Alexander Graham Bell


Bell was born 3 Mar1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father was a noted authority in elocution and speech correction, and Bell was largely educated at home, supplemented by other schooling, and by age 17 was himself a teacher. His family moved to Canada in 1870, and Bell was lecturing and teaching in Boston within a few years. In 1875 he began writing specifications for the telephone, patented it in 1876, and established the Bell Telephone Company to introduce it commercially. He continued to do basic research in sound reproduction, transmission and recording, including an improvement on Edison's phonograph in 1877. He also established a research laboratory in Nova Scotia.

Bell maintained a lifelong interest in education, especially for the deaf, and was associated with several foundations and projects, especially in the late 1800s, though none of his later inventions had the impact and commercial success of the telephone. He died in 1922.
