      The Machine Is a Predessor of The Record Player, and the Walkmen, or the CD Drive, or even the I-Pod, and even MP3's. Thanks In part to the introduction of the Phonograph in 1877 Sound In Motion Pitchures Telivison,and Music itself. Though futher more the Phonograph Revolutonized Product Placement and Music Itself It also helped contribute to the birth of Movies. After the machine was introduced in 1877 the product was originally to expensive for the regular consumer though 10 years into the introduction of the product it was by 1888 that a larger scale of American's had owned this device.
