Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was a Scottish-born inventor, scientist, and engineer best known for patenting the first working telephone. In 1885, he also helped to form the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T).
Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all worked in the field of elocution and speech, and his mother and wife were both deaf, all of which had a major influence on Bell's life's work. Bell's studies into hearing and speech prompted him to experiment with hearing aids, which resulted to the first U.S. patent for the telephone being granted on March 7, 1876. Bell refused to have a telephone in his study because he believed his invention to be an intrusion on his main work as a scientist.Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was a Scottish-born inventor, scientist, and engineer best known for patenting the first working telephone.
