On December 4 1877, the phonograph was invented. This machine allowed people to listen to phonograph records. How do you think listening to these records was different than listening to today’s CDs or mp3s? What may be the advantages and disadvantages of each type of machine?

I think that the phonograph was a great invention because it was the device that people starting listening music from it. The advatage of the phonograph is that the cds that you had would never get scratched or damaged. Only if you were to damage them yourself. Also you didnt had to worry about any battery running out or cds getting damaged. I thimk that their pretty cool. The disadvantage of these machines are that you had to buy some gigantic cds that were bigger than someones head. Also the music comming ut of here sounded crappy. There was no bass or treble for a clearer sound. Also the records would sometimes play only one song. You cant burn cds like now and days. But i think that the phonograph is pretty cool.
