ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL [1847 – 1922] How often do you use the telephone? Every day, two or three times a day or almost daylong? What would it be like if there was no phone? Thanks to Alexander Graham Bell, who invented one of the most significant domestic device of today – the Telephone. This Scottish – American scientist had an inventive mind and a great vision. An inventor and a teacher of deaf, he is more famous today for his invention of the telephone then his pioneering efforts for the deaf and the mutes. Both Graham’s mother and wife had serious hearing impairments, a challenge that directed him towards the path of inventions. He defined an inventor as someone "who looks around 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."
Affected by tuberculosis in his youth, he never recovered fully and often suffered from severe headaches; yet never let his problems hold him back from being creative. Despite devoting his entire life in search of new inventions, he never accepted that he had reached the top.
In the great man’s words: "I never really completed my revisions on telegraphy. I do believe that the concept of telephony has greatly impacted our society. I hope that this invention will be remembered."
