Alexander Graham Bell is one of the most famous inventors in the world.
Born in Scotland in 1847, Bell became a knowledgeable person by learning continuously. After years of experimenting, in the year of 1876, he invented the telephone, which is widely used and has a great influence on our daily life today.
Although the invention of the telephone made Bell wealthy, he never stopped his research. He continued to work and invented a lot of other useful equipment. Moreover, he was also a successful teacher of the deaf.
In 1992, Bell died in Canada. However, his attitude towards science and his love for the deaf still inspire us today.
