A Marvel of Modern Science: Electric Speech
First of April 1903 - Staff Correspondent: Livingstone Cooper, New York, NY
The world of communication has been revolutionized by a remarkable invention: the wireless telephone. This device, which allows people to talk to each other without any wires or cables, is the brainchild of Dr. Samuel P. Sung, a fairly famous inventor and electrical engineer. He presented several speeches to packed audiences at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair nearly one decade ago.
Dr. Sung has been working on the wireless telephone for several years and has recently completed the first working prototype. The prototype, which he calls a “Samsung Phone”, is about the size of a small mule and weighs over 300 pounds. It consists of a large battery, a transmitter, a receiver, and a detachable horn-shaped speaker. The device can send and receive signals over a distance of several miles, using electromagnetic waves.
Dr. Sung demonstrated his invention to a select group of reporters and scientists at his laboratory in New York City. He showed how he could talk to an assistant, who was stationed at another location with a similar device. He also played music and transmitted Morse code messages through the wireless telephone.
The wireless telephone is expected to have many applications in the future, such as military, commercial, and personal use. Dr. Sung hopes to improve his invention by making it smaller, cheaper, and more reliable. He also plans to develop a global network of wireless stations that can connect people across continents and oceans.
Dr. Sung is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant and visionary inventors of our time. He has made many contributions to the fields of electricity, magnetism, radio, and wireless technology. He is also known for his rivalry with Thomas Edison, another prominent inventor who has been critical of Sung’s wireless telephone.
Dr. Sung’s wireless telephone is a marvel of not-so-modern science that promises to change the way we communicate with each other. It is a testament to his genius and creativity that he has achieved what many thought was impossible: a telephone without wires.
