Who invented the telephone for kids

Alexander Graham Bell was an influential scientist, engineer and inventor.

He was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He died on August 2, 1922 at the age of 75.

He is widely credited with the invention of the first practical telephone.

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

He didn’t have the middle name “Graham” until he turned 11 when his father gave it to him as a birthday present.

He’d earlier asked to have a middle name like his two brothers.

Bell became an excellent piano player at a young age.

When he was 23, Bell and his parents moved to Canada.

Bell studied the human voice and worked with various schools for the deaf.

Bell experimented with sound, working with devices such as a ‘harmonic telegraph’ (used to send multiple messages over a single wire) and a ‘phonautograph’ (used to record sound).

He worked on acoustic telegraphy with his assistant, an electrical designer named Thomas Watson.
