Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) was the inventor of the first successfully mass-marketed two-way electronic audio-telecommunications system, known as the telephone. Although he is also often credited as the inventor of the telephone per se, this honour is owed to the Godless German socialist Phillip Reis, who naturally failed to profit from his fortuitous discovery and is today little known outside Socialist Europe. Born in Auchenshoogle, Scotland, Bell invented the telephone in 1875 after he emigrated to the United States. He was attempting to invent a device to help the deaf.
The first sentence spoken over the telephone was by Bell to his assistant Watson: "Watson, come here; I want you."
Bell founded American Bell in 1875 to develop and market his invention, which founded American Telephone & Telegraph as a subsidiary in 1885. AT&T, as it is now called, has undergone many changes since then but is still profitable today.
