In the course its history, human inventions have dramatically increased the average amount of
energy available for use per person. Primitive peoples in cold regions burned wood and animal dung
to heat their caves, cook food, and drive off animals by fire. The first step toward the developing of
more efficient fuels was taken when people discovered that they could use vegetable oils and animal
fats in lieu of gathered or cut wood. Charcoal gave off a more intensive heat than wood and was more
easily obtainable than organic fats. The Greeks first began to use coal for metal smelting in the 14
th
century, but it did not come extensive use until the Industrial Revolution.

States and other nations undergoing industrialization was obtained from perpetual and renewable

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound
films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public
performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by
a single pianist, a small band, or a full – scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound effect
machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures – called
“synchronized sound” – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound,
characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented
gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The
biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example,
the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only
effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
