Did you know that the man who invented the telephone refused to have the telephone in his study? Alexander Graham Bell was the one who invented the telephone, which is mostly used every day around the world. The telephone would transport sound by electric wires. Later on, he went through some years of lawful objections, resulting in history’s greatest patent battles. Although Alexander Graham Bell began his legacy by following the hard to live up to teaching example set by his father, Bell guided deaf students to become teachers, and eventually created the telephone, an invention important to society today. Alexander Graham Bell never thought he would have invented a thing, especially not the telephone. He was born on March 3 1847 …show more content…
Bell started to try making vowel sounds over electric wires, experimented with kites, and was interested in a problem of mechanical flight. After doing early researching about the article he read, Bell wanted to go deeper into the world of mechanics and electricity, thinking of how in the world could he transport sound from area to area. In 1874 the most used invention around the world came to mind, the telephone. Bell researched mechanics and electricity. While in the beginning of researching about the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell applied for being a patent and he was granted on March 7, 1876. Bell was assisted by Thomas Watson, who was a bookkeeper and a carpenter. Bell was known as the “teacher of the deaf” but he quit teaching and began to work on the telephone full time hours. After a couple weeks of researching, Alexander Graham Bell was able to work with electric wires and start adding vowel …show more content…
Alexander Graham Bell’s wife Mabel join him in running the Aerial experimenting Association (AEA), which was funded by Bell in 1907. Bell partnered up with J.A.D Mcurdy and with the F.W Casey and a couple other engineers. Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge and U.S army were very interested in the development of flight. The AEA turned gasoline-powered biplanes and built several successful aircrafts. The first ever hydrofoil engined aircraft sped at 72 kilometers in 1911 (HD-1). The HD-2 broke down during the testing of how fast and far it could fly. The HD-3 was built in 1913 and worked fine, just really slow. Last but not least number 4, the HD-4 was built in 1917 and set the world record for 11404 kilometers in
Debate continues to who should be credited with inventing the telephone. In 2002, even the US Congress succumbed to the truth and “changed its mind” on the issue gave credit to the real inventor and rewrote history that the original telephone was in fact invented by Antonio Meucci. Bell was a cunning opportunist who took all the credit for a more brilliant scientist’s work. The House of Representatives voted to recognize telecommunications genius Antonio Meucci as the father of modern communications. Credit usually goes to the person with the patent and in the history books Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone after Bell was awarded US Patent Number 174,465, Improvement on Telegraphy, on March 7, 1876.
For Americans, this allowed for overnight travel and became time-saving. Beneficial to businesses in the railroad industry, the demand of these cars went up. Moreover, Alexander Graham Bell was an inventor who created the telephone in 1876, inspired by the hearing impairment of both his mother and wife. The patent of this invention was soon recognized globally, and affected the means of communication. Although it was a novelty item, it was crucial and necessary for businesses to possess.
Has the question of “who even thought to invent the telephone or metal detector?” ever came into your head? Or been going through the internet and came across the name Alexander Graham Bell and wondered who it was? Well Alexander was the inventor of many things like the telephone, and the metal detector. Bell was a very smart man who came from a very smart family.
Alexander Graham Bell is the man most remembered for creating the telephone. Other than that he is a man who always had an obsession for communication. Mr. Bell once said, “Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of man minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.” Alexander Graham Bell’s actions are shown in three ways in this essay; the telephone, other inventions, and his passion for communication.
The telephone was said to be invented by Alexander Graham Bell, some critics believe that the real inventor was a man named Elisha Gray. After many debates people commonly now believe that Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone. Inspired by his deaf parents he wanted to invent something that people could use easily and was easy to access. So he worked on his invention day and night for many days. Eventually He got the perfect thing that he had been looking for. He had finally invented a device that you could hear human voices through technology. On March 7, 1876 after all of Alexander G. Bell’s hard work he patented his great invention...
He grew up with his family as strong culture of speech therapy because his father and grandfather were involved for speech therapy with him that they encouraged them to become public speaker and Deaf Educator. His father invented of visible speech what he was development of alphabet and symbols to understand of different mouth movements as concept of reading-lip. In 1870, his family moved out to Canada from England, then one year later, moved out to Boston from Canada. He still motivates for Deaf educator. He taught them for signs, the alphabet, and speech in success of teaching method for deaf educator in Boston School for the Deaf. He has public speakers in large audiences, and then somehow he noticed three Deaf women what they attractive him. Also, they are different degree of hearing level. They have different background as speech, sign language skills, and experiences. Bell attracted on last young Deaf woman. Alexander discovered for new invent of telephone in 1874, because he tried to make new hearing aids to help Deaf people able to hear by noise and sound even help them to development of speech. It was successful for developed of his invention of the telephone. In 1874, Bell tested to called his assistant, Thomas Watson and said: “Watson I want to come here.” (Nicken, 133 pp.) After first invention, he had another inventions of technology is photo-phone. Bell attracted and fell love with his deaf student mentioned is Mabel Hubbard. She was illness to become Deaf cause by scarlet fever in five years old. She never learn sign language as manual communication, also, she uses speech and lipreading as well. That how she affect to change Bell’s mind to lead of against of sign language and Deaf’s marriage. He decided to studied for science in eugenic what he wants to help Deaf people become able to hearing and speaking to other people as hearing people consider of “normalization.”

The cylinder phonograph proved to be successful, but the problem with the machine was that the tin foil only allowed a few uses. With the help of another great inventor, new advances could be made to improve this invention. The inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, had set up a laboratory for his cousin, Chichester Bell and Charles Tainter. Bell a...
... people in the U.S. owned telephones. In 1879, the Bell Company acquired Edison's patents for the carbon microphone from Western Union. This made the telephone practical for longer distances and it was no longer necessary to shout to be heard at the receiving telephone. Bell is also credited with the invention of the metal detector in 1881. The device was quickly put together in an attempt to find the bullet in the body of U.S. President James Garfield. In 1922 Bell died of complications from his diabetes, he was also afflicted by pernicious anemia. Alexander Graham Bell was an amazing person and he changed the world for ever.
There were also many inventions during this time. One of which is something most of us in the twenty-first century can’t live without, the telephone. It was invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell (Farah 611). 69 years earlier, the first practical steamboat was designed by Robert Fulton (Farah 606). But there was more to the 1800’s than just science and inven...
Many inventions revolutionized society and one example is the telephone, which was introduced to society in 1876. The inventor, Alexander Graham Bell developed this idea and the telephone made him famous because communication would never be the same after the development of the telephone. The telephone made an incredible impact on society. The impact could be seen through the quickness of communication, business, easier communication in wars, and some negative effects too.
On June 21, 1890, Bell and his assistant Charles Sumner invented a wireless telephone, named a photo phone. This photo phone allowed the transmission of both sound and huma...
On March 10th, 1876, a revolutionary invention was created by Alexander Graham Bell. The telephone was invented to send vibrations from one receiver to another electrically (History.com ‘Speech Transmitted by Telephone’ accessed on March 11, 2014), and due to Alexander Graham Bell accidentally discovering that he could hear the sound of a ‘clock spring twanging’ (Marry Bellis, ‘The History of the Telephone’ accessed on March 11, 2014), that was possible. The invention of the telephone permitted new levels of communication, allowed families connect around the world, and improved military systems, but also served negative consequences, such as breached privacy. If two people wanted to have a conversation, they would have to write letters back and forth, but with the telephone they were able to pick up the receiver, dial the number, and be connected in a matter of minutes. Telephones enabled long-distance communication, which allowed families to converse despite their location. Military officials and soldiers were also able to stay in touch through field telephones as well as keep contact with the president. Although telephones were originally placed in general stores or other major city locations and homes/neighborhoods that were wired (Elon.edu ‘World Changes Due to the Telephone’ accessed on April 2, 2014), telephones became commonly used in homes in the early twentieth century when telephones began to connect internationally.
Despite the short amount of time since the introduction of the smartphone, the rapid development of the software and technology has had a tremendous effect on the everyday life of society today. The concept of communicating through a telephone was developed in the 1870s. Devices to transmit speech electrically were designed by Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell, but Bell's design was patented first. On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell achieved one of his greatest successes in the making of the telephone. This brought upon a major change in communication and gave leeway to the improvement of the telephone in the days to come (Bellis, 2013b).
Alexander Graham Bell was a notable scientist and engineer that changed the world with his invention of the telephone. Without the telephone, everyone would not have a reliable communication device. Alexander Graham Bell is considered one of the most influential people in human history.
