07 Marxh 1876 - ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL PATENTS THE TELEPHONE: Following 
the development of his prototype 'harmonic telegraph' device, Scotland-
born Alexander Graham Bell receives a US patent on a revolutionary new 
form of instantaneous communication, the telephone.

Alexander Graham Bell, best known for his invention of the telephone, 
revolutionized communication as we know it. His interest in sound 
technology was deep-rooted and personal, as both his wife and mother 
were deaf. While there’s some controversy over whether Bell was the 
true pioneer of the telephone, he secured exclusive rights to the 
technology and launched the Bell Telephone Company in 1877. Ultimately, 
the talented scientist held more than 18 patents for his inventions 
and work in communications.
