From the early acoustic devices to IP phone systems, the telephone travelled a long journey which was helmed by many inventors. The earliest experiments in this field were done back in the 17th century when the British physicist and polymath, Robert Hooke made an acoustic string phone. The acoustic ‘tin can telephone’ also known as “lover’s phone” remained popular for centuries. It worked on a simple mechanism that involved two diaphragms connected to each other with a string that carried the sound through mechanical vibrations from one end to another.
