There are numerous amounts of inventions, especially when talking about the United States. Over the centuries, society has begun to use more and more technology. The U.S. has produced amazing inventions, but I see the telephone, the automobile, the airplane, and even the computer as the most important inventions. In order to ranks these inventions one must look at how they benefit communication, society, and how the world functions with it.
Technology has been the answer for civilization for quite a while. It would be nearly impossible for this current society to function without technology due to the ongoing advancements. Technology is providing more and more way to communicate throughout the entire world. Communication through technology

has created an environment of shared information and at incredible speeds. “Communication technology tools like electronic mail and text messaging systems, speed up the sending of information …” (Ramey 1). Each invention has a specific way on how they benefit communication, society, and how the world functions. Alexander Graham Bell did his part by inventing the telephone. I see the telephone as the best invention due to its ability to benefit the world, society, and communication. Telephones are able to connect the world through communication. Its major benefit is that people have the ability to communicate from wherever in the world at high rates of speed. “The sender and the receiver can be separated by vast distances but their communication is still direct and no interference is required through a messenger” (Kang 1). It is an everyday and all purpose tool. Communication is critical in the world, so when the telephone was invented most things became easier. Society has depended on the telephone for a while due to it being a vital resource for education, entertainment, homes, and businesses. The telephone is an incredible benefit to the society. “It has changed the pace of business and made the world smaller and more accessible to all” (Kang 1). The telephone extended how people could interact with each other. I also see the telephone as the best invention because of how much of an impact it has on the world. The telephone makes it very easy for important powers around the world to communicate, which creates a quick learning and easier world. However, the telephone is not the only invention to benefit the world, society, and communication. The Ford brothers changed the world completely. “The automobile has been a key force for change in twentieth-century America” (“Automobiles” 1). The automobile is a very important invention and therefore I put it also as an important invention. Reliability is this inventions best benefit, since it replaced riding on horses and walking to get place to place. It was able to create a faster way to travel and this ultimately benefited communication, the society, and the world. It became an integrated part of life by people driving to work, families visiting each other over great distances, or even finding a new way for people to communicate. It has become society’s backbone due to how many people truly use it. The car helped society became even more modernized. Benefiting the world and society by allowing people to reach important destinations. The automobile allowed people to get an education, a job, and greater, a success. This revolutionize the way the world lives, works, and plays. The automobile did not just help society, the world, but it also bettered communication. This invention was able to bring together people in numerous ways. Just by getting in a car with someone, you can engage in a conversation over almost anything. The car has given many people the opportunity to connect from completely different places. The car has replaced the process of sending a letter. Today people can easily take the time to be face to face with a person, instead of having to go through all the trouble of sending a letter. Now America and the world depend on cars for many reasons. “The automobile changed the architecture of the typical American dwelling, altered the conception and composition of the urban neighborhood, and freed homemakers from the narrow confines of the home” (“Automobiles” 1). Similar to the automobile, the airplane was able to shape our culture significantly.
The difference between the automobile and the airplane is that the airplane is able to travel to the greatest distances. It replaced how people would go to other parts of the world. That is why I see this invention really to be another top invention due to how it benefited the society and the world. “If you are from another country, you can use products and food made in your country without traveling to that country” (Sridharan 6). This shows the importance of the airplane. It is something that has truly brought the world together, since we are able to now travel to more places and learn about even more things. The way it benefited the society was how America invented a faster way to get more imported goods. Airplanes are not only just a way to travel, but also another way to get something. Before the airplane, ships took months and even years to send something that is very easy to get in today’s society. The airplane was able to replace this method, and now society can get something from half way across the world in a matter of days. This technology is breathtaking due to how far it really advanced. The airplane has its few benefits in communication as well. “The airplane has brought us closer together to people, friends, and family far away” (Sridharan 6). Realizing what the airplane does for people, one can say it is a benefit to communication. Now people are able to places that have an immense distance from where they are. Showing how reliable the airplane is for people to communicate with people from all over the
world. 2016 would not be 2016 without the computer. Charles Babbage did his part in inventing the computer. Now they have become something that is used everyday for individuals. Computers have impacted our society, the world, and communication like no other invention. I see the computer as an extremely important invention in America. I recognize them for their importance simply due to how essential they are in the society and the world. Computers are used in almost all business all around the world. They are used so much because of its ability to be efficient and get work done. The computer has the power to storage large amounts of information, especially when it comes down to businesses. Computers also made its way to the education systems. Today, computers are used in almost every school. “Computers in higher learning institutions will help the professors and researchers to do their work very fast and in an efficient and better way and also help them to share the same knowledge with their other members of staff” (“The Importance Of Computers” 1). Computers are very important when it comes to communication. They are playing a part in the media and entertainment industries. They were able to change how to provide entertainment and newer ways to communicate. Computers have also made advancements due to its rapid growth. Now the computer can consist of laptops and tablets. These help the world further engage in using them anywhere to its fullest. “Today, everything related to your everyday life can be done using computers” (“The Importance Of Computers” 1). People are communicating through computers everyday. You can contact people through your computer, either through the Internet or if it has built in messaging. The computer has an amazing impact on the world, society, and communication. It is definitely one of the best inventions in the world. Technology is still advancing today. Now people are taking these incredible inventions and attempting to create something even better. When Karehka Ramey explained how communication technology is helping the world by improving the speed of sending information, I really got an understanding on how important all these inventions are. “Using technology as a youth helps students adapt to a changing world in a way that will benefit them when they eventually have to live and work in it” (Detwiler 1). Considering how useful all these different inventions are to people, one can really say the best inventions are us. People have been developing the skills to come up with these ideas over endless centuries. It is outstanding how far human civilization has become. When looking on how advanced the United States are, you can get a broad understanding by looking at its past. Many inventions that are crucial to everyday living have been created in the U.S. Now that more and more technology is being used, it is going to be a time when people will be looking back on the technology we use today. They will see how some of the top inventions came from the U.S., like the computer, the airplane, the automobile, and the telephone. They will see how those inventions change society, the world, and communication as a whole.
There have been many inventions throughout history and some of them have been a lot more helpful than others. The GPS, the Pacemaker, and the cell phone are all very important innovations made to the new world. Without these modern day inventions a lot of thing and the way we interact would be different
This time period also saw many new inventions that would change American society forever. Such things as the telephone, radio, and television are things that the average present day American could not imagine living without. But a hundred years ago people were amazed at such things. Railroads were now able to bring people all over the country while steam ships could bring you all around the world and airplanes could let you fly. The horseless carriage turned into the automobile.
One of the main reasons that the automobile has changed America for the better is because of its effect it has had on transportation. For example, with the invention of the automobile came a need for highways this allowed easy travel for people to get to work or to go on vacations. It also had a huge effect one the war. The automobile allowed soldiers to haul weapons food and other supplies. The automobile also allowed soldiers to get from battlefield to battlefield quick and easily. with the invention of the automobile gave a whole new mea...
Technology, what is it? It’s usually something new, and better than the old idea. Technology started with cars, stoves, TV, radios, etc. Cars takes somebody from one place to another, faster than walking, running, or biking and one could go places without getting tired. Stoves allowed one to conveniently be able to turn on and off heat to a cooking utensil with less clean up. The biggest contributor to making our lives easier would be computers, which has come a long way since its introduction to the world. Also, computers have the ability to be improved more, and more in time. In general, technology started off by comforting our lives. Now, the rapid growth of technology has replaced the need for one’s own intellect.
Many of these new inventions shape the future for us; for example, the telephone helped us communicate with other people from around the world. Like for us right now, we cannot live without phones; our lives would be nothing without the telephone. Another great advancement was the railroad, it allowed us to travel much easier and much faster, it also allowed us to trade much easier. Nowadays most things are transported by train, airplane, ships. But back in the day they had to transport stuff by horse and wagon, that’s what motivated them to create the railroad that made every day much easier.
Gunpowder, the vaccine, blood transfusion, the telescope, surgery, the submarine, the barometer, the submarine, and the microscope are all great inventions that helped change the way people live today. They are some of many scientific inventions that changed the way of life for people.
The American Revolution aimed for freedom, but racial inequalities still posed challenges. While it brought ideas of fairness, racial problems still needed fixing. From the start of the Revolution, there were conflicts between wanting equality and keeping racial bias. Black people faced hurdles like slavery and limited rights, but the Revolution also sparked movements fighting to end slavery. It laid the groundwork for future fights for fairness that would gain more traction over time.
In this year Henry Ford created the first affordable, combustion engine car called the Model-T. The creation of the Model-T changed the lives of every American. Vehicles were looked at as a way of freedom and excitement. Soon after, every household in America had a car. The demand for vehicles sparked a whole new industry, creating jobs, more revenues and improving the American economy in every way. With so many vehicles on the roads, roads needed to become bigger and better which spawned a nation wide road construction. This also created more jobs and strengthened the economy even further. (Inventions: Car)
329) There was not one specific person who "invented the automobile," but, there were many people who contributed to the invention of the automobile.(Ingrassia, 5) (Boyne, 31) These people include Isaac Newton, who developed a power carriage in the fourteen twenties, and Joseph Cugnot, who built the first steam powered automobile in seventeen sixty nine. The first American to develop an automobile was Nathan Redd.(Brown, 329) The use of the automobile in the United States became common due to the convenience and reliability of a quick, easy to operate source of transportation. The American people began to build their homes further from their jobs, and further from civilization because they could commute back and forth much more quickly.(Simanaitis, 337) The convenience, reliability, and easy commute were only a few positive effects of the development of the automobile in the United States. The invention of the automobile also directly stimulated the economical growth and success of the United States.
Technology, like everything, has its ups and downs, you know, the pros and the cons.Technology makes everything so much easier for everyone. We can travel long distances, talk to our loved ones, and even entertain us. Technology has also made things safer for us.There have been so many technological advances through recent history that were created to keep people safe and away from harm, like fire alarms and air bags in motor vehicles. Technology has also made things much faster for us, such as travel. Cars, Planes, and Boats help many people get to different places around the globe in shorter amounts of time, and the internet has also made
Technology now literally controls the world and what goes on. The economy is dependent on the use of technology, but there are minor creation that don’t really have a use at all and can be done without it. So again my opinion is that technology is need in life, but at times it isn’t that use. Things that can be done by technology can sometimes be done by without it.
What invention has been the driving force of this world? It has given us the ability to communicate, to travel, to discover new things, to survive. Technology, years and years of evolution has allowed humans to invent a mass of innovative items that help us with everyday conflicts. We humans rely on technology as if it were our surrogate parent, aiding I am a strong believer in a human's ability to create something that is unprecedented and original that benefits the earth but sooner or later technology will catch up with its creators and eventually eradicate what we know as humanity. Technology doesn’t really have to be something that is classified as something technological.
I personally believe that technology is the key to success; it made countries all around the world grow from what some people thought to be uneducated into more developed and modernized countries. Without technology we wouldn’t have gotten this far, we wouldn’t have a simple and convenient life or even met new people from around the world. Technology is what everyone needs for a better life, but in order for it to benefit, we need to use it in the correct manner and not exploit it.
Throughout the years, there have been hundreds of inventions that have been created to change our way of life. These inventions have ranged from the beginning of time with the wheel through Thomas Edison’s invention of the light bulb, which had been used for years to keep houses lit. Possibly one of the greatest inventions in history that is still used today is the internet, which has made significant changes to how the day to day business is conducted.
Over the last few decades, technology has greatly increased its abilities. It started from the simple radio to now having cell phones which can surf the web. Technology has greatly influenced our society in many ways. Nowadays it has made family relationships have a different connection and has simplified people’s lives. A couple decades ago, a person would never had imagined to Skype a family member across the world. It would be like trying to imagine teleportation. It was unthinkable, but with moderation, technology has evolved for the better. With the new technology in our world, people are able to talk to their distant family members. People are also able to save time and watch a movie with their extra time. There are pros and cons to having technology nowadays. Yes, people are able to communicate faster and save money, but technology is also disconnecting them from the people around them. Technology has changed humanity for the better, but humans must know to use technology in moderation.
