Alexander Graham Bell
1847-1922
"The inventor looks upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world; he is haunted by an idea. The spirit of invention possesses him, seeking materialization.“ Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell was a scientist who invented the first telephone.

Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

His father was a world-famous Professor of phonetics and the inventor of a system which he called "Visible Speech". It helped the deaf to pronounce words they could not hear.
This is Alexander Melville Bell, father to Alexander Graham

Alexander chose the same profession, and as his father he became a teacher of the deaf. He moved to the United States and began to teach deaf children to speak. At the same time he studied the human voice and worked at improving his father's invention.

Bell’s mother and wife were both deaf. This had a major influence on his work.

This is Eliza Grace Symonds, mother to Alexander Graham.

Then Alexander Bell began experimenting with a machine to help the deaf hear. While experimenting, Graham had an idea. He decided to send the voice from one place to another. For years Bell and his assistant Thomas Watson, worked day and night.

At last they decided to try a new kind of transmitter (микрофон). The new transmitter was set in Bell's bedroom on the first floor. Watson was sitting in the laboratory on the ground floor . He put his ear to the receiver (трубка) and was waiting. Suddenly he heard Bell's voice. And not the voice only but the words too: "Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you! " Watson ran upstairs and shouted, "I heard you! " It was on the 10th of March, 1876. The telephone was invented.

Look, this is the very first telephone!

Then Alexander Graham Bell founded the Bell telephone company. He improved on the design of the telephone and by 1886 more than 150 000 people owned telephones in the United States.
Bell is at the opening of the long-distance line from New York to Chicago in 1892.

And this is an early wax cylinder phonograph, or grapho phone. The machine was created by Alexander Graham Bell in 1897.

In 1880 the French Government awards Bell the Volta Prize of 50,000 francs for the invention of the electric speaking telephone. He uses the prize money to set up the Volta Laboratory where he invented the photo phone  that transmitted sounds through light.
This is the photo phone

Alexander Graham Bell also had a strong interest in other scientific fields. He conducted medical research, searched for alternative fuel sources, experimented with metal detectors and much more…

It’s interesting to know that Alexander Graham Bell ….
… became one of the founders of the National Geographic Society in 1888. … was an excellent piano player at a young age. … invented a kite that was able to carry a person. … developed the hydrodrome which was a type of the fastest boat in the world for years with a top speed of 50+ mph.

"The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking." Alexander Graham Bell

*** Years after Bell’s invention, there is a story told of a woman whom he met at a party. When she was introduced to the great inventor she expressed pleasure in meeting him and then she said smilingly, “But often I wish you had never been born.” Bell smiled and said, “I sympathize. I never use that beast myself.” The most extraordinary thing is that Bell hated the telephone, he hardly ever used it.

People from all over the world remember the “father” of the telephone. Look at the monument to Alexander Graham Bell . It is situated in front of the Bell Telephone Building of Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
