Music at the Turn of the Century While walking around the Stephenville Historical Museum there were two things in particular that caught my eye. They were both record players that dated back to the early 1900s, and one was even said to be from 1905.The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison, patented in 1878, and comes from the Greek word meaning sound and is literally translated to phone. Also, instead of vinyls like we know today, cylindrical tin foil was used to make the disk that would produce sound. When lines and grooves were cut or etched onto the disk, a needle would trace over the lines and the vibration from this process created sound. 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.

In the next thirty-nine years they move from the first silent narrative film to the classical Hollywood style. Nevertheless one aspect of film making still remains the same; all films are based around a plot or narrative idea. Classical Hollywood style shows us how these major movie studios can now bring their films to life with sound, camera angle and what was called “point of view shots”. New forms of lighting (three-point lighting, high-key/low-key lighting and star lighting) and editing made it possible for filmmakers to make feature-length films.
In what ways does a comparative study accentuate the distinctive contexts of Frankenstein and Blade Runner? The values and morals of society have dramatically changed throughout the course of history, so too has the knowledge of science, its teachings and influences on the world. As new technologies have been under further experimentation into the production of man-made life forms, the debate between science and religion has continued.
