Alexander Graham Bell (/ˈɡreɪ.

əm/; March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922)[3] was a Scottish-born[N


2]
 inventor, scientist, and engineer who is credited with inventing and patenting the first
practical telephone. He also co-founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T)
in 1885.[6]
Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech
and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.[7] His research on
hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated
in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone, on March 7, 1876.[N 3] Bell considered his
invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.
