BeitragVerfasst am: 13. März 2005 12:24    Titel: right or wrong Antworten mit Zitat

Hi, ich soll Fragen mit right, wrong oder don't know beantworten. Eigentlich ganz einfach. Aber ich weiß nicht ob ich alles richtig gemacht habe.

Reputedly the first words spoken over a pair of telephone wires were: "Mr Watson, come here - I want you." On 10th March 1876 the Edinburgh emigre and teacher of elocution, Alexander Graham Bell, was calling to his associate Tom Watson two rooms away in a house in Boston, Massachusetts, over his experimental telephone. Watson rushed along to Bell's room exclaiming, "It works! I heard you!"

Bell lost no time in testing his equipment over longer distances using existing telegraph wires. Until then people had only been able to communicate by using the dots and dashes of the Morse Code. Six months later Bell was able to recognise his father's voice over a link-up from eight miles away. The telephone was born.

Bell came to England in 1877 and was presented to Queen Victoria to whom he demonstrated his invention. She thought it "most extraordinary" and orderes two phones for herself. In 1878 The Telephone Company Ltd., incorporating Bell's patents, was registered for business in Britain and by 1879 the company had more than 200 subscribers, including instruments at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.

In 1900 the first public call boxes appeared with a call costing one penny. A little over a decade later the Post Office abtained control of most of the private companies which had been operating telephone services until then. In 1936 Britain celebrated a world's first with the co-axial cable laid by the Post Office between London and Birmingham, capable of carryin several hundred telephone conversations simultaneously. A period of phenomenal growth started after the Second World War. Telephone exchange connections in Britain rose from 5.2 million in 1950 to more than 12 million by 1968. Now virtually every household in the country has a landline connection, often with extensions and or handsets in several rooms.

The first transatlantic telephone cable between Britain and USA was laid in 1956. In 1962 the first telecommunications satellite, Telestar, was launched. Since then a network of such satellites has been developed which covers nearly every part of the globe, thus making to someone in the same room as you.

The most significant development in the recent past has been in the mobile telephone market. In most western countries nearly everyboday has one and for many young schoolchildren owning one has become one of their first status symbols. As more and more people use their mobiles for modern communication, the old public call boxes, painted a characteristic red, are slowly disappearing from the British landscape.
