Summary:
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell uttered the words that would
inaugurate a new era in human communication: 'Mr. Watson, come here,
I want to see you'. Bell was speaking through his new invention: the
telephone. Though his name is the first to be associated with this
now ubiquitous device, Bell was not working in a vacuum or entirely
on his own. The second half of the 19th century was a time of great
innovation, during which many people were experimenting with various
designs for machines to enable human communication over great
distances. Bell was simply the first to win a patent. "Alexander
Graham Bell and the Telephone" tells the story of the man who
invented the telephone, the people who helped him, and the changes
that came about because of one of the greatest inventions of all
time.
