We use the telephone every day - it’s one of the most popular gadgets around the world. Do you know who invented it?

Telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1875.

Alexander was born in 1847 in Scotland. He studied mostly at home - his father taught him. Young Alexander loved Maths and read lots of books about engineering.

Later, his family moved to The USA. There his father started a new school where Alexander worked as a teacher. It was a special school for deaf students - people who cannot hear. In his free time, Alexander kept studying Maths, Physics and engineering.

In that time people communicated with their friends and families by sending letters or telegrams. Delivering letters took too much time. Telegrams were fast, but very expensive.

After his working day at school, Alexander Bell went to the laboratory where he worked hard and tried to create a machine which helps people be able to talk to someone who is far away… And in 1875 he did it! “Mr Watson, come to my room, please” - it was the first phrase Bell told his assistant who worked in another room. He heard and came!

In 1876 Bell and Watson demonstrated their invention in Philadelphia, The USA. People who saw it were amazed! A year later, Alexander started Bell Telephone Company which produced and sold phones.

However, Bell couldn’t phone his mum or wife and heard their voices - they both were deaf…

Alexander Bell and other scientists kept working to make phones better and in the 1920s American people could have telephones at their homes. Now we can’t imagine our life without it!
