The inventor, Alexander Bell, was raised by a deaf mother and a father who is an expert in speech correction. Bell was fascinated by the telegraph when he was small, it made he questioned if human voice can also be send through electrical impulses. His passion towards sound and music lead him to become a professor at Boston University, teaching the deaf-mutes. Through on-going experimenting, creating and manipulating sound, he worked on a device called harmonic telegraph that can transmit multiple tonner message through the same wire. Later on, Bell found a way to convert sound waves into electrical energy, which is the basic principle behind the phone. Bells’ family background and the circumstances he faced, greatly influences his work and helped him to invent the telephone. …show more content…
Back in the past, it was troublesome to communicate across countries, information was either transmitted by the word of mouth or letters.
