BELL, Alexander Graham (1847--1922), Scottish-born American scientist, inventor, and teacher of the deaf, whose development of the telephone and contributions to other inventions in aeronautics had profound effects on the shaping of modern society.
Bell was born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh and educated at the universities of Edinburgh and London.
In addition, Bell was one of the cofounders of the National Geographic Society and he served as its president from 1896 to 1904.

 Bell Family Papers: Alexander Graham Bell as Inventor and Scientist
Bell regarded the photophone as "the greatest invention I have ever made; greater than the telephone." Bell's invention reveals the principle upon which today's laser and fiber optic communication systems are founded, though it would take the development of several modern technologies to realize it fully.
Bell was also willing to attempt inventing under the pressure of daily events, and in 1881 he hastily constructed an electromagnetic device called an induction balance to try and locate a bullet lodged in President Garfield after an assassin had shot him.
Bell spent the last decade of his life improving hydrofoil designs, and in 1919 he and Casey Baldwin built a hydrofoil that set a world water-speed record that was not broken until 1963.

Bell was born into a family specialising in elocution: both his father and his grandfather were authorities on the subject, and before long he himself was teaching people how to speak.
In 1864 Bell became a resident master in Elgin's Weston House Academy in Scotland, where he conducted his first studies in sound and first conceived the idea of transmitting speech with electricity.
On 6 April 1875, however, it was Bell who was granted the patent for his multiple telegraph, and he also continued work on his telephone.

 Alexander Graham Bell | Inventor
On March 7, 1876, the U.S. Patent Office granted Bell a patent for a communication device for "transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically." However, on September 25, 2001, the United States Congress officially recognized Antonio Meucci as the inventor of the telephone, denying Bell's claim to its invention.
Bell reasoned that it would be possible to pick up and transmit the sound of the human voice using an adaptation of his "harmonic telegraph." In 1875, along with his assistant Thomas A. Watson, Bell constructed instruments that transmitted recognizable voice-like sounds.
Bell was granted 18 patents in his name, and 12 he shared with collaborators.
