Inventions That Will Probably Shape the 21st Century

The sensation of the iPhone is obvious in person; everywhere you go, someone has one of these devices in their possession. With millions of units selling every year, it is no wonder that the device is becoming highly ubiquitous and iconic. Like other Apple products, the iPhone is something that is easily recognized all around the world. The same phone has been selling for over four years now with cosmetic and hardware updates for each year’s new iteration, along with an operating system that is becoming more refined. Since its release in 2007, the iPhone has been a massively successful product for Apple, who has sold more than 100 million units in the iPhone's first four year, including 18.6 million in the first quarter of 2011 (Artman). Other competitors make smartphones that are better than the iPhone in many ways, yet Apple is selling more than ever. Other companies release new phones faster than the yearly refresh of Apple’s iPhones, but the latest isn’t always the greatest. It isn’t the technology that makes the iPhone successful, but rather the cool factor that the device expresses (Mintz).

And the front is more attractive too” (Crothers). The new transformation of the iPhone 5 in 2012 still has many people turning their heads and observing the phone. When people look past the functionality of the phone and see the design for its aesthetic beauty and design, it is a no-brainer that the iPhone’s sharp yet soft appearance can attract so many people to buy the phone. Apple completely redesigned the iPhone when the iPhone 5 was released and this only has strengthened Apple and has brought many people to turn away from Android. The design is very sharp and razor like at the edges but the center is soft and a great contrast to the edge. The thinness of the phone is spectacular and also strengthens the clarity of the phone’s sharpness. The iPhone also has a retina display that is designed to create optimal viewing of a screen with the right amount of PPI (pixels per inch), so the view is never distorted but crystal clear. A sharp design and crystal clear screen has aided the iPhone and showed many that the iPhone is clearly crafted better than an Android device.

When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone at the Macworld convention in January of 2007, a tidal change in the way users communicate with one another was unleashed. The phone, which combined the already popular attributes of an iPod with the traditional cell phone, was an instant success, selling millions of units even at the initially haughty price of $599 each (Vogelstein, 2008). The theory behind the creation of the phone was deceptively simple: combine an MP3 player with a Blackberry, camera, and regular cell phone operating on a sleek touch-screen controlled software system. Consumers were finally freed from carrying separate devices to perform all they tasks they now wanted to away from home. In one simple hand-held device they could take pictures, listen to music, play games, communicate with friends and family, and even surf the Internet. This one device changed the way that people began sharing information, allowing them to instantly access information anywhere in the world while also transmitting it just as quickly. The iPhone is now universally recognized and has become a cultural artifact in our times.

After the end of world war I in 1918, Europe was left ruined economically, physically and politically. In 1919 a year after the war take place, nations in Europe were struggling to get out of all the mess they gain from the war. As a matter of fact America only fought for a year and several month therefor U.S was left unharmed by World War I. This reality put America in head start for inventions and technologies for the next decade . During that time many inventors and technologists rise and make different important technologies that we still use them. In general, technologies in the 1920s helped American people to reach at the peak of comfortable living comparing to the standard of living of those

Technology has changed remarkably over the last one hundred years. First, the way that we use books has changed. Another way is the way we play games. The way we communicate with each other has changed drastically over the last century as well. At this rate, with technology growing every day, we can see the “new” technology that we have right now is already being replaced with something else that is “new.”

Apple just released a new phone that is larger than it was in the past. They make the items look clean and sleek. They make it seem as they were the first to have the massive phones. If I wanted a massive smartphone I would have bought 1 3 years ago when Samsung release their Galaxy Note.

New top-end mobile phones such as the Apple Iphone are allowing a new class of mobile to emerge in the world today. Combined with its ease of use, rich design, and well-organized application system through Apple App Store makes the Iphone an appealing platform for development of other smartphones. The Apple IPhone was released on June 29, 2007 by CEO of Apple Steve Jobs (Honan). The IPhone offers many of the innovative features found on competing devices, but it also differs from other smartphones on the market.

Technological advances during this time produced essentials we use today: the atom bomb, computer technology, and the radio were some important inventions, but among

Many great innovations that benefited people came to earth in the 19th and 20th century. These new creations vastly improved people’s way of lives by making things easier and faster to do while some provide news and knowledge in a flash. The amazing ideas were formulated by brilliant inventors so that they could address the current needs to prevent time consuming tasks and at the same time deliver good results. Through these notable wonders which we often use were the computer, television, radio and telephone people were able to live fully and efficiently. We tackled about the most useful things and how did they become our everyday need and without these said

Did you know in the past century we created artificial body parts, the internet, windpower, and so much more? As we speak, society keeps advancing for a better world. New technological advances in America will help save lives, money, and reputations of many countries. Despite the side-effects of technology, America will be a utopia in 2117 because of the many benefits it will provide us as society moves forward.

Over the last decade, electronic-based companies such as Samsung and Apple have collaborated with cellular-phone carriers, and have studied the average consumer to find endless ways to improve the cellular phone. As a result, the smart phone was born. With their ability to provide users with instant access to communication, entertainment, Internet access, calendar, news, social media, and much more, the smart phone revolutionized and shifted the path of modern technology. In 2006, Apple began this revolution with their release of the iPhone. Being the first proper smart phone, many other companies attempted to mimic the unbeatable features and technology that Apple had included with the iPhone.

Once again Apple has been the first to the market when it comes to new features such as the touch screen, which has helped to keep its competition at arms length. Like all other Apple products, the smartphone is seen by many consumers in the industry as fashionable and a must have. Also Apple’s online music store support has also been a huge lift to its smartphones, as consumers can download music and thousands of applications.

With Apple being so far ahead of their competition, the only problem one can foresee in Apple’s future is how long they can sustain such innovation before they plateau. Apple does a phenomenal job at releasing their innovative products before their competition, but if their innovation cannot hold steady, this may lead to changes in demand for their products considerably. This can be seen with their release of the iPhone, the first successful touch screen cellular phone. Although people swarmed to the iPhone when it was first released because of its advanced technology, as the years have passed, other similar designs, including those with android and windows based operating systems, have drawn a considerable portion of the market. A clear representation of Apple’s attempt to regain some of this market can be seen when the iPhone was released to Verizon Wireless’ customers in

Currently in 2014, the iPhone offers over hundreds of thousands of apps that make almost any task user-friendly. They also have the most advanced technology compared to other app markets (“iPhone” 1). This did not just happen quickly. There was not an App Store until a year after the launch of the first iPhone. It is mind blowing to believe that the iPhone 5s has LTE mobile broadband, while the first iPhone in 2007 did not even provide 3G (2). In about five years, Apple's iPhone developed greatly when it comes to the technology within it. Also, the outside features went through modern enhancements, including change in appearance from the original, and getting slimmer with each new generation. Throughout time apple will continue to

In 2007, Jobs invented the iPhone, a user friendly smart phone, which launched the smart phone market as we know it today. Until the emergences of other companies in the smart phone industry Apple monopolized the smart phone market. Although, other competitors are producing smart phones, Apple still continues to be successful when it comes to sales. For instance, Apple’s new iPhone 5S models sold more than 9 million units in their first weekend, and the company has earned praise for
