THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES , INVENTIONS TO IMPROVE LIFE

  • 2

    Locomotive

    The first locomotive was created in 1802 and was built by Richard Trevithick. I think it is a good invention to be able to move a lot of things over long distances easily, it could also be used to carry a lot of people.
  • Typewriter

    In 1829, William Austin Burt patented a machine called a typesetter. It was called the "first" typewriter. I Think it was a good invention to write important things and send them elsewhere, it was also used as a form of communication through letters.
  • Anaesthetic

    The first anaesthetic was unvented in 1846 by William Thomas Green Morton. William was an odontologist and was the first person who used the anesthetic. I think that was a very good invention to medicine in that epoch, because the pople they would no longer suffer so much pain when performing operations.
  • Lift

    The first public use of the lift as such took place in New York on 23 March 1857 and was the brainchild of Elisha Graves Otis. Its first installation was in a five-storey building.
  • Telephone

    Was invented in 1854 by the Italian Antonio Meucci. The purpose was simple: to connect his office to the bedroom so that he could talk to his sick wife who was immobile in bed due to a serious illness.
  • Clinic Termometer

    In 1866, Thomas Clifford Allbutt invented the clinical thermometer, which was a closed thermometer approximately 15 cm long, capable of measuring a patient's temperature in 20 minutes. The thermometer continued to be improved until the development of the digital thermometer.
  • Incandescent Lamp

    Thomas Edison was the first to patent an incandescent carbon filament light bulb, viable outside the laboratory, i.e. commercially viable. He patented it on 27 January 1880.
    This invention helped to did more inventios.
  • Car

    On 29 January 1886, Carl Benz patented his three-wheeled "petrol-engined motor vehicle", and it was considered the day of the birth of the automobile. This invention changes how people move, I think that was a technological advance in the history, people could travel further in less time and things could be transported from one place to another more easily.
  • COCA-COLA

    At Jacobs Pharmacy in Atlanta, pharmacist John Stith Pemberton began marketing a syrup designed to combat digestion problems and provide energy. I think thats was a good invention because the people used like medicine and was very good taste, thios helped people to drink.
  • Aspirin

    On 10 August 1897, the young German chemist Felix Hoffmann discovered one of the substances that has relieved the most headaches in the world, acetylsalicylic acid.
