Thomas Edison was an American inventor born in 1847 in Ohio. Some of his most famous inventions include the phonograph, the first device that could both record and playback sound, which he invented in 1877. The phonograph worked by using a needle to cut grooves into a tin foil wrapped cylinder to record sound vibrations, which could then be played back. Edison was passionate about manipulating electricity and founded his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey in 1876 to focus on invention, promising to produce a minor invention every ten days and a major one every six months. Some of Edison's other famous inventions include the light bulb, motion pictures, and improvements to the telegraph.

Considered to be the first great Thomas Edison invention, and his life-long favorite, the
phonograph would record the spoken voice and play it back.
When speaking into the receiver, the sound vibration of the voice would cause a needle to
create indentations on a drum wrapped with tin foil. Later Edison would adopt cylinders and
Self-educated; some coursework discs to permanently record music.
The first recorded message was of Thomas Edison speaking “Mary had a little lamb”, which
at Cooper Union greatly delighted and surprised Edison and his staff when they first heard it played back to them.
