Back in 1877 on this day Thomas A. Edison announced the invention of his phonograph (An type of record player). Edison was an American inventor, scientist, and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the aforementioned phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb.Just imagine what the world would be like if we didn't have some way of playing music in our homes. Although many people no longer have a turntable in their home (I do) and some of you might never have seen a vinyl record, this invention was an amazing leap forward in home entertainment and all the DJ's around the world owe Thomas a little something.
