Guglielmo Marconi's Influence On The Modern World

Marco Polo's Travels formulated in Europe of the fourteenth and fifteenth century a new perception of the Eastern world, a world just as advanced and sophisticated as that of the West. Yet, another two centuries were needed for a significant change to take place; this was Christopher Columbus' voyage. For Christopher Columbus, Marco Polo's travelogue was a valuable and solid resource that contained the necessary details of the East. The geographical descriptions in his writing generated a basis for Columbus' scientific calculations for his expedition and the explicit depictions of the luxury of Cipangu and Cathay, flawed though they were, created a strong motivation for Columbus. In the 12th of May 1492, Christopher Columbus, accompanied

Ernesto Schiaparelli was born on July 12, 1856 in Occhieppo Inferiore, Italy. His father, Louis was a professor of ancient history at the University of Turin thus resulting Schiaparelli to have a close connection to history at a young age. Schiaparelli started his studies with Francesco Rossi at the University of Turin however, continued to study them in Paris in the years of 1877 and 1880 with Gaston Maspero, a French Egyptologist.

The radio is the most interesting because it has changed the way entertainment works. The inventor of the radio is still unknown however there are many great people that contributed to the creation of the radio. Heinrich Hertz, a German scientist has proven that radio waves occur in nature. In 1896 Guglielmo Marconi had sent a Morse code radio signal and had also received it. This was the spark of the radio. He had applied for a patent in wireless telegraphy and was granted.

Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant believed to have journeyed across Asia.He first left at age 17 with his dad and uncle.They were traveling upon the silk road.Marco Polo was born in 1254 in italy City-state. He traveled with his family. They journeyed to Europe to Asia 1271 to 1295.

There was once a woman from a time long ago named Hedy Lamar, she came up with the idea of radio waves, jumping to direct a torpedo to its target without it being seen on radars. She was shut down by everyone because she was a girl and couldn't invent anything. She gave her idea, to the navy and they created wifi years after her death. She never got any credit for inventing wifi, and I thank Hedy Lamar because wifi changed my life.

Matteo Ricci was one of the most influential people before the twentieth century through his contributions to science in China. He was born on October 6, 1552 in Macerata of the Papal states in Italy and lived to the age fifty-eight May 11, 1610 in Beijing, China leaving behind 2,500 Chinese Catholics, with many in the educated classes, and a great legacy. He came from a noble family. His parents were Giovanni Battista Ricci and Giovanna Angiolelli. His dad was pharmacist by profession and his mom was known for a simple piety. When he was eighteen, Matteo went to study law at La Sapienza, the University at Rome. In May 1577 Ricci he traveled to Portugal for ten months in preparation for his overseas mission studying Portuguese and starting theology. From 1578 to 1582 he was in India, after ordained as a priest, and spent two years completing his theological training. While this was happening he taught Greek in Jesuit colleges. After, completing his training with the Jesuits he was assigned to China Mission, in 1582. He stayed there and worked for twenty-seven years. Throughout the twenty-seven years he gained a lot of respect from others, attained knowledge, and gained many influential friendships.

During a study done by German Scientist Heinrich Hertz, he discovered radio waves. In 1985 Guglielmo Marconi used radio waves to create the first wireless telegraph which is now known as the radio. His invention was first done in his parents attic. Marconi used radio waves to transmit Morse Code and it worked. The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Guglielmo Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Braun for the development of the wireless telegraph. Marconi and Braun shared the Nobel Prize equally.

The main claim of this article is that there will always be fear new technology and that it will damage society. An example from the article looks back at history to the invention of the radio and how people condemned it because of the harm it brought to children that listened to it, according to

Many children, including myself, have once played the game Marco Polo. Although, I have always been curious, who exactly is Marco Polo? My fascination of Marco Polo warped into a fixation of his travels. Marco Polo was born in Venice in the year 1254. His father, Nicolo, and his uncle, Maffeo, were merchants who had seats in the great nobleman council of Venice (Polo IV). According to his records, he had traveled thousands of miles with his father and uncle.

It was in Venice where Marco Polo established his passion for exploring. It is believed that Marco Polo’s father Niccolo Polo influenced his dedication for exploring. Marco polo was mainly raised by his two brothers Niccolo and Maffeo as his mother died when was young and his father was often away exploring. He went on his first expedition to China in 1271 at the age of seventeen and spent seventeen years in China (Dates and events, 2015: Online). After ruling one of Kublai Khan Cities in 1280.

“I have not told half of what I saw” were the final words of the great Venetian explorer Marco Polo; however, in recent times, Marco Polo’s exploits have been doubted more and more. (Pedriali, 161) Most often cited as evidence that Marco Polo’s travels may not have been as truthful as reported is the 1998 book Did Marco Polo go to china? by Dr. Frances Wood. Through new research done by Dr. Hans Ulrich Vogel of University of Tübingen in Germany, it has been shown that Marco Polo was mostly truthful in his memoirs, but it has also proven that some things were exaggerated thanks to his ghostwriter Rustichello da Pisa, Marco Polo himself, or later copyists.

Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy on February 15, 1564 and was named after his ancestor Galileo Bonaiuti who was a physician, professor, and politician. His parents were Giulia Ammannati and Vincenzo Galilei, a famous lutenist, composer, and music theorist. He was the first born of six children of which three of his five siblings survived infancy. He started his education at the young age of 8 at the Camaldolese Monastery at Vallombrosa, which brought a close connection to the Christian religion.
