Слайд 8The First Telephone
Alexander Graham Bell was always interested in sound and
speech.
As a boy in Scotland he tried to teach his dog how to talk.
He built a talking machine when he was 16.
His next invention was to be a talking telegraph
Слайд 9The First Telephone
In 1871 he moved to Boston and took a
job teaching the deaf how to speak.
At night Bell worked on his invention.
He hired Thomas Watson to help him.
At the time, many other inventors were also working on inventing the telephone.
Слайд 10The First Telephone
On March 10, 1876, Bell shouted into his telephone
“Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you.” His invention had worked!
Слайд 11Edison’s Light Bulb
Another inventor of the time was Thomas Edison.
A year
after Bell’s telephone, Edison invented the phonograph. A machine that could record a voice and play back it back.
Слайд 12Edison’s Light Bulb
Edison wanted to build a light bulb that was
safe and dependable.
At the time people used gas lights or candles.
He began working in his lab in Menlo Park, New Jersey
Edison relied on his investors to pay for the experiments.
Слайд 13Edison’s Light Bulb
An investor is someone who gives a business or
project money in hope of making a profit.
The hardest part of building the light bulb was finding the right materials.
Edison finally found carbon filament to work the best.
Слайд 14Edison’s Light Bulb
In 1879 Edison had a bulb that lasted for
two days.
An inventor Lewis Latimer improved the light bulb by developing carbon filaments that lasted longer.
Слайд 15Electricity Bring change
Edison knew that his light bulbs needed electricity to
power them.
He built the first power station outside New York City.
In 1882 he had lights in 40 different buildings glowing with light bulbs.
Слайд 16Streetcars and
Horseless Carriages
Frank Sprague invented the first electric streetcar in
Richmond, Virginia in 1888.
Electric streetcars traveled faster than horse-drawn streetcars.
At the same time, other inventors were working on a horseless carriages, or automobiles.
Слайд 17Streetcars and
Horseless Carriages
The first cars with gasoline powered engines were
made in Germany.
The brothers Frank and Charlie Duryea were the first to build a working automobile in the U.S in 1893.
Слайд 18Invention Time Line

1873 - Typewriter
1876 - Telephone
1879 -
Electric Light Bulb
1885 - Automobile
1895 - Radio
1903 - Airplane
Слайд 19Sewing Machine
Isaac Singer’s machine makes it possible to make clothing much
more quickly.
Слайд 20Typewriter
American inventor Christopher Latham Sholes builds the first typewriter.
Слайд 21Telephone
The first long-distance phone line connects New York to Philadelphia in
1887.
Слайд 22Electric Light Bulb
Electric lights began lighting city streets in 1880.
Слайд 23Automobile
The earliest cars can only travel eight miles per hour.
Слайд 24Radio
Italy’s Guglielmo Marconi invents the radio at the age of 20.
Слайд 25Airplane
Orville and Wilber Wright build Flyer, the world’s first successful airplane.
Слайд 26The Wright Brothers
In Dayton, Ohio, Wilber and Orville Wright were working
on another invention that would change the world.
They built and repaired bicycles for a living and knew nothing about flying.
In their free time they decide to build a flaying machine.
Слайд 27The Wright Brothers
In 1899 they built a glider to test.
They went
to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina because of the strong winds and it was not near any big towns.
They had many failures but kept trying.
Finally, on December 17, 1903 the Flyer took flight for 12 seconds and flying 120 feet.
Слайд 28Inventions and Industry
People started businesses to offer telephone and electric service.
Companies
began making streetcars, automobiles and airplanes.
This was good news for Blanche Stuart Scott. She drove a car across the country to help advertise for the company.
Слайд 29Inventions and Industry
This made her famous and provided another opportunity.
She soon
worked for an airplane company, flying airplanes at fairs and air shows.
This made her the first American woman to fly an airplane.
Слайд 30Review Questions

U.S.?
