Alexander Graham Bell, the establisher of the Bell Telephone Company and the inventor of the telephone, is also the establisher of AT&T. Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was educated at the Royal High School. The story of AT&T’s invention is not only about Graham Bell but is also strongly linked to his brothers, Melville and Edward. During a trip to london, Alex Graham Bell was fascinated by a demonstration of Sir Charles Wheatstone's "speaking machine", a mechanical contraption that made human like noises. Upon returning to Edinburgh, their father challenged Alex and his older brother to come up with a machine of their own. After some hard work and scrounging bits from around the place, they built a machine with a mouth, throat, nose, movable tongue, and bellow for lungs, and it worked. It made human-like sounds. At the age of 16, Alex spent his time teaching music and elocution at a boy's boarding school. He was still inspired by trying to help those with speech problems by improving their quality of life.
