Emile Berliner: The Invention Of The Gramophone
Although the gramophone is sometimes perceived as a minor stepping stone in the evolution of music playing devices, the gramophone was, in all reality, a very important milestone in the evolution of music. The gramophone improved on the sound quality and play time of Edison's phonograph, while the use of disks gave other inventors a starting point to improve upon and evolve the design of playing and recording machines. Although it wasn’t the very first recording and music playing device, it was the first that was popularized and adopted into worldwide culture and is responsible for modern day music recording and listening methods.
Emile Berliner, the inventor of the gramophone, was born in 1851 in Germany. He started working and inventing at a young age, getting his first job at 14 years old. He migrated into America in 1870 at the age of 29 in hopes to avoid enlistment into the Prussian Army. Seven years after moving to America, he invented a …show more content…
After the gramophone came the record player. The record player changed the model and the disk type slightly. The LP or Long Playing record that evolved from the disks created by Berliner were invented by Peter Carl Goldmark in 1948. After the creation of the LP record and the Record Player, inventors worked to create a more portable device that allowed people to listen to music on the go. After countless stepping stone inventions, inventors finally came up with the Compact Disk, or CD and the CD player in 1988. After the CD and CD player were invented, the further need for a more portable music playing device pushed scientists to create the MP3 player, which was first introduced in Japan in 1997 and then in the United States just a year later. The music playing device is now involved in almost every piece of modern day technology from phones to computers and
