Things are constantly in motion with new versions and totally new creations materializing right before our very eyes. How excited do you think the general public was at the time that the following fifteen items came on the scene and revolutionized life as they knew it at their point in time. I have created a list of fifteen life changing items below but not in any particular order.
(Item One) The Telegraph
Before this revolutionary invention, the fasted that information could travel over great distances was via "The Pony Express".
(Item Two) Alexander Gram Bell's Telephone
Do you think that he had visions of almost virtually every person on earth walking around with a smartphone in their hands helping to fulfill a Prophesy From The Book of Daniel?
(Item Three) The Printing Press
Imagined in 1439 by the German Johannes Gutenberg, this gadget from multiple points of view established the framework for our cutting-edge age. It allowed ink to be transferred from the movable type to paper in a mechanized way. This revolutionized the spread of knowledge and religion as previous books were generally hand-written (often by monks).
(Item Four) Electricity
Utilization of electricity is a procedure to which various brilliant personalities have contributed more than a large number of years, going the distance back to Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, when Thales of Miletus led the most punctual research into the wonder. The eighteenth century American Renaissance man Benjamin Franklin is by and largely credited with essentially promoting our comprehension of power, if not its revelation.
It's difficult to overestimate how essential power has progressed toward becoming to mankind as it runs the lion's share of our gadgetry and shapes our lifestyle. The invention of the light bulb, although a separate contribution, attributed to Thomas Edison in 1879, is certainly a major extension of the ability to harness electricity. It has profoundly changed the way we live, work as well as the look and functioning of our cities.
(Item Five) The Internal Combustion Engine
The nineteenth-century innovation (made by Etienne Lenoir in 1859 and enhanced by Nikolaus Otto in 1876), this engine that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy overtook the steam engine and is used in modern cars and planes.
(Item Six) Cars
Autos totally changed the way we go, and also the outline of our urban areas. They were developed in their cutting-edge frame in the late nineteenth century by various people, with extraordinary credit heading off to the German Karl Benz for making what's viewed as the principal down to earth motorcar in 1885.
(Item Seven) The Airplane
Invented in 1903 by the American Wright siblings, planes united the world, allowing us to travel quickly over great distances.
(Item Eight) Nuclear Fission
This process of splitting atoms to release a tremendous amount of energy led to the creation of nuclear reactors and atomic bombs. It was the zenith of work by various noticeable (for the most part Nobel-Prize-winning) twentieth-century researchers, however, the particular disclosure of atomic splitting is, for the most part, credited to the Germans Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, working with the Austrians Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch.
(Item Nine) Semiconductors
They are at the foundation of electronic devices and the modern Digital Age. Mostly made of silicon, semiconductor devices are behind the nickname of “Silicon Valley”, home to today’s major computing companies. The first device containing semiconductor material was demonstrated in 1947 by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain & William Shockley of Bell Labs.
(Item Ten) The Personal Computer
Invented in the 1970s, personal computers greatly expanded human capabilities. While your smartphone is more powerful, one of the earliest PCs was introduced in 1974 by Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS) via a mail-order computer kit called the Altair.
(Item Eleven) The Internet
While the worldwide network of computers has been in development since the 1960s, when it took the shape of U.S. Defense Department’s ARPANET, the Internet as we know it today is an even more modern invention. 1990’s creation of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee is responsible for transforming our communication, commerce, entertainment, politics, you name it.
(Item Twelve) Rockets
While the invention of early rockets is credited to the Ancient Chinese, the modern rocket is a 20th-century contribution to humanity, responsible for transforming military capabilities and allowing human space exploration.
(Item Thirteen) Penicillin
Discovered by the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming in 1928, this drug transformed medicine by its ability to cure infectious bacterial diseases. It began the era of antibiotics.
(Item Fourteen) Vaccination
While here and there dubious, the act of immunization is in charge of annihilating infections and broadening the human life expectancy. The primary antibody (for smallpox) was produced by Edward Jenner in 1796. A rabies immunization was created by the French physicist and scholar Louis Pasteur in 1885, who is credited with making inoculation the significant piece of medication that is it today. Pasteur is additionally in charge of imagining the nourishment wellbeing procedure of purification, that bears his name.
(Item Fifteen) Gunpowder
This chemical explosive, invented in China in the 9th century, has been a major factor in military technology (and, by extension, in wars that changed the course of human history).
