Američki glumac Elvud Edvards preminuo je 5. novembra u 74. godini, samo dan pre svog 75. rođendana.

Vest o njegovoj smrti potvrdio je njegov bivši poslodavac, studio VKIC-TV iz Klivlenda, navodeći da je Edvards preminuo posle duge i teške bolesti.

Edvards je postao globalno poznat zahvaljujući svom glasu koji je 1989. godine snimio za početne poruke na America Online (AOL). Njegove rečenice – „Dobro došli“, „Imate poštu“, „Imate slike“, „Imate govornu poštu“, „Datoteka je gotova“ i „Zbogom“ – postale su legendarne i ostale su urezane u pamćenje mnogih internet korisnika.

 

@deandocs Meet Elwood Edwards, the voice behind AOL's legendary "Welcome", "You've got mail", "File's done", and "Goodbye". Back in 1989, Edwards recorded these phrases on a cassette deck in his living room as a favor to his wife, who worked for the company that would become AOL. Little did he know, his voice would soon become an iconic part of internet history, reaching an astonishing 35 million people every single day at the height of AOL's popularity. Edwards was initially paid 200 bucks for lending his voice to the program, and while he's not a wealthy man because of it, he isn’t bitter one bit. Recently appearing in a commercial for Shopify. While Elwood Edwards may not be a household name, he’ll forever be instantly recognizable as the voice that defined the early internet by greeting millions of people every day. #internethistory #earlyinternet #media ♬ original sound - Dean

 

Snimanje tih poruka Edvards je obavio u dnevnoj sobi, koristeći kasetofon, a za taj rad bio je plaćen svega 200 dolara. Uprkos simboličnom honoraru, njegov glas postao je deo istorije digitalne komunikacije.
