Thaddeus Cahill
Thaddeus Cahill (1867 - 1934) was a prominent inventor of the early 20th century. He is widely credited for inventing the first electronic musical instrument, which he dubbed the teleharmonium. Cahill had tremendous ambitions for his invention; he wanted teleharmonium music to be broadcast into hotels, restaurants, theaters, and even houses via the telephone line. Sadly, at a weight of 200 tons and a price tag of $200,000, only three teleharmoniums were ever built, and Cahill's great vision was never fully implemented. His idea proved to be fruitful, nearly a century later, with the advent of Streaming media.
