Analysis Of The Phonograph And Its Future By Thomas Edison

I gained a new perceptive during class, when reading “George Saunders Explains How to Tell a Good Story”. The reading of this article help me understood how to use more details to makes my story’s more meaningful. The reading of this article help me build up my paper on “No such Things” to use details to descipbe a story. Through the reading of the article, it help me to use experience through my life to build on my topic “…memory is an unreliable traveling companion through the years”. The reading of the article help me to create a meaningful story to blend it in with experience in my life and also to blending in with the topic of my paper.

Initially, Technology has always plagued our society and had a strong relentless grip on our individual preferences. It only shows that which is tailored made to suit an individual. In Williams

A very popular consumer item was the phonograph. It was first invented in 1877 but it was so expensive it took a while for the homes in america to get ahold of it , by the time of the 1920’s 7 million homes had their hands on one but they were still pretty expensive. The phonograph was a music recorder and to the people of america it was important because that's where most of their music came from either that other radio. It was referred to by many names like “talking machine” or “music machines” or its proper word “phonograph”. The most popular phonograph was called the “victor victrola”. Its inventors were Thomas Edison, Emile Berliner,Eldridge R. Johnson. The newer version of the phonograph that was produced in the 1920’s didn’t have

Despite the Phonograph and the Gramophone’s success, the invention of the radio in 1906 was a threat to the recording industry. The major record companies had a hard time keeping their own sales up due to the radio, but the later invention of the LPs and 45 rpm records made the sales rocket. By the 60s and 70s, the records had taken America by storm.

This is Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison is a famous inventor who invented lots of things that we use today. He was born a very long time ago in the United States of America.

After reading"The Incredible Talking Machine","History Of The Cylinder Phonograph", and"Psst...Hey, You", it becomes evident that the phonograph and Audio Spotlight are similar.Both products were built,refined,and marketed.As a result,they became widely used and evolved into products we still use today.

In Walter Van Tilburg Clark’s “The Portable Phonograph,” the author makes setting play a major role in understanding the action of the characters within the story. Clark, a writer and an English Professor, lived from 1909 to 1971. During that time, he lived through both World Wars at a relatively young age, which may have influenced this story. Clark has excellent use of setting to make the atmosphere needed and set the proper mood, so this story is credible. To accomplish this, Clark orients the reader to a unique place and time by use of the physical setting and human possessions, and uses symbolism to create a mood that gives the reader insight to how the characters must feel in

Carr makes the point that throughout time people have always questioned new technology. Socrates was doubtful of the development of writing, because he feared it would make people forgetful and ignorant (Carr 394), but now that we look at how drastically the invention of writing changed the world, it seems necessary to life. Nowadays people even look down on those who cannot write and consider them at a disadvantage. A similar controversy arose when Gutenberg invented the printing press. Some people worried that it would make society lazy and less studious (Carr 395). Life in the twenty first century seems unimaginable without books, magazines, newspapers; the population of people who do not use these tools on a daily basis is minuscule. Carr

People were able to purchase records that could be played on a phonograph, but not every household was able to own one. Today, music is primarily bought on electronic devices. People have much easier access to music; they can instantly download and listen to music within minutes. In contrast, in the 1890s, people would have to leave their home and buy music in a store, and return home to listen to it.

Yet and still, technology has given us many advances over the years. From the typewriter to the printing press, technological advances have made life easier and convenient. We might not see the benefit in the present moment, but eventually it’ll all become clear. For example, objectors of Gutenberg’s 15th century printing press argued that the easily accessibility

The process of refining and marketing the phonograph is similar to the development of the Audio Spotlight. The articles “The Incredible Talking Machine”, “History of the Cylinder Phonograph” and “Psst . . . Hey, You.” discuss these topics. All inventions discussed in the articles were creations of active imaginations, development of workable models, and the push to perfect the model.

These two facets provide individuals with an opportunity to appreciate the selected artifact. In the article, A Telephone Map of the United States Shows Where You Could Call Using Ma Bell in 1910, the conversation from readers becomes a lesson in itself as people share information between each other. When given finite amounts of information at a time, people are able to comprehend the point clearly and are able to start a conversation. This exchange of knowledge forms a relationship between digital history and the public. The discussions taking place promote digital history by expanding the niche for others in the field, and that space in history promotes

I decided to do my report on Thomas Alva Edison because he brought a lot of things into our world. He invented the light bulb, the alkaline battery, the phonograph, and many other things. Many of our modern electronics origins came from Thomas A. Edison. I thought he was very interesting. That is why I chose him.

No matter who a person thinks invented the motion picture camera, whether it was Louis Lumiere or Thomas Edison, I'm sure they had no idea what it would become at the turn of the century. Motion pictures, has become an entertainment medium like no other. From Fred Ott's Sneeze to Psycho to Being John Malkovich, the evolution from moving pictures to a pure art form has been quite amazing. Different steps in filming techniques define eras in one of the most amazing ideas that was ever composed. Silent to Sound. Short to long. Black and white to color. Analog to Digital. All were important marks in the History of Motion Pictures. "It's different than other arts. It had to be invented"

Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847 and was a scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who invented the first telephone. In his later life, Bell did outstanding work in designing optical Telecommunications. Bell also contributed to other inventions as well, he designed a precursor to modern day air conditioning, he also contributed to aviation technology, and his last patent, at the age of 75, was for the fastest hydrofoil yet invented.
