Presidents and inventions

  • Period: to

    John Adams Presidency

  • Vaccine Invention

    Vaccine Invention
    Edward Jenner invents the vaccine. He goes around helping small developing villages by killing the smallpox epidemic. This shows that the John Adams administration was successful in prioritizing the big problems facing the country at the time. The smallpox epidemic was a huge problem, and it was one that needed to and got fixed.
  • Period: to

    Andrew Jackson Presidency

  • Refrigerator Invention

    Refrigerator Invention
    Jacob Perkins invents the refrigerator. The refrigerator was a very useful invention keeping food fresh for longer. As an aftermath of this invention, people didn't have to go to the store everyday to buy food, which saved a lot of time and money. People saving money meant a better economy under President Andrew Jackson.
  • Period: to

    Martin Van Buren Presidency

  • Telegraph Invention

    Telegraph Invention
    In 1838, the telegraph is invented by Charles Whetstone. President Martin Van Buren and the military under his command uses the telegraph to communicate long distance much faster. This invention helped the country be more successful at war.
  • Period: to

    Ulysses S. Grant Presidency

  • Photograph Invention

    Photograph Invention
    Thomas Edison invents the photograph in 1877. This invention didn't benefit the American people right away. As the photograph grew in popularity over time, history and events were documented with ease. This invention did not necessarily reflect on the quality of the Ullysses S. Grant presidency. Although the photograph is a useful invention that we use a lot today, I don't believe that this invention was a reflection on any of President Grant's accomplishments.
  • Period: to

    Theodore Roosevelt Presidency

  • Airplane Invention

    Airplane Invention
    The airplane was invented by the Wright Brothers in 1903. This was a very useful and helpful invention for America. The airplane quickly became a mode of quick transportation, and was also greatly used in war. This reflects on a successful presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Every president since Franklin d. Roosevelt in 1943 has used a private jet to go places. Also, the United States Air Force has been in fighter planes since they were founded in 1947.
  • Model T Invention

    Model T Invention
    The Model T was invented by Henry Ford in 1903. Another great invention under President Theodore Roosevelt. The Model T was immediately used across the country. This again reflects on a successful presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Soon after the invention, car companies just kept coming and sooner or later they were everywhere. So many people were granted a better life after the invention of the Model T, and that's why the Roosevelt Presidency was a successful one.
  • Period: to

    William Howard Taft Presidency

  • Radio Invention

    Radio Invention
    The radio as we know it today was invented in 1910. Ion January thirteenth that year, it was the first radio broadcast. Many families had radios in their homes like we do today. I don't believe that William Howard Taft's Presidency had an effect on the invention, but the invention certainly helped his presidency. Presidents from 1910 until now have broadcasted speeches and rallies on the radio. The radio was also a great help to the American people, giving easy access to news and information.
  • Period: to

    Calvin Coolidge Presidency

  • Antibiotics Invention

    Antibiotics Invention
    Antibiotics were invented in 1928 by Alexander Fleming. The antibiotics were helpful to Americans in a huge way. This invention was a huge help to the country under he Calvin Coolidge administration. Antibiotics made people live longer, and the population gradually increase-which led to the country needing more jobs. Although the country had some catching up to do after the invention, the country greatly benefited in the future because of it.
  • Period: to

    Harry S Truman Presidency

  • Microwave Invention

    Microwave Invention
    The microwave was invented in 1946 by Percy Spencer. This invention helped people speed up cooking at the house. Unlike the refrigerator, the microwave was used to help speed up cooking and not keep food fresher for longer. This made life easier on the families where both parents work full time. People didn't have to come home from work and start cooking right away to set up a meal for the family. This invention helped he economy because more people would save money and buy pre-made food.
  • Period: to

    George H. W. Bush Presidency

  • World Wide Web Invention

    World Wide Web Invention
    The World Wide Web was invented in 1990 by Tim Bernese-Lee. The invention quickly took the world by hand. Everybody wanted to be able to use the internet to gain access to information. At first, the country didn't use the internet in day to day life as we do now. We now can't go anywhere or do anything without using the world wide web. President George H. W. Bush's presidency was the first step into the future with the internet becoming such an important element in daily life.
