You may say it softly or you may holler at the top of your voice, but the person at the other end knows that all you are trying to do is get in touch with a greeting.</p> <p>Legend has it that Thomas Alva Edison was the first to say hello over the telephone. But Edison didn&rsquo;t invent &lsquo;hello&rsquo; by a long shot. As a matter of fact, the greeting has been around for centuries much before the invention of telephone in 1885.</p>
