1. CUPS
2.Freeze and we come in INTRO
3.Tetrad - retrieve and enhance
4.end off with "that was how it started out "
SCENE 1 : CUPS ! (1-2 min)
(WE NEED PROPS HERE :
HERE WE NEED CUPS AND STRING ATTACHED OK?!
Here I am trying to illustrate with the cups how this primitive method of communication is very ineffective, therefore there needs to be a better way. This way of presenting will give a flow , leading the audience to the tetrad - retrieve and enhance: about what’s before the invention of the phonograph.)
The Weasley twins were trying to communicate from one room to another. This was how they did it.
Twin 1: Hello hello? Can you hear me?
Twin 2: (Twin 2 cant hear clearly) WwwwHat? Hello? Can you repeat that again?
Twin1: Hello Hello? HEEELLLLOOO?
Twin 2: (finally able to hear his twin brother) Oh HELLO!
Twin 1: finally(heave sigh of relief)
so have you got the stinkbombs ready? Professor Umbridge is gonna walk by
this corridor anytime soon. I can see her approaching through the
Maudaurer’s map!
Twin 2: WwwwHAT? Professor Umbridge is taking a nap??!
Twin 1: YOU ARE TAKING A NAP! YOU HAVEN’T GOT THE
STINKBOMBS!!!
Twin 2: WwwwHAT?! I AM NOT TAKING A NAP! You told me Professor
Umbridge is taking a nap! Didn’t you?
Twin 1: I never ever said that I told you I spotted her heading our way via
the…….BLIMEYYYY!
(PROFESSOR UMBRIDGE APPROACHES AND SIEZES THE TWINS BY THEIR CUFFS…LOOKING VERY ANGRY)
Twin 1 and Twin 2: THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY TO COMMUNICATE!!!!
----------------------FREEZE------------------
INTRO by _______ (30seconds)
Good Morning everyone. I am ______ and here is _______ and we are the narrators of this presentation by CD4E group? .
Like that of the demonstration of communication between the twins, the british inventor, William Sturgeon exhibited a device in 1825 testting communication over long distances and in 1830, an american, Joseph henry executed its potential by the same way. Instead of string, a mile of wire was used to send an electronic current to activate an electromagnet which caused a bell to strike. With this, the electric telegraph was born with Samuel F.B.Morse as its inventor..
From the slide you are able to see an illustration of the magnetized magnet in operation (SHOULD WE PLACE A SLIDE WITH THE PIC BELOW ON IT???OR LEAVE IT OUT ALSO CAN???)
With that demonstration, it proved that signals could be transmitted by wire.
This progessed to the invention of Morse Code.
Morse Code is a method for transmitting telegraph wherBY information by pulses of current used to deflect an electromagnet, moved a marker to produce standardized sequences of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given message on a strip of paper.
---------DEMO OF MORSE CODE ------------(1 min)
(people should stand by as narrator reads
person 1: one holding “DAH”
person 2: one holding “DIT”
person 3: one holding “DI”
person 4: the one pretending to be the person speaking the morse code)
NARRATOR: Morse code is often spoken or written with "dah" for dashes, "dit" for dots located at the end of a character, and "di" for dots located at the beginning or internally within the character. Thus, the following Morse code sequence:
M O R S E (space) C O D E
-- --- ·-· ··· · (space) -·-· --- -·· ·
is verbally:
PERSON 4: Dah-dah dah-dah-dah di-dah-dit di-di-dit dit, Dah-di-dah-dit dah-dah-dah dah-di-dit dit.
(DON’T SAY SO FAST IF NOT THE DAH DIT AND DI CANNOT CATCH UP!!! )
(NEED TO PREPARE PROPS FOR THIS:
PRINT EACH MORSE CODE SYMBOL ON A4 SO THAT IT IS VISIBLE TO AUDIENCE AS THE ACTOR SAYS DAH-DAH-DAH-DI-DAH-DIT DIT…… YOU GET WAD I MEAN?
Person 1,2 and 3 will stand in a straight line facing audience, holding “DAH” DIT” “DI” in their hands over their chests.
As Person 4 says “DAH”, Person 1 will hold it up and put it down again and as he moves on to say “DI” Person 3 will get ready to raise it… and so on and so forth….
GET WAD I MEAN ANOT !!!! u all think good idea?! FEEDBACK AND CHANGES CAN BE MADE ONE OKAY OKAY OKAY!!! )
Narrator : (30 seconds )
Modifications wer emade to the device from
1.moving a marker to produce written codes on a strip of paper to …
2.embossing the paper copy with dots and dashes which were translated later by an operator.
3. in the United States the operation developed into sending by key and receiving by ear. A trained Morse operator could transmit 40 to 50 words per minute which progressed to …
4. Automatic transmission, introduced in 1914, handled more than twice that number
5. Teleprinter machines came into use about 1925 which enabled a single wire to carry 72 transmissions at the same time (36 in each direction).
6.Two years later Western Union introduced the automatic facsimile device which enables subscribers to the teleprinter service to dial each other directly.
Narrator : (1 min ) ( THIS PART ABIT DRY ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IS IT OKAY )
Until 1877, all rapid long-distance communication depended upon the telegraph. That year, a rival technology developed -the telephone.
being able to "talk with electricity" far outweighed anything that simply increasing the capability of a dot-and-dash system could imply.
The fall of telegraph resulted in its limit to receiving and sending one message at a time which was far too slow. Hence, it lead to Alexander Graham Bell's success with the telephone came as a direct result of his attempts to “ENHANCE!” the telegraph. The telephone was able to transmit multiple messages over the same wire at the same time, and not only that, it was able to transmit speech electrically!
To enhance communication, another brilliant guy Edison, wondered if he was able to record a telephone message.
He began experimenting with the diaphragm of a telephone receiver by attaching a needle to it. He reasoned that the needle could prick paper tape to record a message. His experiments led him to try a stylus on a tinfoil cylinder, which, to his great surprise, played back the short message he recorded, "Mary had a little lamb."
And this lead to the invention of the phonograph.
----------PROCEED TO ELLE’s -----------
(notes to miss tai tai for writing scenes 2 and 3)
“The phonograph was developed as a result of Thomas Edison's work on two other inventions, the telegraph as mentioned earlier on by _________
”
Edison gave a sketch of the machine to his mechanic, John Kruesi, to build, which Kruesi supposedly did within 30 hours. Edison immediately tested the machine by speaking the nursery rhyme into the mouthpiece, "Mary had a little lamb." To his amazement, the machine played his words back to him.
Edison offered the following possible future uses for the phonograph in North American Review in June 1878:
Letter writing and all kinds of dictation without the aid of a stenographer.
Phonographic books, which will speak to blind people without effort on their part.
The teaching of elocution.
Reproduction of music.
The "Family Record"--a registry of sayings, reminiscences, etc., by members of
Elle says: (2:29:50 PM)
ok, the reverse. if there is a cut in electrical supply, then phonograph would be of no use
a family in their own voices, and of the last words of dying persons.
Music-boxes and toys.
Clocks that should announce in articulate speech the time for going home, going to meals, etc.
The preservation of languages by exact reproduction of the manner of pronouncing.
Educational purposes; such as preserving the explanantions made by a teacher, so that the pupil can refer to them at any moment, an
auxiliary in the transmission of permanent and invaluable records, instead of being the recipient of momentary and fleeting communication.
As a novelty, the machine was an instant success, but was difficult to operate except by experts, and the tin foil would last for only a few playings.
