      Meucci discovered the principle of the telephone in 1849 and developed
      a working model by 1859, many years before Alexander Graham Bell's patent.  The US patent office have determined
      that Antonio Meucci will be recognized worldwide as the true inventor
      of the telephone.

        It's obvious that ANTONIO MEUCCI was the inventor of the telephone, Bell stole his idea and took full advantage, in a dishonest way.

        The man responsible for everyone having a mobile stuck to their ear is of course the great Alexander Graham Bell. Born on March 3rd, 1848, Bell was a Scottish inventor and scientist and is still widely considered to be the foremost inventor of the telephone, although there is some controversy surrounding this. A number of people claim that American Antonio Meucci was the real inventor ~ but he wasn't!
        In addition to invention an effective communication tool, Bell was also responsible for his work in the field of aviation and hydrofoil. Bell had many ideas which were later to become inventions. His work in magnetics produced what we now know as the tape recorder, the hard disc and the floppy disk.
        Bell's own home used a primitive form of air-conditioning where fans blew currents of air across big blocks of ice and he experimented with the idea of using the sun to power and heat things.
        In 1882, Bell became a naturalised citizen of the United Stets and in 1988 was recognised as one of the founding members of the National Geographic Society. He was also in receipt of many honours during his life time. Bell married Mabel Hubbard, who was one of his pupils at Boston University and also a deaf mute. It is a little known fact that his telephone idea came about when trying to invent something that would allow him to communicate effectively to his wife and his deaf mother.
        Bell died 1922 and was buried on top of Beinn Bhreagh mountain, overlooking the lake. He was survived by his wife and two of their four children.

        Meucci did infact invent the telephone, and Bell stole his invention, it has been proven through the patents office, and Meucci was an Italian living in America. It is also important to mention that Bell knew of Meuccis work and actually had access to his invention, Bell filed a patent after Meucci failed to renew his own, so really, its obvious who the real inventor was, Bell just stole the idea from Meucci and claimed it as his own, pathetic really.

        Meucci invented the telephone, just ask the US patents office, look at the dates, Meucci was first, Bell was a johnny come lately, who stole Meuccis Idea, get a grip, research your facts and you'll soon agree that Meucci was the true inventor, not that imposter Bell!

        To sum it up - ANTONIO MEUCCI was robbed by Alexander Graham Bell, luckily the patent office kept records of who first submitted the idea, and no one can argue with that.
