Way before we had cell phones and Internet ; we had to travel great distances to deliver messages.This method of delivering messages took along time. Fast forward a couple hundred centuries to a man that changed the face of faster communication with the invention of The Telegraph and the Telephone. Mr Alexander Graham Bell was born March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His middle name Graham was added to his full name when he was only 10 years old. During his childhood, Alexander Bell Experienced many positive influences that helped him to become the famous man he is today. Scotland was know as the “Athens of the North” for its rich culture of art and science. Alexander was actually home schooled; He had only received one year of private school.

Alexander Bell had called it the “Harmonic phone”.He had a hard time with money for his project; so two local investors gave him money.. Alexander Bell had worked day and night to perfect his idea. During this time Alexander Bell become highly interested with other inventions, transmitting the human voice over wire. Bell had worked with a man named Watson and they started to work on the first ever harmonic telegraphing and transmitting device. On March 10, 1876 they were successful. The first word ever to come across phones where “Mr. Watson come here; I want you, said Alexander Bell They started to promote and sell their device. Alexander Bell had started a new company called the Bell Telephone Company, with later became to be know as the American Telephone Company.
