Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is a pioneer inthe field of telecommunications. In 1878, at the age of 29, Alexander Graham Bellinvented his telephone. His laboratory notebooks demonstrate, however that he wasdriven by a genuine and rare intellectual curiosity that kept him regularly searching,striving and wanting always to learn and to create. He also explore the realm ofcommunication as well as engage in a great variety of scientific activities involvingkites, airplanes, tetrahedral structures, sheep-breeding, artificial respiration, desalinationand water distillation and hydrolysis.

In the 1870s, he and Elisha Gray also an inventor, independently designed devices

that could transmit speech electrically. Both of them rushed their respective designs tothe patent office and Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone first.The telegraph and telephone are both wire-based electrical system, and Alexander Graham Bells success withthe telephone came as a direct result of his attempts to improve the telegraph. When Bell began experimentingwith electrical signals, the telegraph had been an established means of communication for some 30 years.However, the telegraph with its dot-and-dash morse code, was basically limited to receiving and sending onemessage at a time. Bells extensive knowledge of the nature of sound and his understanding of music enabledhim to come out with the idea of transmitting multiple messages over the same wire at the same time.

By June 1875, he and the other inventors had proven that different tones would vary the strength of anelectric current in a wire. To achieve this, they have to build a working transmitter with a membrane capableof varying electronic currents and a receiver that would reproduce these variations in audible frequencies. On 2June 1875, while he was experimenting his technique called harmonic telegraph, he discovered the hearsound over a wire. The sound was that of twanging clock spring. He described his successful experiment withtelephone on 10 March 1876.

Mr Nobody

I know a funny little man,As quiet as a mouse,

Who does the mischief that is done

In everybodys house!Theres no one ever sees his face,

And yet we all agree

That every plate we break was cracked

By Mr Nobody.

Tis he who always tears our books,

Who leaves the door ajar,He pulls the button from our shirts,

And scatters pin afar;

That squeaking door will always squeak,

For, prithee, dont you see,We leave the oiling to be done

By Mr Nobody.

He puts damp wood upon the fire,That kettles cannot boil;

His are the feet that bring in mud,

And all the carpets soil.The papers always are mislaid,

Who had them last but he?

Theres no one tosses them about

But Mr Nobody.

The finger marks upon the door

By none of us are made;We never leave the blinds unclosed,

To let the curtains fade;

The inkwe never spill, the boots

That lying round you seeAre not our boots they all belong

To Mr Nobody.

Tristan

I hate the way that I feel right now. Im not sure how to describe it but I thinks its a mixture of sad

and bad. How can that be? Well, I feel sad because Im leaving my old school and I feel bad becauseIm also leaving James.

James is my twin brother. Hes much smarter than me. He can do everything. He can dress himselfand walk and play football and write with a pen instead of a computer. I would be able to do thosethings too, if I didnt have a disability.

My mum wouldnt be pleased if she heard me saying disability. She says the word she wants

hear me say is ability. I dont know who invented the dis word, she says. Im not interested inwhat you cant do. Im only interested in what you can do.
