The Phonograph Was Invented In 1877 By Thomas Edison

TIME WARP TUESDAY: The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. Other inventors had produced devices that could record sounds, but, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound. His phonograph originally recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet phonograph cylinder, and could both record and reproduce sounds.

Who remembers a phonograph in your parents' or grandparents' home growing up?
