The Inventor

Alexander Graham Bell's

He is known as a world figure for his discoveries. But his most controversial invention was the actual telephone was the invention of Antonio Meucci.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Not much formal education, but well taught by his family and self-taught, so the inventor Alexander Graham Bell telephone was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

His father was Alexander Melville Bell and his mother was Eliza Grace. Alexander had two brothers and a sister.

Bell's interest in reproducing vocal sounds naturally arose because his father was an expert in vocal physiology, improving speech and teaching deaf people.

FIND PHONE

Bell had been to Boston, Massachusetts in 1871. It was there in 1875 that he made experiments that led to the invention of the telephone.

In the much-written biography of Alexander Graham Bell it is known that he collected patents to solidify his invention in February 1876. And from there he got rewarded a few weeks later.

(It is interesting to note that another person named Elisha Gray also collected an invention patent for the endorsement of similar equipment on the same day as what Bell did, only a few hours apart).

Shortly after his patent was received, Bell showed the phone at a 100-year exhibition in Philadelphia. His discovery attracted great public attention and received appreciation for his work.

However, The Western Union Telegraph Company, which offered $100,000 dollars, made the invention of the device avoid paying for it.

TELEPHONE DEVELOPMENT

Bell and his friends, in July 1877, founded their own company, the forefather of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Telephones quickly and massively achieved commercial success. AT&T is the largest business company in the world.

GETTING RICH ON THE PHONE

In November the price has risen to $1000 per share! (In March it was his wife who urged a rush to sell because she was worried that the stock price would not go that high again!)

In 1881 they were recklessly selling another third of the remaining shares they owned. Even so, in 1883 they were able to get a profit worth about a million dollars.

WANT TO HELP THE DEAF

Although the invention of the telephone has caused Bell to become rich, he never stopped continuing his research, and he managed to find again a variety of useful tools even though not as important as the phone. His interests vary, but his main goal is to help the deaf.

His own wife was a deaf girl he trained himself. Four children, two men two women came out thanks to marriage but all four died young.

In Alexander Graham Bell's biography, Bell became a US citizen in 1882 and died in 1922. The size of Bell's influence lies in his large assessment of the small meaning of the telephone itself.

But there are two things worth considering. First, although private telephone conversations can be done over the radio, it will be very difficult to replace our entire telephone system with an equivalent radio network.

Second, the principal method of transmitting the sound that Bell had designed for later telephone receivers was to take operands and be used by radio receivers, vinyl records and various other devices.

GRAHAM BELL WAS NOT THE INVENTOR OF THE TELEPHONE

Alexander Graham Bell was not the inventor of the telephone we know today. Many people think that he is the inventor of the telephone plane.

But the truth is that Alexander Graham Bell stole the design from Antonio Meucci and then patented it to benefit financially from the patent.
