1:20 seconds of some dude talking about Alexander Graham Bell and just 10 seconds of what we all came here to hear. The entire recording is actually longer, but guess we needed to make room for slate to yammer on about it
Vilius Stripeika No! You are gonna dislike this video just because of that! Think of all the trouble they went through to find Alexander's voice!!!!!!!
DH Productions Incorporated Checked your channel. You have a video literally called "GIVE ME VIEWS," and because it's called that, I'm not going to watch it.
as a history nerd you know, that phillip reis invented the telephone 10 years earlier and the first spoken words in a telephone were "Das Pferd frisst keinen Gurkensalat".
No, he didn't anticipate that at all, he had the equipment to play it back, and this recording was one of his many. The reason it wasn't played for so long is because playing it would damage the wax recording. We had to wait a while until we had 3D scanning technology so we could read it without damaging it.
@@theskeletonboi : I think it's a distinct possibility that the thought had occurred to him: Speaking directly to the Future, like an ancient papyrus scroll, by voice, forevermore, for as long as such things exist. He's speaking to us here and now, and to all of our descendants across Future Time, not by written words or painted pictures but by the sound of his voice, him among the very first to EVER do so. _cf.:_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-znKNQXo58pE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mMdL7ZI5TdM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PRJpn02crbI.html
@@codeoptimizationware2803 Nice thought, but that's just an assumption... an unlikely one at that. By the way, you have an excellent grasp of the English language; You just need to work on your grammar.
@@theskeletonboi : I didn't assume anything nor made any claim of being psychic, but I'm aware of the possibility that he might've been considering the Future, and will not assert as if it were utterly impossible that he could've been mindful of the Future while having invented a brand new technology. "You just need to work on your grammar." Oh? Explain, Mr. Spock hehe LOL hehehe
@@codeoptimizationware2803 I don't think you're dedicating enough time into reading my sentences; You believe that I called you a psychic. My statement stands, you made an assumption. After your grammar study you should take a look at the rules of Propositional Logic. Let's start by fixing those "run-on" sentences. Enjoy you're study session(s)!
Due to the poor quality of the recording (which is completely understandable!) most of the speech sounds robotic, but the way he said Bell sent shivers down my spine. It sounds so human. It seems weird to say but you kind of forget that people back then were just as human as us. Things like this really put it into perspective.
It’s good to know that Alexander Graham Bell worked so hard to create the telephone so we could talk long distances just so we could transform that into writing emails and texting and no longer needing to hear each other’s voices. Wow we have come so far, we’re right back to writing stationary again. Thank u sir.
"This is actually very, very cool to hear the voice of the inventor that developed a piece of technology that we today cannot do without..... hear my voice Mr. Graham Bell from the great beyond: THANK YOU!"
he didnt invent the telephone he stole the invention! An Italian man actually begun the design for it but didnt have the technology or the money to complete it.
I've heard Houdini's voice, some others from roughly the same time, and now Bell's. One thing they have in common appears to be their use of what's called the "Transatlantic Accent," which was what upper-class Americans (and not quite so upper-class, but who wanted to be perceived that way) used to sound cultured. It is an amalgam of American and British English and features rolled R's and L's. A rolled L sounds something like this, a pronunciation of the word 'building' : "biddle-ding." A number of radio and television announcers used Transatlantic to sound classy up into perhaps the middle '50s.
ethantwolfe Actually British history predates America by at least 1000 years and the whole story of how the UK was formed is relevant to something called history that does not just apply to "Murica" the UK is a nation that comprises of four countries, Scotland, England, Wales and North Ireland. It was formed in 1707 between England and Scotland after hundreds of years of Scots fighting to own their land when England wanted to expand their empire.
+Armin Arlert the Hero well that's a nice bias attitude. forget that it was a Scottish king that took the throne of England, ignore that Scotland regularly invaded England, completely dismiss the Highland clearances were done by Scottish Lords... and don't mention England has supported and propped up Scotland for 4 centuries... but yes, it's much easier to just say "Scotland fought to free itself from English imperialism"
"He had lived his life in England..." - shows a map of the United Kingdom (which is made up of 4 countries, including England!). He was scottish more than anything else. /P
@@ellie-ld1uc He was living in canada at the time he invented the phone. nova scotia to be exact. the people on eastern canada tend to have a very distinct accent. youtube Nova scotia accent.

Harry Baker and commentator said he lived in England while the illustrations showed Ireland and Scotland included. I don't think you realise how annoyed some Irish and Scots would be if you were too ignorant to realise that they're their own separate countries
Qwertyuiop Lmao he said England, and showed Ireland, yet he takes the time to only show Canada, and not include the US. Whoever made this video is a fucking edjit.
Meucci invented the telephone. He dropped off his designs at the patent office where they were "lost". Soon after, This bell guy gets credit for inventing the telephone. Just so happened that Bell worked at that patent office where meucci's designs were "lost".
i been saying that to! Bell is a fraud and gets more credit then he deserves for this invention! Also he actually had a black man draw the design for the telephone.
Wow, I just heard the voice of one of my most famous distant relatives (that I know of). I feel like... idk, like I've finally accomplished something I was supposed to by birth... Might have to listen a few more times.
Huh... cool... I'm actually related to the guy... I don't remember how exactly... Janette Bell was my great grandmother... who was from Scotland... so... you know... I have no reason to tell anyone this... but anyway, how is everyone today?
The Philosopher I don't know too much about it beyond that, but it's still a fun thing to tell people. I'd suggest you look into your family lineage, you might find something cool!
BloodySteel64 I don't really know how to do that? Actually I know I'm related to a member of the Ferguson clan in Scotland a few hundred years ago. But that's it.
Scotland is a small country with a limited population, but it produced a lot of inventors and people that contributed to the knownledge of mankind. This is very interesting..and by the way Edinburgh is quite more beautiful than the overrated London!!!
He is Scottish. You marked on Edinburgh. It's not in England. How can such basic geography mistakes be made, not just by some random but somebody making an educational video about somebodies accent lol.
1:00 So many Americans ignorantly think 'England' is the United Kingdom. Alexander Graham Bell was indeed British- well British/Canadian but he was a Scot, not English! That is really irritating. It would be like equating Texas to the US. Otherwise, good video.
It's quite frustrating that it is not well known or people don't do their research. 1. England, Wales, Scotland and Nothern Ireland make up the UK. 2. England alone does not mean UK. 3. Only Northern Ireland is part of the UK, nothing else, as the country became a republic in 1923 when they succeeded from British ties. Northern Ireland is still considered the only part still tied with the UK. 4. Scotland has had the mind to also succeed from the UK but, nothing has been established.
Actually not only americans. It's popular around the entire globe, even in Europe to call "it" England. When i hear people going to UK in 90% i hear them saying they're going to England even if they go to Scotland or Wales.
It's amusing how dumb are you. Really, a moron to the core. " I am european, and I have never heard someone from my country call Scotland "England". You are very ignorant." wtf is this argument?! Like really, are you even thinking before posting?! How am I ignorant for saying the truth from experience? How am >>>I
bell gets more credit then he deserves for this invetion. Antonio meccuci actually started the designing for the invention but never got round to finishing it bell is a fraud he stole the invention!
Urm, that map you showed at 1:00 isn't a map of England, that's a map of the British Isles. Hell, there are two sovereign states and 5 countries on that map.
Tatiana Davidson It may seem that way. But it is backed up by many statistics and studies: news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/05/0502_060502_geography.html
Sloth from The Goonies I took the poll online, and I did pretty well. By the way, that study was done nine years ago, and all the people involved have been out of that age range for four years. Then of course you must take into account the knowledge that the participants gained after the poll, and the fact that "most Americans" are actually between the ages of 25-45, which would be out of the age range that was polled. Now, what were you saying about overgeneralization again?
Tatiana Davidson I could do this all day. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10640690/Americans-surveyed-misunderstood-misrepresented-or-ignorant.html
"Uhhh.. dunno what to say.. Err.. this is Alexander Graha.... Nooo, too formal... how about a wee song? Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down just give me a minute and sit right there I'll tell you how I became the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Recording end."
He thinks that the whole of the British Isles (Ireland included) is England. He also thinks London is in Lincoln. (England is that bit below Scotland and to the right of Wales.) (London is in Middlesex, not Lincoln.)
PrayerfulToe6 Not all, no. The vast majority, yes. We're pretty much bred from birth to hate England first, and then everything else with varying degrees of extreme distastefulness. I was defective.
Alexander Graham Bell lived in Edinburgh, which is my own hometown. Even to this day, British Telecom's Edinburgh office is in a building named "Alexander Graham Bell House".
-Sybacrid- Some time ago, I read a biography of Bell that was published around 1931, when Watson was still alive. It said there were FIVE judges who looked over his studies and decided that Bell is the ONE AND ONLY inventor of the telephone.
truefalse That's not quite right. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and his voice is typically Scottish. I come from near there, so I can tell. But he did live for one year in London after leaving school at 15 before returning to Scotland to continue his education, first at a school in Elgin, then at Edinburgh University. He had intended to study further at the University of London (was accepted), but then emigrated to Canada and later the USA with his family when he was about 21.
