CLICK HERE! To send us a message! Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think! “No words can increase the glory of the immortal Washington” is the kind of line that can turn a founder into a statue.

Recorded sound is so normal now that we barely notice it, but the first time people heard a phonograph it felt impossible.

We talk about Edison’s instincts for showmanship and why ...
