Alexanders Life
Born and educated in Scotland, Bell moved to the United States where he studied ways of teaching hearing impaired people to speak. At the same time he would experiment with sending voices through electrical wires.
The Telephone Invention
The Telephone was a system that transmitted speech through an electrical wire so you could hear people from distances away. Typically its by voices. The first successful attempt happened in March 1876. The Telephone would convert sound into electronic signals suitable for transmission over long distances and replays such signals simultaneously in audible form for its users.
How it works
The sound waves that you create by speaking into a telephone's transmitter are turned into electrical signals that are carried along telephone wires and delivered into the telephone receiver of the person that you have telephoned. The telephone receiver of the person that is listening to you receives those electrical signals are uses them to recreate the sounds of your voice.
