magacious writes "March 10 is the anniversary — 133rd to be precise — of the first telephone call.
It occurred between Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant Thomas Watson back on this day in 1876.
But there is some debate about whether the man who made it (Bell) is actually the rightful owner of the crown for such invention.
Having worked on the idea of transmitting speech using electricity for some time, Bell filed his patent on 14 February 1876. Interestingly, and perhaps controversially, the move came just hours before his main rival for the title of inventor of the telephone, Elisha Gray.
A streak of luck or just pure genius?"
