At the age of 19, Graham Bell learned to use tuning forks to explore resonance. Now Graham Bell made a report of his practical and sent it to a friend of his father, whose name was Alexander Ellis. Alexander Ellis told him that a German scientist was already using Bell's formula. And then Ellis also sent Graham Bell a copy of Hermann's work, but Graham Bell did not know how to read German. To this Graham Bell says, "I thought that Helmholtz had done it ... and that my failure was due only to my ignorance of electricity. It was a valuable blunder ... If I had been able to read German in those days , I might never have commenced my experiments!". This tells us that Graham Bell was able to start his further work only because he did not know the German language. But if it did, what if Graham Bell understood Hermann's work? Would he have carried out his upcoming experiment and would we have got the biggest invention in history, the mobile phone? So today we will see what the world would have been like if Graham Bell knew the German language.
That was the year 1866, when Graham Bell, while joking around with his dog's voice, found a way to explore resonance. And for the first time Graham Bell was so serious about any of his experiments. When he sent his report to Ellis, Ellis immediately responded and said that a German scientist was already doing it. And Ellis also sent him the work of Hermann, when Graham Bell read that work, he understood that this experiment had no future. So that's why he stopped working on resonance, as a teenager he was finding it very difficult to concentrate on one task. He was still working only for voices and sounds. When Graham Bell was a professor at a school for the deaf, he began to focus on amplifying the voice. And that's how he invented the amplifier that could make the sounds louder. Being a professor of the deaf, he gave his instruments to his students so that they could not have any problem in listening. Letters were still in trend in the world. Time passed, a decade, then two decades and then several decades. Many inventions were delayed due to the letter. It used to take days to get a letter from one place to another. But for the first time a company thought that it would deliver the letters very fast and such a company was formed which was named Telegraph. The computer had been invented, and after the creation of Apple, different technical horses raced in the field of technology, with Apple at the forefront and Microsoft at number two. In 2000, a new idea was born in the mind of Steve Jobs, the owner of Apple. He thought that why not lock the computer in a small box. It took many years to get one letter to different offices, but in the end the computer was locked in a small box. And Apple launched its smart computer. And after the advent of Facebook in 2004, everything changed. There is a different stir in the world of internet and social media. While everyone was crazy behind computers and smart computers, Facebook was slowly starting to eliminate the letter trend by providing messaging feature. But all the official work was still being done on the letter itself. Messages and the Internet had brought some momentum in this world. Google, Apple, and Facebook together started a different revolution in the world. When Google brought its virtual assistant to the world, it came to know that a person can talk to another through a smart computer, just like it's Google Assistant was doing. And after a lot of efforts, smart computers became smart phones. These were smart phones that were running on Google's search engine and Android's operating system. And these smart phones became famous as Google Pixel. But only rich could afford such a smart phone. But later on, many companies making phones contributed their own, and gradually the phone became available to all the people.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Technology is the seed which, whether sown today or tomorrow, will surely bear fruit. In the future, as the need of humans increases, new inventions will continue.
