Technology invented in the 20th century
Technology, science, inventions,
and re-inventions have
progressed at an accelerated rate
during the hundred years of the
20th century, more so than any
other century. We began the
20th century with the infancy of
airplanes, automobiles, and
radio, when those inventions
dazzled us with their novelty and
wonder.
Invention of Television - Created in 1926 by John Logie Baird, the
television was one of the first inventions to affect the lives of masses all over
the world, and to this day still remains the most popular ways of getting
information.
Computer - The concept of computer came into existence courtesy Charles
Babbage. The first programmable computer was however made by Konrad
Zuse. This was closely followed by the production of the desktop and laptop
computers.
Radio - one of the first major inventions of the 20th century. Invented in
conjunction with many different scientists including Nikola Tesla and
Guglielmo Marconi, the radio became the most used forms of communications
in the world.
The Automobile - Popularized by Henry Ford's Model T in 1908, the
automobile gave the average person a bigger degree of mobility and personal
freedom while also spawning a revolution in the market place.
Air Conditioning - invented by Willis Carrier in 1902, and textile mill
engineer Stuart Cramer was the first to coin the term “air conditioning” in
1906.
Xerography - based on the photo conductivity of semiconductor materials
that are applied to a special backing made of, for example, paper or metal. The
process was developed in 1938 by Charles Carlson.
Refrigerator - Invented in 1913. The first electric refrigerator for domestic
use was invented by American Fred W. Wolf
Some of the Most Important Technological Innovations of the 21st
Century
The ability to create inventions is what distinguishes us from animals.
Throughout eras of human history we have made it to every corner of the
globe. With technological advances, we have managed to survive and to
become the most successful species on the planet. Inventions that made life
easier like wheels, the steam machine and pesticides also secured food sources
for us and reduced the need for human labour, allowing specialization rather
than survival.
Robotics - one of the most important inventions of the 21st century
Social Media - one of the prime 21st-century revolutions. It has a formidable
influence on society. Some of the platforms people use are Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat. These can help keep in touch with people,
find jobs and advertise a business. Social media creates a sense of belonging.
Drone Technology - also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are a
part of the significant technological innovations of the time
Smartphones and Tablets - The touch screen was introduced in 2007 and
has since spread to other devices such as tablets, laptops, stereos, and
television sets.
3D printing, E-cigarettes among the most important inventions of the 21st
century.
Start of modern technology
Modern technology has given way for
multi-functional devices such as
smartwatch and smartphones.
Computers are increasingly becoming
faster, more portable, and more powered
than ever before. In all of these
revolutions, technology has also made
our lives easier, faster, better, and more
fun.
Internet is the very foundation of
modern technology.
The future is going to be all about
modern technology such as artificial
intelligence, big data, augmented
reality, virtual reality, and block
chains.
Modern technology has changed
a lot compared to what we have
seen in the past decade or the
last century. New machines and
gadgets have been invented to
make jobs easier than ever.
