The example of technology I chose is the guitar. The guitar is an example of a lute, which is known to be “one of the world’s most common instrument types.” It is actually in the same family as banjos, violins, and mandolins (which is the string instruments, also known as chordophones).

The electric guitar was first created by George Beauchamp and Adolph Rickenbacker. This guitar is able to be played the way it is because of a branch of physics called electromagnetism, which is also one of nature’s four fundamental forces. Under the strings of the body of the guitar, there are electromagnets. When the strings are […]

I chose to write about the electronic drum. The electronic drum is a modern day electronic instrument and special type of synthesizer that was created by a drummer Graeme Edge from The Moody Blues in the early 1970s. Its purpose is to serve as a second type of acoustic drum kit, while being set up […]
