Why Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone
So why did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone? The answer may surprise you, I know it surprised me. He did it for his mother and his wife, so he developed the telephone to communicate with them and others that were deaf too.
Even though he invented the telephone, he considered it an intrusion on his real work as a scientist. He refused to have a telephone in his studio. Think ahead 145 years later and we have a panic attack if our phone isn t within our grasp. How many times have you driven back home to get your phone?
