Soon after the invention caught on, the tin foil was replaced by cylindrical cardboard coated in wax, and eventually vinyl which of course is still used today. The gramophone was invented in 1887 by a German immigrant named Emile Berliner, and while it was based on the same concept of Edisons phonograph, Berliners invention was the first to record sound and play it
However, he had earned over 1,093 U.S. patents (a government authority to sell an invention for a period of time), and simply took a step further with the borrowed ideas, making it possible for the invention to be a success. He had some ideas or inspiration from others, but he worked to make the invention possible. That could be the reason why Thomas Edison had said, “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”. Now, what inventions would make Thomas elligible for a spot on Mount Rushmore? Well, Thomas Edison had created several machines or inventions, but the ones that have contributed to us the most would most likely be the incandescent lightbulb and electric lighting system, the phonograph, the kinetoscope, and the alkaline battery.
Popular music began its entry into film scores after World War II. Until this time, most scores still characterized classical film scores with wall-to-wall music and a full orchestra. However, this slowly began to change. Before the 1940s, popular music was rejected due to the difficulty of applying it to the changing moods in films. However, with the growth of the New American Cinema Era, where this style of changing moods was replaced by a single, general mood, popular music became acceptable.
3). Throughout human history technology has helped in our evolution as a species from the invention of the wheel in pre-historic times, to the creation of the advanced computers we take for granted today. But as far as literacies are concerned we made a marvelous transition 5,000 years ago from pictorial marks to significant marks that began to capture sounds and ultimately led to the alphabetical system of writing we employ today. Furthermore, Gardner mentions Plato’s fear that written language would destabilize man’s capabilities to memorize, but based on how history transpired, Plato’s fears were proven to be but uncertainties on a matter that was novel to the society of that era which may be similar to the fear we have on “Googling.” History tends to repeat itself but only time well tell if it will yield similar results. The invention of the printing press during the 15th century was an enhancement in the production and convenience of books to the general populace.
Bell Laboratories invented the transistor. Edwin Land invented the Polaroid Land camera selling for $89.75. Holography, a technique that created three-dimensional images, was created by Dennis Gabor. In 1949 Physicist Harold Lyons built the first atomic clock which was accurate to within a few seconds over fifty years. In this same year cake mix was
The railroad industry was and still is very lucrative. Nowadays, the railroad system is embracing modern technology with the use of what is called as the Digital model railroad control system, which allows a decoder onboard the locomotive to provide control of speed and direction of motor (http://www.bachmann.co.uk/service/dcc0.php). However, the railroad system hasn't always been this way. In the 1800s, early railways were a far cry from the great system that we use today. The earliest railways in the United States were short, wooden railways built by quarries and mines (http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Railroads.aspx).
The hallucinations were often connected to some idea or word and they visualised an invention in its precize form even before it was constructed. Tesla studied electrical engineering on the polytechnic in Graz which he didnt finish, afterwards he worked in Budapest and later in Paris and gained a very good recomandation letter to work for Edisons company in New York where he eventually moved to work. Edison offered Tesla 50000d, that would be today ~1mil d due to inflation, if he redesigned and improved Edisons DC motors and generators. Although Tesla did major improvements, after he asked for his reward Edison told him that this offer was only a joke and gave him nothing. At this point Edisons and Teslas pathes divided and later Edison become Teslas major
Many people believe that Thomas Edison, an American inventor, created the lightbulb, but he simply just took Canada’s very own Henry Woodward’s idea, and brought it to life. The lightbulb has since then developed, and is everywhere. The lightbulb is perhaps the most important and worldwide dependent invention of all time. Along with the invention of the lightbulb came the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell lived in Brantford (Ontario), and is the inventor the first working telephone.
During the tenure of former CEO Steve jobs, Apple had extreme unprecedented success. Garnering an almost cult-like following with its innovations, Apple found itself in very unique position in that the products it manufactured were first to market, essentially creating a new market for competitors to challenge it in. While there where computers, phones and mp3 players from different companies none had the integration and usability across all it’s platforms like Apple did. This allowed it to sell one product to a consumer but guarantee this product would work with its other devices. Additional to this, it brought to market a phone that integrated various technologies.
In Response, the USA creates the Advanced Research Project Agency(ARPA). The goal was to become the world's most advanced nation by improving science and technology. The first step was to allow computers to communicate. To explore this, in 1965 the TX-2 computer was build by engineer Robert Elliot. With a low speed dial-up telephone line, in California they tested the TX-2.
