    Today is the birthday of the Answering Machine...

    I get these emails daily, but I found this interesting...

    Did you know...

    ... that today is the birthday of the Answering Machine?
    Sorry, I'm not in right now, but if you leave a message, I'll
    get back to you real soon now. The answering machine was
    invented in 1945 by Edwin L. Peterson.

    A telephone answering machine patented by U.S. inventor Edwin L. Peterson employs newly developed wire-recording technology (see 1940; Müller, 1935; Zimmermann, 1948).

    However, Wikipedia does not mention Peterson at all...
