On March 3, 1847, Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh. He was a Scotsman although he later emigrated, first to Canada and then to the USA in the 1870s.
In America, he worked with deaf-mutes at Boston University. Soon, Bell started experimeting with ways of transmitting speech over a long distance. This led to the invention of the telephone.
Bell and his assistant, Thomas Watson, conducted many experiments and finally came up with a device which they first introduced in 1876. Bell said on the phone: “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.” This is the first telephone message.
