Now, though it originally was released for the purpose of news administrations, it eventually found its way to the consumer market, making it readily available for purchase! Our lives have been greatly impacted by this invention due to the fact, that for television entertainment, the scene production uses camcorders! This means, our favorite movies or even tv shows were brought to us from a camcorder!
  • DNA Fingerprinting

    DNA Fingerprinting
    Dr. Alec Jeffreys discovered the science behind genetic fingerprinting while studying as a geneticist at the University of Leicester. He used this magnificent discovery to mark the identity of two murderers who committed separate crimes nearby. Since then we have been able to drive our way to more enhanced identifiers. Detectives now have access to devices that are able to confirm not only the identity of a potential suspect but narrow down to the minute the incident may have occurred.
  • Microsoft Windows

    Well-known Bill Gates launched Microsoft Windows! This operating system initially relied solely on the control of a mouse, so it included a game that revolved on the perspective of the mouse to create a more user-friendly purpose.
