Alexander Graham Bell Research Paper

Alexander Graham Bell, (1847–1922) was a teacher, scientist, and innovator. He was born in Scotland, on March 3, 1847. During his childhood, sparkle of interest in linguistic had been found by reading Shakespeare and studying theater. In his 20s, Bell started working with his father to teach deaf students to speak in Canada. In 1871, Bell moved to Boston, where he opened a school for teachers of the deaf. He began a series of experiments using electronic devices to copy human speech. Bell discovered that speech could be transformed into electricity, transmitted by wire, and converted back into spoken words. On March 10, 1876, he spoke the first complete sentence ever transmitted by telephone: “ Watson, come here. I want you.” In March 1876, …show more content…
Helmholtz used tuning forks to conduct experiments in sound. He invented a device that used an intermittent electrical current to activate an electromagnet. This in turn kept the tuning fork vibrating. The device spurred Bell to start working with telegraphic instruments and batteries. As you can imagine living in a world with silent people and a natural scientific bent made him curious about sound. In inventing the telephone, Bell sought to break the sound transmission barrier which was then limited by how loud a person could shout. He said, “Someday, someone will find a way to transmit speech and music by …show more content…
By the time telephone was introduced to the public, telegraph is mainly the solution of point-to-point communication. In the case of a telephone call, the person or machine speaking into the phone on both ends, the telephone itself, the cable that transmits the message and the telephone at the other end forms a more humanized way of
