History of Computers - Speakers

Introduction

Speakers are basic audio output devices that receive electrical signals and translate them into vibrations, producing audio.

Overview

The first electronic speaker was installed by Johann Phillipe Reis in 1861, which he attached to his telephone. After a few new versions, he was capable of reproducing sounds. Since then, speakers have come a long way. Now, speakers can be very small or very large.

Significance

Speakers are very important to the history of computers because without speakers, it would be impossible to listen to music at home without having the band go to your house and play the music.
