ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL
March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922
EARLY LIFE
Until the 19th century, it was more difficult to
communicate with friends and family. Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in
Edinburgh, Scotland. He was a Scottish American inventor, and also a teacher
for the deaf students. He was inspired to learn how to communicate with the
hearing impaired because of his mother who was a deaf. As a child, Bell was
fascinated by the art of communication.
THE IDEA OF THE TELEPHONE
After college, Bell worked with his father to help enhance
the hearing of deaf students. He taught the students by using his father’s
system of visible speech, speaking using the lips and tongue. In 1875, Bell
invented the first version of the telephone. Bell was fascinated with the new
invention the telegraph and how it could send messages through metal wires as
electro lights.
