Currently the communication between people more easily because the already existing telephone facilities are very helpful in everyday life. Then who the most deserving figure behind the invention of the telephone? He was Alexander Graham Bell who first discovered this communication tool. Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Bell came from families who place great importance on education. His father is a psychologist and elocution named Alexander Melville Bell, Alexander Bell, while his grandfather was a professor elucution. After completing his studies at the University of Edinburgh and University College in London, Bell decided to make into his father's assistant. He helps people who are hearingimpaired to learn to speak by the method has been applied by his father, namely by observing the position of the other person's lips and tongue. By the time he settled in London, Bell had learned about an experiment conducted by Ludwig Hermann von Helmholtz in the form of tuning forks and magnets that can produce a loud sound. Later in 1865, Bell studied more in depth about the sound coming out of his mouth when speaking. Bell increasingly interested in everything connected with the sounds, so he did not mind when it came to teach at Sarah Fuller, of Boston which is a special school of the deaf in 1870, besides Bell also worked as a tutor. And when he was appointed professor of psychology at Boston University in 1873, Bell held a special meeting for teachers who deal with students who have hearing disabilities. Bell spent nearly his entire life time to deal with the problem of education of hearingimpaired people who even then he founded the American Association to Promote the Theahing of Speech to the Deaf. Bell began to conduct research using phonatograph, multiple telegraph and electric speaking telegraph from 1873 to 1976 funded by the two fathers of the students. One of the funders is Gardiner Hubbard who has a daughter named Mabel deaf ears, this is the woman who later became Bell's wife.

In later Bell expressed his desire to create a communication tool with the transmission of electric waves. Bell also invites his friend Thomas Watson for helping provide equipment. His research is done by using a voice-controlled and magnets to deliver the sound to be transmitted, this event occurred on June 2, 1875. Finally created a work of Bell telephone receiver and transmitter that looks black in the form of a thin plate that is placed in front of the electromagnet. New on February 14, 1876 Bell patented his invention, but by the U.S. Patent Office this invention a new Bell officially patented on March 7 for "electric speaking telephone". Bell continues to update his findings and for the first time he managed to send a sentence reads "Watson, come here, I want you" on March 10, 1876.
