In 1894, Thomas Edison filmed sharpshooter Annie Oakley in his Black Maria studio. He was testing a new device called the kinetograph, an electrically powered camera capable of capturing motion.
As if getting a phone call wasn't terrifying enough!
"At the time, Edison envisioned the telephone as a business device only, with a permanently open line to parties at either end. [...] How would anyone know that the other party wanted to speak? Edison addressed the issue as follows: Friend David, I don't think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away. What do you think?"

....Attempts were made to stop the use of the word via various groups creating standards, even legislation. In the end, "hello" became the standard phone greeting, then became accepted in everyday language. Weird #Edison facts!
#ThomasEdison, whose birthday is today, invented or refined many things, including the phonograph, light bulb, motion pictures and even concrete. But did you know that #Edison also invented the word, "hello?" OK, the word already existed, but it was one of several variants used to shout to another person at a distance, such as "hoy hoy," "ahoy" and "hullo." When #Bell invented the telephone, people didn't know how to initiate a conversation. Bell himself suggested "ahoy" because after all...
#Edison filed the patent for his optical phonograph in 1888.
A phonograph, in its later forms also called a gramophone or since the 1940s called a record player, or more recently a turntable, is a device for the mechanical and analogue recording and reproduction of sound.
The #sound vibration waveforms are recorded as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of a rotating cylinder or disc, called a "record".
