Inventions
My part of the project is based on inventions. There were a lot of inventions in the 1950s. In 1951,Charles Ginsburg invented the first videotape recorder. He was born in San Francisco, California on July 27,1920. Charles Ginsburg had made a large contribution to technology when it came down to his inventions and development of video magnetic tape recording for quick playback.
In 1940, he worked as a sound technician and a studio and transmitter engineer even though he began his job as a pre-med student and also studied animal husbandry. In 1948, he graduated from San Jose State College with a B.A. In 1952, he joined the Ampex Corporation where he would make his mark in the world of television. Charles Ginsburg changed television broadcasting by developing a system which used a rapidly rotating recording head to apply high frequency signals onto a reel of magnetic tape. That invention made possible instant replay. In 1957, Charles Ginsburg won an Emmy for his outstanding contribution of the VTR or Video Tape Recorder. He was also put on the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1990 for leading the research team at Ampex Corporation in developing his video tape recorder. He died April 9,1992 in Eugene, Oregon.
Another inventions was the Barbie doll in 1959. The inventor name was Ruth Handler. Barbie first introduced to the world at the American Toy Fair in New York City. Ruth Handler was born on November 4,1916 in Denver, Colorado. Her birth name was Ruth Mosko. She was an businesswomen and the president of the toy manufacturer Mattel, Inc.
Her occupation was a Entrepreneur, inventor, and also the president of Mattel, Inc. She was Jewish. Her husband name is Elliott Handler and her child name was Barbara Kenneth. Ruth Handler started making a doll when her daughter preferred playing with her infant paper dolls and gave them adult roles. She wanted to make a plastic doll with adult features but her husband and his business partner thought that it wouldn’t sell.
Ruth Handler went to a European trip and she saw a German doll in a Swiss shop and brought it. When she came back home she started work on the design of the doll again and named it Barbie after her daughter. Barbie dolls became an instant success. Later they added a boyfriend for Barbie named Ken and others friends and family for Barbie’s world. Ruth fought breast cancer and undergoing a mastectomy. In 1970, she surveyed the market for a suitable prosthetic breast. When she became disappointed in the option available so she set about designing a replacement breast that was more similar to a natural one. She died April 27,2002 in Los Angeles, California because of complications of surgery for colon cancer at the age of eighty-five.
