Before Technology
If you wanted to hear the beautiful music, back in the days, you had to go see a live preformance in a hall or auditorium or get someone to preform or play for you. Those days were harsh. -
Gramophone
Also known as the Phonograph in the earlier days before the phone this invention was used to record sounds and later on developed into the telephone. And then into the gramohpone in 1892 which played records which are round objects that play music, and made millions of dollars (as the economy was different back then) and continued to sell (record dics and gramophones) until th 1920s when the radio came out and shortly followed by the record player. -
The Radio
The radio is one of the most successfull inventions of all time, it started from the gramophone and the telephone, so one day Oliver Lodge and Alexander Muirhead carried out Thomas Eddisons experiments, as he had attempted to create the radio after the gramophone and telephone, and the two proffessers successfully created the invention that is still used today that we call the radio. -
The Record Player
The record player is an upgrade from the gramophone that was so much easier to work, because it didnt have the big megaphone attached to it and you could just hook it up to your speakers and it was all set to go. It still uses the same technology as the gramophone including the needle and records but it was the next great thing. -
