On March 10, 1876, the first transmission was made through a voice device, by Graham Bell, saying: “Mr. Watson, come here. I need to speak with you.”
At this time, the name of telephone was assigned to the device, which is why March 10th is celebrated all over the world as Telephone Day.
The telephone is today an important means of communication and connection that has changed humanity.
