One of the most wonderful inventions of the past one hundred years is the telephone. This familiar, handy instrument has become a highly important part of daily life. The first telephone was installed in 1877. Today there are over 170 million telephones in the world. The average person in North American makes over six hundred calls a year. The word telephone comes from the Greek tele and phone, which means "distant" and" sound". These words actually describe what the telephone does. It carries sound over a distance rapidly and accurately by using electric currents. The telephone transmits speech so that it sounds natural and has enough volume for conversation to take place as if the speakers were in the same room. Any telephone can be quickly connected to almost any other telephone anywhere in the world.
