Communicating with the Future

If you mention Alexander Graham Bell, one word immediately comes to mind: telephone.

The invention of the telephone revolutionized the way we communicate with one another. But could even the great Alexander Graham Bell himself anticipate that someday you might well be reading this on the phone?

Alexander Graham Bell came from a distinguished family of educators who had dedicated themselves to helping the deaf. The recurring theme throughout Bell’s life was an attempt to open the world of sound to those who were hard of hearing. This included his wife. It also included his mother.

The life of Alexander Graham Bell is fascinating for what we don’t know. Had Alexander Graham Bell only invented the telephone, he would absolutely be worthy of respect for all time.
