  • Fax Machine (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Fax Machine (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY Fax (short for facsimile), sometimes called telecopying or telefax, is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material (both text and images), normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device. The original document is scanned with a fax machine (or a telecopier), which processes the contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap (a kind of digital image file), and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones. The receiving fax machine interprets the tones and reconstructs the image, printing a paper copy. Early systems used direct conversions of image darkness to audio tone in a continuous or analog manner. Since the 1980s, most machines modulate the transmitted audio frequencies using a digital representation of the page which is compressed to quickly transmit areas which are all-white or all-black. HISTORY Scottish inventor Alexander Bain worked on chemical mechanical fax type devices and in 1846 was able to reproduce graphic signs in laboratory experiments. He received British patent 9745 on May 27, 1843 for his "Electric Printing Telegraph." Frederick Bakewell made several improvements on Bain's design and demonstrated a telefax machine. The Pantelegraph was invented by the Italian physicist Giovanni Caselli. He introduced the first commercial telefax service between Paris and Lyon in 1865, some 11 years before the invention of the telephone. In 1880, English inventor Shelford Bidwell constructed the scanning phototelegraph that was the first telefax machine to scan any two-dimensional original, not requiring manual plotting or drawing.

  • Battle of the Brains: Election-Night Forecasting at the Dawn of the Computer Age
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: BATTLE OF THE BRAINS: ELECTION-NIGHT FORECASTING AT THE DAWN OF THE COMPUTER AGE Ira Chinoy, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Emeritus Maurine Beasley Philip Merrill College of Journalism This dissertation examines journalists’ early encounters with computers as tools for news reporting, focusing on election-night forecasting in 1952. Although election night 1952 is frequently mentioned in histories of computing and journalism as a quirky but seminal episode, it has received little scholarly attention. This dissertation asks how and why election night and the nascent field of television news became points of entry for computers in news reporting. The dissertation argues that although computers were employed as pathbreaking “electronic brains” on election night 1952, they were used in ways consistent with a long tradition of election-night reporting. As central events in American culture, election nights had long served to showcase both news reporting and new technology, whether with 19th-century devices for displaying returns to waiting crowds or with 20th-century experiments in delivering news by radio. In 1952, key players – television news broadcasters, computer manufacturers, and critics – showed varied reactions to employing computers for election coverage. But this computer use in 1952 did not represent wholesale change. While live use of the new technology was a risk taken by broadcasters and computer makers in a quest for attention, the underlying methodology of forecasting from early returns did not represent a sharp break with pre-computer approaches. And while computers were touted in advance as key features of election-night broadcasts, the “electronic brains” did not replace “human brains” as primary sources of analysis on election night in 1952.

  • Alexander Graham Bell
    Meet the Kite Maker Alexander Graham Bell Most people know Alexander Graham Bell solely as the father of the telephone, an invention he patented in 1876 as a young man of only twenty-nine. Few are aware of Bell’s many other inventions. Although he kept meticulous records in his research notebooks, Bell had earned so much money from his telephone patent—the single most valuable patent ever awarded—that he had no need to pursue commercial applications. Among Bell’s inventions were the graphophone (which became the first practical phonograph) and the flat record, the audiometer (to measure hearing), the metal detector, the respirator (“vacuum jacket” or “iron lung”), and the hydrofoil. He also created the telautograph (a rudimentary fax machine) and the photophone, a device to transmit the human voice via light waves, an idea that led, eventually, to fiber optics. Bell took the first X-rays in Canada, and was first to use the phrase “greenhouse effect” to describe global warming. Bell was also a social and community activist. He worked on behalf of the deaf all his life (he introduced Helen Keller to her teacher, Annie Sullivan), and conducted experiments in genetics for thirty years. He championed civil rights, women’s suffrage, and Montessori education. He co-founded the National Geographic Society with his father-in-law, and was instrumental in establishing the Smithsonian Institution. Perhaps all these inventions and activities might be enough for one man—who was also a devoted husband, busy father, and active grandfather. But no! Bell also played an important role in the early history of aviation.
