Presentation Transcript

  1. His Master’s Voice

  2. The previous slide shows a painting called “His Master’s Voice.” The little dog would come running in to listen to his owner’s voice when it was played on the gramophone. The Gramophone Company bought the rights to the painting in the 1800’s to use for their advertising campaign. They stated that their gramophones had such good sound that it could fool this little dog to think that his master was inside the gramophone! You’ll see why this is important as you watch this power point.
