Graham Bell (Alexander Graham Bell)
Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish-born inventor, scientist, and engineer, best known for inventing the telephone. Born on March 3, 1847, he had a deep interest in sound and communication, influenced by his mother's deafness. Bell's work focused on transmitting voice electronically, leading to the first successful phone call in 1876. His invention revolutionized communication, making it possible for people to talk over long distances instantly. Beyond the telephone, Bell contributed to areas like aeronautics and hydrofoils. He was also a co-founder of the National Geographic Society. Bell passed away on August 2, 1922, leaving a lasting legacy in technology and communication.
