Women's Roles Then and Now

In my opinion, the automobile and the utilization of electricity have been two of the most important inventions in United States history. The invention of the car expanded our horizons in the fact that citizens were able to travel, but also because people could live in places other than the city. Also, the utilization of electricity has become a part of life that we would not know how to live without. Electricity has allowed for businesses and homes to run in a convenient and efficient manner. Without electricity, we as a nation would have very little technology.

One innovation was the change in speed of communication, the telegraph was invented by Samuel F.B. Also the lightbulb, invented by Thomas Edison, and the typewriter caused revolutionary changes in American society.

There is no question that certain inventions have had a humongous impact on shaping our society today. They make our day-to-day lives uncomplicated and much more efficient. Inventions have completely changed our lifestyles, to the point where some people can't even imagine living without a telephone. With so many inventions in the world it's hard to choose which ones have had the most influence on us. But I believe the telephone, camera, and the airplane had the most impact on American life and industrialization.

One of the funniest although interesting inventions I stumbled upon was, sliced bread! Bread was probably made about 12,000 years ago, by mixing grains and water. It was probably tough and was cooked by putting hot coals on it. It wasn’t until about 1912 that Fredrick Rohwedder had the idea to create a bred slicer. All the bakers he talked to complained that the loves would go stale. So Rohwedder created a wrapper. He went to a Bakery in Battle Creek Michigan; they loved his idea and started making pre-cut loves. (CBC4Kids: Sliced

The Chinese offered the world the Chinese Four Great Inventions. These are paper making, printing, gunpowder and the compass. It is easy to see how significant these were in history and the world’s development. Many of these items were first discovered in China but revolutionized in the West. Let’s first discuss paper. Paper was originally made from fishnet, bark and cloth. A paper factory was setup by the Arabs who captured

China's ancient teachings and religion helped shape china to its current "Golden Age". Education is mandatory and prized both by the culture and by the state just like Islam believed in it "Golden Age". Hong Kong is the second smartest city in the world because, China believes education is too important. China has third best and the largest military in the world. Over the last 7 years China has developed the best new technology, including a

China is definitely on the top of my list of countries I could only dream to visit. There is so much that I know I can learn if given the opportunity to visit such a great country. Even today, China is home to the greatest inventions and works in the world. They are considered to be much more advanced in technology and products than the rest of the world. We have many things today in this world that is all because of Chinese discoveries and inventions. From spices to material to gun powder and paper making, we have inventors of ancient China to thank. Gun powder, printing, paper making, the compass, porcelain, silk, tea and medicine are some of the

The plow was a very important invention. Around 600 A.D. the plow led food production to its all-time high. Another invention that helped with supplies around 787 A.D. was the tidal mill. The tidal mill would collect and store water during a high tide. Around the 9th century the hour glass was invented. The hour glass helped sailors tell time while out at sea. The blast furnace was invented around 12th century A.D. The slag that was produced from the furnace was used to invent liquor. Eyeglasses were invented around the 13th century. They were used mostly for reading. They also wore them while spinning wool. The spinning wheel they used was invented around the 13th century also. The printing press of Gutenberg was invented around the 15th century. This increased the rate of printing to 250 sheets per hour. These inventions were very important to how things are

(3) Explain why you believe these four inventions or contributions are the most useful inventions or contributions from the ancient Chinese.

In the fifteenth century, China was one of the most superior global powers. The Confucian principle-adhering administration created an enviable, sophisticated society; no other nation could match it's enormous population (100-130 million), its incredibly fertile lands, or its unified bureaucracy. According to Kennedy, "...the most striking feature of the Chinese civilization must be it's technological precocity" (Kennedy 1). Kennedy was not incorrect making this statement. The nation had vast libraries, due to the invention of printing by movable type being invented in the 1000's in China, an innovation that hastened the book making process and churned out large amounts of books; the creation of paper money expedited the growth of the trade

Modern inventions are getting more advanced every day.These are two inventions that are very interesting in my opinion and the first one is the boosted board and the second one

Most inventions were made for everyday life but some were made for war. The inventions in the middle ages impacted everyday life. The invention of the clock provided closer structure to daily life. The wheelbarrow allowed faster monenent of heavy loads from place to place, it is used today for gardening and farmwork, as a couple of examples of how we use the wheelbarrow in today’s world.

Throughout history people invent more and more things to try to make life easier. Some inventions are unnoticed, while others make differences. The invention of the wheel and currency have made important differences in the course of human civilization by the wheel enabling things to be effortless and by currency contributing power and control over people and causing conflicts. Back in 3500 B.C., the wheel was invented. This simple creation has greatly impacted human civilization.

The Ancient Chinese culture had many valuable inventions; but these three really helped advance their culture. The Chinese culture would use a movable type printing to reproduce the elements of a document. They also invented the mechanical clock. The inventor's name who invented the movable type printing is Bi Sheng and the person who invented the mechanical

China has rebuilt itself from having an unstable economy, a collapsed government followed by a few turbulent years of corruption and political instability to having the world’s largest population, state-of-the-art technological advances, an incredibly growing economy and several influential leaders. The country has been credited for many inventions indispensable today such as paper, the compass, mechanical clocks, and gunpowder among others and always thought to be ahead of its time technologically. The Chinese government continues to place emphasis on innovation by allowing its people to do research on various subjects such as stem-cell research and gene therapy; these are widely controversial in other
