Alexander Graham Bell Complete Bio & Career

His mother Eliza home schooled Alexander and implanted a never-ending novelty of the world around him. For one year he attended a private school and did two years of his schooling at the Edinburgh’s Royal High School in Scotland. He was an ordinary student but exhibited an unusual potential to solve problems.
 
At the age of 24 in the year 1871, Alexander relocated to Boston and started working on a device that would permit the telegraph communication of various messages set to different prevalence. Interested in his idea, Watson started assisting him in his passion. After sheer hard of 5 long years on 10th March 1876, Bell and Watson finally succeeded in their idea. Bell banged over a container of transferring fluid and screamed, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you!” Watson was able to hear Bell’s voice clearly through the wires and thus, that was the first telephone call ever made.
 
With this victory, Alexander Graham Bell started promoting his idea of installing Telephone in various public manifestations. Alexander formed his company called The Bell Telephone Company on 9th July 1877. For the next two decades, the Bell Company faced as many as 550+ court challenges and several among them even went to the Supreme Court, but none could succeed. After 10 years from the formation of his company, more than 150,000 people in the U.S. had installed telephones at their residence and workplace. Further advancement was made on his invention of the telephone and most significant among them was the addition of a microphone which was formulated by Thomas Elva Edison, which eventually abolished the need to scream into the telephone for the other person to hear it.
