Alexander Graham Bell
From the Series On My Own Biography
Growing up, Alexander Graham Bell was fascinated with music, speech, and sounds. He worked hard to invent things that would not only help those with impaired hearing, but also bring people together in new and special ways. What he didn’t know was that his simple idea—to help people communicate—would change the world when he invented the telephone.
