THE FIRST WORDS
Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.
Scottish-born scientist Alexander Graham Bell said these words to his assistant, Thomas Watson, on March 10, 1876, in Boston, Massachusetts. Bell and Watson were in different rooms at the time. Bell wanted Watson to help him because he had spilled something on his clothes.
Watson ran to Bell to tell him the good news. Watson had heard Bell’s voice through their new machine. Bell’s words were the first ever heard through a telephone.
