Black inventor that revolutionized the music, computer and electronic industry #BlackExcellence

[EdJo]

Just found out about this black guy...You soundcloud rappers should thank him forever

He was born in Belize.

- "The online digital music revolution was started on this day exactly 28 years today when, on August 8, 1988, revered inventor Andre Gray uploaded the very first
complete song on the Internet titled "Internet Killed The Video Star", a song he composed on a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer and in the MIDI format."

"The song "Internet Killed The video Star" by Andre Gray is now acknowledged by historians as the big bang and Rosetta Stone of digital music
and the birth of online entertainment in general."


- Andre Gray, an MBA graduate of Kent University in Canterbury, United Kingdom, is also well known as the inventor of:

-the 1991 Electronic Ticket;

- the 1995 Electronic Press Kit;

- the first mobile phone music player, Microgrooves Electronic, in 1998;

- Online Music Sales Certifications in 1999.


- "Being the first person in the world to realize that consumers could not or would not be willing to purchase both a mobile phone and a MP3 player separately, Gray set out to rectify that problem and his finished product he simply named Microgrooves Electronic or Microgrooves-E for short."

- "Microgrooves Electronic, or Microgrooves-E for short, is the world's very first mobile phone music player software capable of storing and playing back pre-recorded music on a cellular phone like a portable digital MP3 player. Microgrooves-E was invented and given its name by prolific inventor Andre Gray who wrote the software using the C programming language for his IBM Simon smartphone that was given to him as a Christmas gift in 1993 by his dear friend Manny Roth, the legendary former operator of the famed Cafe Wha? Club in New York City."


- "In June of 1991, he invented the electronic ticket when he began selling concert tickets through his USENET newsgroup for a King’s X concert he promoted at the Elco Theatre in Elkhart. He invented ringtones and ring backs and the SYNC Programming Language in 1994 for his IBM Simon cell phone and single-handedly jumpstarted the mobile phone entertainment industry.”


- "One of Gray’s inventions that is getting a lot of attention in the technology world right now is his Mind Over Matter Technology, which he invented from as far back as 1994. With this technology, thoughts are inputted onto the computer without touching a keyboard or a muse."


- "Mind-Over-Matter Technology, sometimes called MOM Technology for short, is a branch of science & technology where the human brain or mind is utilized as the primary controlling mechanism for the instruction, manipulation and operation of all forms of electronic or digital electronics products, machinery, motor or hybrid operated vehicles (air, land, underwater) and all other known or yet to be invented machinery, digital electronics devices, products or apparatuses across all industries & technologies."

The 'Talented Tenth' Most Influential Blacks In Technology - Lightning Releases



How is this guy not super famous? Electronic tickets (E-tickets) are used worldwide and by every major industry. Youtube is only able to put music content on their website, because of his technology. All cellphones now have music, because of him, Samsung was the first company to use his technology.

Also, Mind Over Matter is just WOW, and to think that he invented in 1994...Dayum

Sadly, not much is found about him.

Thanks for the history lesson breh. Fools think that Wakanda technology ish is only in comics and movies.
Here's another black genius.

The inventor of the Cellular phone is Henry Sampson

The inventor of the Cellular phone is Henry Sampson, Jr. Sampson is an African-American from Jackson , Mississippi . He attended Morehouse College and transferred to Purdue. He received an MS in Engineering from the



University Of California. He was awarded an MS in Nuclear Engineering from Illinois and his Ph.D from Illinois . Sampson is the first African-American to receive a Ph.D in Nuclear Engineering.In 1971 Sampson was awarded a patent for the "gamma-electric cell." This technology was used in the cellular phone.



During the AIChE Centennial Meeting held in Philadelphia in November 2008, Dr. Sampson was honored among the “Twenty Chemical Engineers in Other Pursuits.” Sampson is the recipient of a variety of awards including the Atomic Energy Commission Award (1964-1967), Black Image Award from Aerospace Corporation (1982), Blacks in Engineering, Applied Science and Education Award and Los Angeles Council of Black Professional Engineers (1983), and was named a fellow in the U.S. Navy (1962-1964).



In addition to his work in engineering fields, Sampson is a writer, film historian, and documentary film producer who focuses on the African American presence in the film and entertainment industries. He has written five books about the portrayal of African Americans in movies, cartoons, and on radio. Sampson is married to Laura Howzell Young-Sampson, a professor at California State University-San Bernardino. Together, they are working on a biography of Sampson’s mother.-------------------------------

On July 6th, 1971, Henry T. Sampson invented the "gamma-electric cell", which pertains to Nuclear Reactor use. According to Dr. Sampson, the Gamma Electric Cell, patented July 6, 1971, Patent No. 3,591,860 produces stable high-voltage output and current to detect radiation in the ground.

Born in Jackson, Mississippi, he received a Bachelor of Science degree from Purdue University in 1956. He went on to the University of California, Los Angeles where he graduated with an MS degree in engineering in 1961; University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, MS in Nuclear Engineering in 1965, and a PHD in 1967.

Mobile Communications took a big step forward in 1983 with the invention of the Cellular System regulating the portable telephones, which use radio waves to transmit and receive audio signals. Before this time, mobile telephone service in the United States, consisting mainly of car phones, was extremely limited because metropolitan areas had only one antenna for these purposes. In addition, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) assigned only 12 to 24 frequencies to each area, which meant that only that many calls could occur at a time.

These limitations often meant a wait of up to 30 minutes for a dial tone and a five to 10 year waiting list just to acquire the service. With the invention of cellular phone service in 1983, personal communications no longer depended on wires. In the 1990s it would become possible to connect to the Internet from virtually anywhere in the world using a portable computer and a cellular modem with satellite service. Technologies that developed from different fields, such as personal communications, computation, and space exploration often worked together to serve the constantly evolving human needs of the information age.

Henry T. Sampson worked as a research Chemical Engineer at the US Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, California. 1956-61. Henry T. Sampson then moved on to the Aerospace Corp, El Segundo, California. His titles include: Project Engineer, 1967-81, director of Planning and Operations Directorate of Space Test Program, 1981-, and Co-inventor of gamma-electric cell.

He holds patents related to solid rocket motors and conversion of nuclear energy into electricity. He also pioneered a study of internal ballistics of solid rocket motors using high-speed photography.

He was also a producer of documentary films on early black filmmakers and films, a member of the board of directors of Los Angeles Southwest College Foundation, and a technical consultant to Historical Black Colleges and Universities Program.

Sampson's Awards and Honors:

* Fellow of US Navy, 1962-1964

* Atomic Energy Commission, 1964-1967

* Black Image Award from Aerospace Corp, 1982

* Blacks in Engineering, Applied Science, and Education Award, Los Angeles Council of Black Professional Engineers, 1983
