 READING
Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on March 3, 1847. When he was only eleven
years old, he invented a machine that could clean wheat. Graham studied anatomy and physiology at the
university of London, but moved with his Family to Quebec, Canada in 1870.Bell soon moved to Boston,
Massachusetts. In 1871, he began working with deaf people and published the system of Visible Hearing
that was developed by his father. Visible Hearing illustrated how the tongue, lips, and throat are used to
produce vocal sounds. In 1872, Bell founded a school for the deaf which soon became part of Boston
University. Alexander Graham Bell is best known for his invention of the telephone. While trying to discover
the secret of transmitting multiple messages on a single wire. One of Bell’s assistants, Thomas A. Watson,
was trying to reactivate a telephone transmitter. After hearing the sound, Bell believed he could send the
sound of a human voice over the wire. After receiving a patent on March 7, 1876 for transmitting sound
along a single wire, he successfully transmitted human speech on March 10th. Bell’s telephone patent was
one of the most valuable patents ever issued. He started the Bell Telephone Company in 1877.Bell went on
to invent a precursor to the modern day air conditioner, and a device called “photophone” that enabled
sound to be transmitted on a beam of light. Today’s fiber optic and laser communication systems are based
on Bell’s photophone research. In 1898, Alexander Graham Bell and his son-in-law took over the National
Geographic Society and built it into one of the most recognized magazines in the world. Bell also helped
found Science Magazine, one of the most respected research journals in the world.
Alexander Graham Bell died on August 2, 1922. On the day of his burial, in honor of Bell, all telephones
services in the United States were stopped for one minute.
