Alexander Graham Bell Research Paper

Ever wonder how the telephone came to be? It was probably one of the most useful inventions made in the 1870’s. Alexander Bell and Thomas Watson were the creators of this magnificent invention. Alexander had the idea of a device that would allow for the telegraph transmission of several messages set to different frequencies (“Alexander”). Thomas Watson worked on the harmonic telegraph and a voice transmitter device (“Alexander”). Without them, the world would not have made as many technological advances. Alexander Bell’s life, works, and legacy influenced on the world today. “Alexander Graham Bell was born in March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland” (“Alexander”). “Where he then studied and was educated at the University of London”(John Gordon). At age 16, he started working for his father with the deaf. He then later on, undertook his father’s London operations (“Alexander”).

Many obstacles were going their way, but they fought every single one of
