Invention: Top 10 Greatest Inventions in the Human History
1) The Wheel
Our first and foremost invention made by humans in their early civilization is the wheel. It is very common and fundamental in our daily life and at the time when it was invented it had less purposes. It was invented in between 4500-3300 BC in the Chalcolithic Era. The invention of wheel was not as hard as it was to adjust the wheel to a non-moving surface to make tranportation possible. But the fundamental invention of wheel made todays modern tranportation or any of wheel's derivative items possible.
2) The Nail
The nail in this list is not of our body instead we are talking about the iron nails that are used to fasten our furnitures or hang paintings on the wall. However the shape and size of the nails kept changing from its invention to todays date but its purpose has always been the same to fasten wooden pieces to make our furnitures or to help in construction of huge artifacts in the world. It was invented in around 3400 BC. Its transformation to screw is also great innovation.
3) The Compass
Compass helps us to navigate to any place in this world. But when it was invented in 206 BC during Han dynasty in China, it was used for fortune purpose. But later from 11th century it got its main use to navigate directions. Compass helped maps alot without their invention maps would be incorrect which would make todays transportation next to impossible. The Compass also helped for study to the researchers and their implementation in many fields helped to grow the study alot.
4) The Printing Press
Printing Press is also one of the greatest invention which was made by a Goldsmith and inventor, Johannes Gutenberg in 1440 A.D. Printing press helped to make datas available to large number of peoples by printing them in large scale and offering every interested person to get them. Even modern articles, magazines, theories, books, etc are only possible to be printed due to invention of Printing Press.
5) Engines
Another greatest invention made by human is the invention of engine. Primarily engines were steam engines which were invented by Thomas Savery in 1698 A.D. which used boiling water to create pressure and run the engine. But later in 1872, American George Brayton invented the internal combustion engine which was better version than steam engine as it had better weight to power ratio than the steam engines. So, it helped for the development of fast vehicles which are present today.
6) The Telephone
Telephone is also one of the greatest invention made by humans. Alexander Graham Bell, in 1876 invented the first telephone in human history which was able to communicate between people staying far from each other. His invention made todays communication possible. But we have better advanced gadgets for calls but the primary idea is most important which Bell gave in his invention of the telephone.
7) The Light Bulb
Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb after testing about 3000 tests in 1879 A.D. in Menlo Park. This invention can be said to bring human civilization out of the darkness. The invention of light bulb has played very magnificent role in the hostory of technology.
8) Vaccines
Inventions made on medical sector also contributed alot for human history like Vaccine. Edward Jenner invented vaccinology in 1796 which helped the invention of vaccines. If vaccines were not invented then we can't even imagine how many people would die annually due to lack of vaccine. And as it saved human history so it is one of the greatest invention of human history and will be till future.
9) The Computer
As we know that Charles Babbage is regarded as the father of computer due to invention of "Analytical Engine" in 1833. Because his invention worked on the principe of todays modern working computers. So, his invention can be taken as the base for development of computer. Computers have now covered every field and sector of development and contributed alot by making the work done more faster and more accurately.
10) The Internet
On January 1, 1983 A.D. ARPANET's researchers started creating "networks of networks" which created what we called today "Internet". And with no doubt we can say that it is also ths greatest invention ever made by human beings in history as Internet has made everything more simpler than before and it helps people to discover new things daily.
However this is not the end for the list of greatest inventions in human history because with the increase of time new inventions are also made and somewhere we can say that from wheel to anything invented to latest date their is some relation between them and each invention stands for its own significance which we can neglect so every invention is the greatest of its kind and none of them is less important.
