On this day in 1877, Thomas Edison announced a “startling marvel” — the phonograph. With a tin foil-wrapped cylinder and a stylus that etched vibrations into grooves, Edison captured sound for the first time. His test recording? “Mary had a little lamb.” That moment sparked a revolution, turning fleeting speech into something immortal — and laying the groundwork for everything from vinyl records to your favorite podcast.
So next time you flick on the radio or queue up a playlist for your drive, tip your hat to the Wizard of Menlo Park.
