Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. Curious and full of ideas, he grew up in a family whose parents were experts on elocution (the art of public speaking) and teaching the deaf to speak. Alexander's mother taught him until he was ten years old. When he was a youth, he created a machine that removed the husks from grain. It was his first invention.

After studying at the University of Edinburgh and University College, London, Bell became his father's assistant. He taught the deaf to talk by adopting his father's system of visible speech.

In 1870 Bell's family, in search of a healthier climate, moved to Brantford, Ontario, Canada. In 1871 he went to Boston, Massachusetts, to teach at Sarah Fuller's School for the Deaf, the first such school in the world. Throughout his life he continued to educate the deaf, and he founded the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf.

From 1873 to 1876 Bell experimented with many inventions, including an electric speaking telegraph (the telephone). On March 7, 1876, the US Patent Office granted Bell a patent, or a document guaranteeing a person the right to make and sell an invention for a set number of years, for a communication device for “transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically”. It was the most valuable single patent ever issued. It opened a new age in communications technology.

In 1877 the first telephone was installed in a private home; a conversation took place between Boston and New York using telegraph lines; in July the Bell Telephone Company was formed. That year Bell demonstrated the telephone to England and France.

The Bell Company built the first long-distance line in 1884, connecting Boston and New York. Bell and others organised the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1885 to operate other long-distance lines.

The Volta Laboratory was started by Bell in Washington, D.C. with the money he received from France (about $10,000) for his invention. At the laboratory Bell and his colleagues worked on various projects during the 1880s, including the photophone, induction balance, audiometer, and phonograph improvements.

Bell was also involved in other activities that took much of his time. The magazine Science was founded in 1880 because of Bell's efforts. As National Geographic Society president from 1896 to 1904, he contributed to the success of the society and its publications. Aviation was Bell's primary interest after 1895. Bell was granted 18 patents in his name, and 12 he shared with collaborators. His contribution to the modern world and its technologies was enormous.
