Well after yesterdays blog about the wonderful work of UNICEF (check it out if you have not already) I thought we should go back to history today. With that in mind on this day in 1878 Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated the telephone for Britain's Queen Victoria.A pioneer in the field of telecommunications, Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He moved to Ontario, and then to the United States, settling in Boston, before beginning his career as an inventor. Throughout his life, Bell had been interested in the education of deaf people. This interest lead him to invent the microphone and, in 1876, his 'electrical speech machine,' which we now call a telephone. (taken from here).
