Nikola Tesla was born on 10 July 1856 in what is now Croatia, although he was a native of the neighbouring country of Serbia. His mother was very interested in machinery and was an amateur inventor herself, so she encouraged his interest in science and electricity. His father was a priest who wanted Tesla to follow in his footsteps. Tesla was interested in the transmission of electricity from a young age. He studied maths and physics at the Technical University of Graz, but he dropped out before…

The beginnings of music technology and consumption originated in the late 1800s with Thomas Edison’s ingenious phonograph. Over a course of seventy-five years, the phonograph has received many upgrades and has even become a basis for the recent music technology today (Price and Albright para. 5). Some of the newer music technological advances include vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs, portable MP3 players, and streaming services, which have all revolutionized music consumption because they have…

Determination and Pursuing Your Dreams Stephen Sondheim once quoted in one of his most famous plays, Into the Woods, “If you know what you want, then you go and you find it and you go and get it.” This is a quote that many people live by and represent in their daily lives. Three people that really stood out to as living determined lives are; Thomas Edison, Carrie Underwood, and my mom. All of these people had a goal that they were willing to work and make sacrifices for. Thomas Edison…

Piscine Patel, a young teen from India, has an unexpected journey with failure and accomplishment involved. Thomas Edison, a young inventor from the late 1800’s, went through many struggles and triumphs in his process of inventing the lightbulb. Piscine and Edison both followed a similar path that soon led to them both being successful. As they were working towards that goal, errors, mistakes, and trouble occurred. Trying hard enough should, in the end, led you to success. Thomas Edison and…

Nikola Tesla was an innovative intellectual of the Gilded Age whose ideas were far ahead of his time. The modern world would be nothing like it is today without Tesla’s insights. He revolutionized the scientific community and the world’s knowledge of electric current, but there were plenty of other interesting facets of his life and career. He was much more than an engineer, and unfortunately, many of his peers underestimated him on account of his quirkiness and battle with mental illness.…

modern day consumption and usage. Electrical engineering was first pioneered in the early 19th century, and great progress had been made by the time the 19th century came to a close. Most of the advancements were made by the likes of Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse; who all aided in making electricity what it is today. In 1878 Thomas Edison started out by working on a long lasting incandescent lamp, that overcame the problems that some of the earlier designs by other…

“We need to understand the universe, it’s virtually around us at all times.” - Nikola Tesla. The inventions that Nikola Tesla made were remarkable and changed the world in many ways across his lifetime. ("Nikola Tesla Biography.”) . The Alternating Current is the most recognizable of all his inventions, and is still widely used across the globe to this day. The Alternating Current can make electricity flow either direction, which is more useful than the Direct Current which flows in only 1…

The discovery of electricity and the invention of the lightbulb in the mid-19th century revolutionized the American society, politics, and culture. During the mid 19th century life was different: candles were the only source of light, transport was steam-powered, food was stored in ice boxes. However, within the next fifty years, electricity would change that. In 1878, Thomas Edison invented the incandescent lightbulb; in 1888, Frank Sprague’s electric trolley system became the first…

Honor is to regard with great or respect or to have high esteem for someone or something. My personal definition of honor is to be a productive member in society and to help out others around you. Thomas Edison In 1877 Thomas Edison invented the first phonograph. A phonograph is a sound reproducing that uses cylinders to record sound as well as reproduce sound. In 1879 Thomas Edison built the first commercially practical incandescent light bulb. Edison also introduced the world's first viable…

may be to blame for the cholera outbreak in India, a man is traveling there to resolve the issue. This testing lead to an effective vaccine protecting people even to today. Earlier in 1893 The State readers can read a recap of an exhibit held by Nikola Tesla. The exhibit was on the topic of alternating current. Tesla took 200,000 volts of electricity through himself during the show. He showed off different tricks playing around with electricity current. Tesla said he believed New York and…
