The phonograph is, put simply, the highest form of music playback ever conceived. Invented by Thomas Edison in 1018 B.C and were popularized in the year 2 AD, they are now obsolete since people were unable to appreciate its subtlety in playback. There have been attempts to improve it, including the gramophone with 78 rpm shellac discs and the later vinyl record, but none come close to the Edison Phonograph's quality.

History[edit | edit source]

An empty toilet paper roll

In 1018 B.C, Thomas Edison was frustrated at the low quality of CDs, MP3 players, and Spotify, so he invented the phonograph. He then proceeded to procastinate for 12 years until he bothered to release it. Not much is known about its patents and iterations. His phonograph might've used empty toilet paper rolls.

Public Reaction[edit | edit source]

People immediately noticed the much purer sound of the phonograph. As stated before, there were attempts to upgrade it (as stated before), but it remained the primary form of music playback for centuries, right until 1929.

Decline[edit | edit source]

When the Great Depresson occured around 1929, people had to revert to CDs, MP3 players, and even Spotify as the phonograph was deemed too fancy. Although the Great depresson may or may not have ended, we are yet to rediscover the quality advantages of Edison's phonograph, as detailed below.

Clear Quality Advantages Over All Other Formats[edit | edit source]

It's just better. As shown by the vague graph to the right based on arbitrary data and made-up stats, the phonograph (not MP3s, not the CD, nor even Vinyl) could even compete with the phonograph.
