Revised Top 10 Inventions
Revised the list to include more inventions that were broader, as opposed to specific!
Note: Only two of the things changed!
Note: Only two of the things changed!
- Electricity: without this, most other things would not be possible, such as light-bulbs, kitchen appliances, dishwashers, and A/C.
- Penicillin: first antibiotic that helped pave the way for fighting plague, TB, E.coli
- Vaccines: anti-viral for things such as Hepatitis, influenza, and polio
- Clean Tap Water: Although not everyone has this yet, it allows billions to consume water and live healthier.
- Computer: Without this, would not be possible to write this blog!
- Internet: Allowed computers and mobile phones to communicate and share information globally within seconds.
- Mobile Phones: providing internet connectivity to billions of people, including those of low income countries who did not previously have any form of communication (ex. India)
- Combustion Engine - This helped pave the way for the manufacturing, automobile, and airplane inventions. As a result, it greatly improved efficiency and transportation.
- Ships: Earliest form of trade between ancient civilizations, founding of New World, and mass transport
- Paper - this is very important because it helped spread knowledge, ideas, and religion! Moreover, it preserved history, so we have a better idea of the past.
Hey Jaskirat,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post! I enjoyed seeing your revised top 10 inventions. What struck me as the most interesting was clean tap water; I never thought of it as an invention! However, you are definitely right that without clean water, we would all be prone to various diseases.
Once again, great blog post!
Yo Jaskirat,
ReplyDeleteHey I liked the idea about ships. Most people focused on methods of transportation that were on land or in the sky. Ships are by far the oldest and predate any sort of combustion/electric/steam engine. I like where you're thoughts were going.
I agree with Eddie, clean tap water is a good one. I definitely don't appreciate it as much as I should. It's a major part of my daily routine.
ReplyDeleteI also feel like having computers, mobile phones, and the internet is a little redundant. They're definitely all separate things but they all seem to come from one technological movement and don't feel as much like distinct inventions as many of the other potential inventions that didn't make the list.
