Alexander Bell-KI-Jordan Fu

Alexander Graham Bell, who was born in March 3, 1847, was an eminent scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator. Alexander Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1870, Bell moved to Canada. And a year later, he moved to United States. Bell's father, grandfather, and brother all worked on elocution and speech; and both his mother and wife were deaf, which profoundly influenced Bell's life and work, especially about telephone.

                In 1874, Alexander Graham Bell suggested the idea of a telephone to his assistant, Thomas Watson. Bell began experimenting with ways to transmit sound via an electrical current of varying intensity. Eventually, in 1876, he succeeded. Picking up the crude telephone, he called the next door, saying, “Come here, Watson, I want you.” Watson heard and came. Gradually, telephones revolutionized business and personal communication.

                In 1877, Bell organized the Bell Telephone Company, which eventually became the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T). As we all know, AT&T is one of the biggest multinational telecommunications corporations in America now.
