Home›Invention›InventorBrowse ByInventorThis dimension credits the specific person who actually invented a technology. Wikipedia names "Alexander Graham Bell" as the first person "granted a United States patent" for the telephone in 1876, even though "this instrument was further developed by many others" afterward. Browsing by inventor gathers every invention credited to the same person.InventorConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)InventorFilter Results290 entriesBirth YearAll287 BCE (1)972 (1)1629 (1)1647 (1)1655 (1)1704 (1)1719 (1)1745 (1)1763 (1)1771 (1)1781 (1)1791 (1)1800 (1)1802 (1)1808 (1)1809 (1)1810 (1)1813 (1)1815 (2)1819 (1)1821 (1)1823 (1)1825 (1)1833 (1)1847 (2)1849 (1)1851 (1)1854 (1)1859 (1)1864 (1)1876 (1)1878 (1)1881 (1)1884 (1)1885 (1)1905 (1)1906 (1)1910 (1)1918 (2)1924 (1)1932 (1)1933 (1)1938 (1)1939 (1)1943 (1)1944 (1)1947 (1)1948 (1)1950 (1)1951 (1)1961 (1)1964 (1)Death YearAll212 BCE (1)1051 (1)1731 (1)1852 (1)1860 (1)1871 (1)1875 (1)1884 (1)1889 (1)1890 (2)1893 (1)1896 (1)1906 (1)1922 (1)1957 (1)1958 (1)1963 (2)1968 (1)2018 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareAbhay BhushanInventor1 entryAda LovelaceInventor1 entryAkira YoshinoInventor1 entryAl GrossInventor2 entriesAlan EmtageInventor1 entryAlessandro VoltaInventor1 entryAlexander BainInventor1 entryAlexander Graham BellInventor4 entriesAlexander MozhayskyInventor1 entryAlexander ParkesInventor1 entryAlexander PopovInventor1 entryAlfred NobelInventor1 entryAlois SenefelderInventor1 entryAlphonse Beau de RochasInventor1 entryAndrew MeikleInventor1 entryAnton FlettnerInventor1 entryAntonio MeucciInventor2 entriesArchimedesInventor3 entriesArthur C.
