LCD was Created
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display, electronic visual display, or video display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals (LCs). LCDs are used in a wide range of applications, including computer monitors, television, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, signage, etc. They are common in consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. -
Email was created
Ray Tomlinson is the man responsible for the first electronic mailing device. At first he ment it to be used by him and his friends but soon it spread throughout the United States. -
Floppy Disk was created
A floppy disk is a disk storage medium composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic carrier. It was created in the USA by Alan Shugart. -
Genetic Engineering
this is the direct human manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. It involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism of interest. -
Creation of the Bar Code
is an optical machine-readable representation of data, which shows data about the object to which it attaches. Originally barcodes represented data by varying the widths and spacings of parallel lines, and may be referred to as one-dimensional. Later they evolved into rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two dimensions. Can be read by a bar code scanner. -
Bic invents the disposable lighter.
In 1973, Time reported that BIC was test marketing a disposable lighter that could provide 3,000 lights before wearing out. BIC introduced this lighter in 1973. -
Post-it-note was invented

Ink Jet Printer
A type of computer printer that creates a digital image by propelling droplets of ink onto paper. Inkjet printers are the most commonly used type of printer and range from small inexpensive consumer models to very large professional machines that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. -
MRI Scanner.
An MRI machine uses a powerful magnetic field to align the magnetization of some atomic nuclei in the body, and radio frequency fields to systematically alter the alignment of this magnetization. This causes the nuclei to produce a rotating magnetic field detectable by the scanner—and this informat -
Cell Phone Invented
This is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link whilst moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. Very important invention of the 1970's.
