The inquisitive mind never stops and is constantly in search of new information. Modern inventions are a prime example of this. What inventions are familiar to you? Do you know how they influenced the course of history and all of humanity? Today we will try to lift the curtain on the mystery of the world of new and relatively recently invented technologies.
Definition of "invention"
Real success in life or business can only be achieved by using advanced technology. It is insignificant in what area - it can be discoveries in human psychology or robotics. The one who owns the know-how has every chance of becoming number one in his business.
An invention is a new solution that can be expressed in a new technology or material product.
The concept of "invention": points of view
1. Social. It all depends on the usefulness of the product. The bad ones are cigarettes or alcohol. Meaningless - shoes in which builtnavigator. Useful - the invention of anesthesia.
2. Legal. Innovations must be patented and regulated by law.
3. Economic. The expediency of the invention is assessed in terms of the possibility of further sale or use.
4. Scientific and technical. Know-how must be fully described: manufacturing technology and parameters.
Modern scientific inventions must necessarily include all the above points. If, for example, a product is not economically viable, then it makes no sense to manufacture it.
Significant inventions of the 20th century
The 20th century was rich in important modern inventions. More discoveries were made than in previous decades. Scientists and inventors have worked really well and the greatest achievements have been revealed to the world.
If you describe each of them, you get a whole book. And perhaps more than one volume. Therefore, we will only cover a few of them.
1. Talkies. Yes, we owe the fact that we can now enjoy films with sound to the Frenchman Léon Gaumont. It was he who introduced this wonderful product at the beginning of the century.
2. Airplane. The famous Wright brothers made the first flight in the history of mankind on this invention. The most interesting thing is that it was not they who invented the plane. The brothers combined the development of several inventors in their brainchild. But it was Wright who took off.
3. Modern inventions in the field of technology are amazing. And absolutely rightit can be said that the washing machine created by Alva Fisher has made life easier for more than one generation of women.
4. Assembly conveyor. Many have heard about Henry Ford and his cars, but not everyone knows that it was this man who created the technology that many factories later adopted.
5. Another brilliant invention was the band-aid. It was invented in the USA.
6. What would modern medicine be like without antibiotics? Penicillin was invented by Alexander Fleming and made a significant contribution to medicine, thereby saving many lives.
7. There is another item that is used by a fairly large number of people. This is a mobile phone. In those years, it was quite bulky, but thanks to the efforts of many, it has acquired its current form.
8. The Internet appeared in the world in the 70s. And now it is an indispensable invention of the 20th century.
Famous innovators
Great scientists and inventors have always existed. Sometimes they are called geniuses, but this is probably the most accurate definition for such people. They created amazing things that humanity still uses.
Modern inventions are different from ancient discoveries. This is all due to the level of technology development, new raw materials. New solutions are sometimes more elegant. But let's talk about people who bring their seemingly crazy ideas to life.
1. Thomas Edison. He has a huge number of inventions to his credit. More than a thousand patents confirm this. An important factor is that hethere were many workers in the state who embodied all his ideas. Therefore, it is logical to assume that it has an indirect relation to some inventions, but this is no longer so important. Thanks to him, we have a kinescope and an electric light bulb.
2. Nicholas Tesla. This is truly an outstanding person. He had unique knowledge. He was little known during his lifetime, but now everyone hears his name. To him we owe the advent of electricity on a commercial basis. His modern inventions have expanded the knowledge of scientists about many things. Tesla held 111 patents.
3. George Westinghouse. Created a system of brakes for trains. In the future, this mechanism was improved and now we can safely ride in large cars and buses. He experimented a lot with the creation of a perpetual motion machine.
4. Jerome Hal Lemelson. Not as famous as Tesla, but despite this, he made a significant contribution to the technology of the 20th century. The invention of video cameras and tape recorders is proof of this. Robots in industry, warehouses with automation - all this is the work of Jerry. You will not believe, but it was this person who helped to detect cancer at different stages. Contributed to the development of television. Has over six hundred patents.
Modern inventions in technology
Scientists of the 20th and 21st centuries have worked hard and made it possible for amazing things to come into being. Many modern discoveries and inventions help both in everyday life and in education, production, science and medicine. New developmentsare carried out constantly. In the 20th century, a qualitative breakthrough was made in human thought, and this is confirmed by the many decisions in all areas of human existence.
3D printer allows you to print everything from a fountain pen to donor organs. This is truly a promising technology.
Large Hadron Collider. It was through this invention that the existence of such an element as the t-quark was confirmed. This created a sensation in the world of natural sciences. Many discoveries have been made thanks to the LHC.
A ship that allows space travel. Tourism in space is already the near future and is not science fiction. In the distant future, this will be relatively inexpensive, but now travelers will have to spend a lot of money for such an opportunity.
Discoveries in medicine
Modern inventions in medicine deserve special attention. This part of human life is truly multifaceted. It's hard to imagine so many areas in which research and discoveries are being made.
Medicine does not stand still and every year new drugs, devices, technologies appear.
One such outstanding invention is the artificial heart. This is a unique option for people who are afraid to transplant someone else's. It completely imitates the work of a real heart, thanks to special sensors.
The second important invention is nanorobots that will remove cancer cells. So far, experiments have been carried out only on animals, but this yearplan to conduct studies on people who have a last stage of cancer and a life expectancy of several months. If this disease can be cured with the help of these little robots, it will be a huge breakthrough in the world of medicine.
Printed organs. Everyone knows that almost anything can be done with 3D printers. Recently, such a technique for printing fabrics has been created. So far, experiments are being carried out on mice. After it is clear that there is no rejection of new organs, then, perhaps, they will begin the production of organs to save people's lives.
Innovation for everyday life
Such inventions do not claim to be universally recognized and sometimes they are funny or useless. But it is worth considering some of them.
1. Hot knife. Very comfortably. Allows you to save time and not wait until the oil melts a little.
2. Mirror on the ironing board. This is especially true for women. You just iron the thing, turn the board over and see how it sits on you. Ideal for small apartments.
3. Umbrella with cup holder. Convenient for busy people. The handle has a hole for coffee or tea. You can have a drink on the way to work.
4. Flask tie. On a hot day, you always want to drink. Pour water into your tie and you won't be thirsty.
5. Navigator shoes.
Life-Changing Inventions
Anesthesia. In the form in which we see it now, it appeared in the middle of the 19th century. This made it possible to carry out more operations without fear of pain.patient.
Radio. Transmission of information "over the air" previously seemed unthinkable. Now it's business as usual.
Telephone. The means of communication allowed to expand the boundaries of human communication.
Plastic. A huge number of things are made from it in our daily life.
Russian innovators
In the USSR and modern Russia there were and are many outstanding personalities. Modern left-handers or Russian masters and their inventions have brought many wonderful discoveries to their country and the world.
Korolev made a huge contribution to the development of the space industry. He invented the first satellite of the Earth and a ballistic missile. Created a space ship. Sergei Pavlovich was a key person in the development of astronautics. The launch of the first man into space was made under his control.
Demikhov is the first person in the world to perform an organ transplant. In this case, it was the lungs and the heart. In the years when Vladimir Petrovich worked, such experiments were considered immoral, but he did not give up and performed thousands of organ transplants in dogs. He always pursued only one, the highest goal - to help sick people and prolong their lives. Today, organ transplants are not new, and all thanks to the efforts of one person.
Kurchatov created the world's first nuclear power plant. And Tsiolkovsky made a huge contribution to astronautics, more details about his work can be found in books or in the museum of the same name.
What is the best invention in the 21st century?
It's really hard to pinpoint anything in particular. Many modern inventions make an invaluable contributionin the development of mankind.
However, there is one thing worth mentioning that may have brought this article to you. These are social networks. We remember that the Internet itself was invented in the twentieth century, but the means of communication appeared already in the current one. Now it is very easy to find a friend. Many complexes can be disguised during virtual communication. Information is now spreading with great speed. This is one of the most significant technologies for the development of human relations at the moment.
