Beep (Celebrating 100 years!)
Filed Under Random Thoughts | Author: Gerald Smith |
Imagine a time when no beeps were heard.
The word beep originated following the invention of the klaxon horn around 1910 and was common vernacular by the end of the following decade.
There are also historical references to military equipment invented during World War I emitting the sound of “beep”. The word officially entered the dictionary in 1927.
How many beeps do you hear each day?
