Alexander Graham Bell Goes Digital

CNN.comreports that voices recorded by inventor Alexander Graham Bell more than 125 years ago are being heard now, thanks to digital imaging technology.

“It’s not high fidelity, but you can definitely figure out what they’re saying,” said Carl Haber of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, one of the scientists working on the project in a laboratory at the Library of Congress.
