For Centuries, humans have created and invented innumerable things. Some were brilliant and some were a little unorthodox. But from the first shape-edged rock tools to the highly scientific Mars Rovers, these human inventions have revolutionary achievements.
Here we have picked out the most advanced technologically advanced inventions by man ever.
Most Advanced Technology by Man Ever
These inventions have dated back to the Stone Age, till the modern age. But these picks were a revolution during each era.
The Wheel
This is regarded as the greatest invention in the history of man. Invented in 3500 B.C., this invention opened the possibility of movement to literally anywhere.
Due to the wheel, gradually carts and other vehicles were possible. And movement became easier, as well as transport of goods, traveling great distance became possible.
These ancient wheels have gone through a lot of modification and further technological innovation over the centuries. Read Also: Uk Inspiration, Unconventional USA, Insights Of America, Singapore News Hub, Singapore Journals
The Compass
Before the compass, ancient mariners used to navigate by seeing the stars. But that was a problem in the day. Somewhere between 2nd Century B.C. and 1st Century A.D.; the compass was invented in China during the Han dynasty.
It was made out of lodestone, a naturally occurring magnetized iron ore. But the use of a compass was first done in the 11th and 12th Centuries during the Song dynasty. Soon it came to the West through the mariners.
The Printing Press
In 1440 and 1450, German inventor Johannes Gutenberg first invented the printing press. The key significance of this invention was the hand mold. This new molding technique enabled the rapid printing of large quantities of movable types.
Although the Chinese and Koreans have developed the movable type with metal, Gutenberg created the mechanized way to process to transfer the ink from the movable type to the paper.
The Internal Combustion Engine
In these internal combustion engines, fuel releases a high-temperature gas that expands and applies force on the pistons, making it move. Hence, the combustion engine converts chemical energy to mechanical energy.
It took decades to perfect this mechanism, but scientists finally perfected this mechanism during the latter half of the 19th century. This invention steered the Industrial Age, which enable the inventions of different machines, like cars, and aircraft.
The Telephone
Several inventors pioneered their works on electronic voice transmission, many filed it as their intellectual property lawsuit. But was Scottish inventor Alexander Graham Bell was the first inventor of the electric telephone in March of 1876.
Three days after inventing the telephone, Bell called his assistant Thomas Watson, and said to him, “Mr. Watson, come here- I want to see you”. This invention revolutionalized the global communication and business technology.
After Bell died on August 2, 1922, all the telephone services around the United States and Canada stopped for one minute to show him great honor. Read More: Australian Scoop, Universal Australia, Uae Universe, Uae Today, UkOpedia
The Light Bulb
The invention of the light bulb, created a revolution in the world as it made us less dependent on the limited amount of daylight. It made us productive during the night as well.
Several scientists were involved with the invention during the 1800s, but it was Thomas Edition who was finally credited with the invention. He created a functional lighting system, with a generator and wiring and a carbon-filament bulb, in 1879.
This invention perfected the sleep cycle of the population in the Western world. A period of 7 to 8 hours was allocated to sleep.
Conclusion
These above-mentioned inventions have created a great revolution in the ancient and the modern world both alike. These inventions have been perfected and modified through the years and technology modified these inventions a lot.
