English 3, Post 7, "Tell us about an expert/person in your field that you admire."

In the area of ​​food engineering, i really feel that i don't know much to admire someone. But considering that for the next semester i can be in the career of sound engineering, i prefer to talk about this topic if i may. 

This time im going to talk about Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, a French printer born in 1817 and the inventor of the first device capable of recording sound, the phonoautograph, dating from the year 1857. A device capable of transcribing sound to a visible medium. Basically by means of a system that had a horn that collected the waves and through a trace graph the sound. The only problem is that the sound could not be played again. And the interesting thing is that the inventor was not really interested in reproducing the sound again. He just wanted to analyze the traces left by the sound. Maybe he did not realize what he had in his hands and how this would initiate a change in the future of communications. A few years later, Thomas Edison would go a few steps further and would be able to advance in this project by giving light to the phonograph, an artifact capable of recording and reproducing sound. 

Martinville never had monetary success of his invention and was relegated to being a bookseller until his death in 1879. Maybe this man's work doesn't seem like much, but thanks to his curiosity, he started a series of works that would evolve until the audio reproduction that we have today in practically everything.
