Some of the ways electricity changed the way we communcated was one telephone which Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell created in the year 1876. The telephone was created so that people could communicate from around the world. Also people could communicate without travling to one home. The first phone was first located in Wisconsin in the year 1877. The results of the telephone were good. In the year 1886 more than 140,000 people had telephones. Another way electricity changed the wy we communincate is the fax machine. The fax achine was created by Alexander Bain in the year 1843. People didn't really use fax machine until the 1980's. The fax machine was invented so people could just send people messages instead of bring the message to the person by foot. The fax machine reads an inmage from paper than the image is sent to a telephone line where another fax machine recevies the imagethat was sen to them. The first fax machine was vey slow but in the 1970's a japanese man soon made a new generation of the fax machine that worked so much fasted then the first one ever made. The tyewriter was invented in the year 1874-1878 by gunmakers E. Remington & sons in Ilion, New York. Only 5,000 people owned or had used a typewriter.
