Alexander Grsambell

Alexander Graham Bell was an extraordinary man, who gave the world one of the most reliable technology known as the telephone. Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland, but unfortunately passed away on August 2, 1922 from his condition of diabetes. Bell was a curious and eager kid since he was little, in fact when Bell was 12 years old he made homemade de-husking machine, which was used by his neighbors in exchange for a workshop in their mill where Bell continued his experiments. The main intention of Bell was to send a harmonic telegraph. Bell made this become a reality as he said the famous words “Mr. Watson, come here -- I want you” from another room to his assistant Thomas A. Watson. The reason that drove Bell to this creation was that his mother and wife were both deaf. Before Bell even had any ambitions to being an inventor he followed his father’s footsteps as teacher in deaf schools. In addition Bell had also invented many other inventions. The first of many was the hydrofoil, which was pretty much a jet boat. The next one of his inventions was the photophone, which could transmit the voice of a human hundreds of meters through a beam of light this was the world’s first electro-optical system. Then to top it all off he also started developing aeronautical kites that could take flight by humans. One of his final inventions was the first metal detector, which failed due to quick designing used to locate the slug shot in the assassination of President Garfield. Bell had accomplished many great things in his long life of 75 years and has given us a technology that even today we rely upon heavily.
