 Historical Point of Views in Science and Technology: 20th Century

20th century inventions were hugely influenced by major developments in technology

and resources, enabling the inventions of key items and devices which changed the way we live
today.

1900

 The zeppelin invented by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin.

1907

 Electric washing machine was invented by Alva J. Fisher

1909

 Instant coffee was invented by G. Washington.

1910

 Thomas Edison demonstrated the first talking motion picture.

1913

 Mary Phelps Jacob invents the bra.

1920
 SUBMACHINE GUNS
 Submachine gun, lightweight automatic small-arms weapon chambered for
relatively low-energy pistol cartridges and fired from the hip or shoulder.

 Germans developed the first such weapons, modeling them to some extent after
the Italian double-barreled Villar Perosa, or VP, a 1915 innovation that fired so
fast it emptied its magazine in two seconds
1921

 INSULIN

 The discovery of insulin occurred in 1921 following the ideas of a Canadian orthopedic
surgeon named Frederick G. Banting, the chemistry skills of his assistant Charles Best,
and John MacLeod of the University of Toronto in Canada.
1926

 AEROSOL SPRAY
  An aerosol is a gaseous suspension (hanging) into air of solid or liquid particles.
The word "aerosol" also refers to the dispenser or package used to change the
ingredient inside the container into an aerosol.
 Eric Rotheim discovered that a product could be sprayed from an
aluminium can that had been injected with gas or liquid to build pressure.

1942

 NUCLEAR REACTION
 Chicago Pile 1 was the world's first nuclear reactor, built in 1942 by Nobel Prize
winner Enrico Fermi. The reactor was built underneath the University of
Chicago's Stagg Field football stadium. On Dec. 2, 1942, Enrico Fermi and 48 of
his colleagues succeed in achieving in this reactor the world’s first man-made
controlled nuclear chain reaction, thereby establishing the ability of mankind to
control the release of nuclear energy.

1943

 AQUALUNG
 The aqualung was invented in Paris, France, in 1943. The inventors were an
engineer named Émile Gagnan, and a French navy Lieutenant named Jacques
Cousteau. The aqualung let people bring air with them when they went under
water, without needing a hose to the surface. The modern name for the
aqualung is SCUBA, meaning Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

1944

 Kidney dialysis Machine

 The first type of dialyzer, then called the artificial kidney, was built in 1943 by
Dutch physician Willem Kolff. Kolff had first gotten the idea of developing
a machine to clean the blood after watching a patient suffer from kidney failure.

1960

 Etch A Sketch by: Arthur Granjean

 Fench Inventor/ Toy Maker and Kite Designer
 Produced Etch A Sketch in july 12, 1960
 Invented a toy called "LECRAN MAGIQUE"
 OHIO ART is the producer
 1966

 Hand-held Calculator by: Jack St. Clair Kilby, Jerry D. Merry Man and James H. Van
Tassel
 Invented in Texas Can produce and solve more mathematical equation
 Battery Operated Case a huge changes in the field of business and education

1961

 Balloon Catheter by: Thomas Fogarthy

 Embolectomy balloon catheter
 Medical Use
 Use for clood clot removal and opening small vainscommonly used in minima;
surgery ;ike angioplasty

1968

 Computer Mouse by: Douglas Engelbart

 Invented mouse in the Fall Joint Computer Conference in Dan Francisco
 Convenience and Revolutionized
 Common pointing device

1980

 Abortion Pills

Mifepristone, also known as RU-486, is a medication typically used in

combination with misoprostol to bring about an abortion during pregnancy. This
combination is 97% effective during the first 63 days of pregnancy. It is also effective in
the second trimester of pregnancy. Effectiveness should be verified two weeks after
use. It is taken by mouth.
Mifepristone was developed in 1980 and came into use in France in 1987. It
became available in the United States in 2000. It is on the World Health Organization's
List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health
system. Mifepristone was approved by Health Canada in 2015 and became available in
Canada in January 2017.

 Hepatitis B Vaccines
Hepatitis B is an infection of your liver. It can cause scarring of the organ, liver
failure, and cancer. It can be fatal if it isn’t treated.
 The first hepatitis B vaccine became commercially available in the United States
in 1982.

1984

 Macintosh Computer
Steve Jobs is the founder of Apple Macintosh. With the 1984 Apple Macintosh
Steve Jobs made sure developers created software for the new Macintosh Computer.
Jobs figured that software was the way to win the consumer over.
The early 1980s. 1981 – Apple II has become the world’s most popular computer,
and Apple has grown to a 300 million dollar corporation, becoming the fastest growing
company in American business history.

1989

 World Wide Web

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a network of online content that is formatted in
HTML and accessed via HTTP. The term refers to all the interlinked HTML pages that can
be accessed over the Internet. The World Wide Web was originally designed in 1991 by
Tim Berners-Lee while he was a contractor at CERN.

1990

 Hubble Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. Hubble is as long as a
large school bus and weighs as much as two adult elephants.
The scope was shot into the sky on April 24, 1990.
It marked the biggest leap forward in Astronomy since Galileo turned his
telescope toward the heavens in 1610.
NASA named the telescope after American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble who
confirmed an “expanding” universe, which provided the foundation for the big-bang
theory.

1995

 Java Computer Language

Java is a general-purpose programming language that is class-based, object-
oriented, and designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is
intended to let application developers write once, run anywhere (WORA), meaning
 that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for
recompilation. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on
any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying computer architecture.
Java is a programming language and environment invented by James Gosling and
others in 1994.

2000

 Ginger Segway
after initial reports of a revolutionary personal people-mover from famed
inventor dean kamen surfaced, along with kudos from steve jobs (apple ceo) and jeff
bezos (amazon ceo) at a private demonstration, the device code-named ginger, and
alternately referred to simply as “it,” drew tremendous media attention.
today, it has finally been revealed and demonstrated publicly, officially
named segway. segway is a two-wheeled device with a pole and handlebars for balance
that a user stands on.
