If greatness lies in the contributions we make to the world, then Alexander Graham Bell is one of history's truly great men. The world that Bell was born into was far different from the one he left behind. Bell was born into a leisurely age of letter writing. As the inventor of the telephone, he ushered in a new age of telecommunications. Although born into an age of horsedrawn carriages, he helped create a world of airplanes and hover-crafts. Before Bell, deaf children were isolated in a world of their own. By teaching them to speak, he drew them closer into the human family. Almost one hundred years after his death, Bell remains a contemporary figure. His work in the fields of aviation, genetics, and geophysics helped shape the world as we know it. Bell not only foresaw the present age, he helped create it. His photophone was an ancestor of today's fiber optic technology. He foresaw the day when we would use solar panels to store energy and binary systems, today's computer, to process information. This multimedia CD, by Fitzgerald Studio, explores the life and times of Alexander Graham Bell. Over 1,000 historical photographs and 65,000 words of text, reveal Bell as teacher, inventor, and family man. Over 40 minutes of videotaped interviews with his friends and family depict the exciting times they all lived through. 3-D interactive models allow users to examine the HD-4 and Silver Dart from every angle. Beinn Bhreagh, Bell's summer home, is captured in interactive, 360 degree panoramic photographs. Through the use of a topic navigator, users can retrace the path of Bell's life, examining the milestones along the way. Children and adults alike will enjoy recreating his experiments. As his wife Mabel once said, Bell was not merely a man of the past. He was a man of the present and the future. These words still hold true today. Join us, as we explore the exciting world of Alexander Graham Bell. |
