You may use the telephone every day but how much do you know about it? The telephone was
invented by Alexander Bell in 1876. Bell was born in Scotland in 1847. But later he went to live in the
USA.
Bell was always interested in sound. He wanted to be able to send sound through a wire. He had a
workshop in his house in America and did many experiences there.
One day, he was doing an experiment in his workshop. He was careless and spilt some burning
liquid onto his clothes. Talking into his telephone, Bell said, ‘Mr. Watson, I want you to come over here
immediately please.’ His assistant was in another room far away from the workshop. However, he heard
Bell clearly on his own telephone. Quickly, he ran to Bell’s workshop. ‘Mr. Bell, I heard every word you
said!’ Watson shouted excitedly.
Bell succeeded. He invented the first telephone. Later, other inventors made better ones.
