Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Interestingly, he wasn't doing it to "invent the telephone", he was more interested in providing his hearing impaired wife with a way to hear thing better. His famous words "Watson come here I need you!" were the first words spoken over the telephone and he didn't even know it worked until Watson came in and told him. Bell had spilled some acid on himself and needed his assistance, thus the call for help. In a way, the first "telephone call" was an emergency call!

A pioneer in the field of telecommunications, Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He moved to Ontario, and then to the United States, settling in Boston, before beginning his career as an inventor. Throughout his life, Bell had been interested in the education of deaf people. This interest lead him to invent the microphone and, in 1876, his "electrical speech machine," which we now call a telephone. News of his invention quickly spread throughout the country, even throughout Europe. By 1878, Bell had set up the first telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut. By 1884, long distance connections were made between Boston, Massachusetts and New York City.
