1ST INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

A Scotsman named James Watt invented an engine that was run by steam. Once inventors
learned about the steam engine they began to experiment with using it to run boats. The first man to
build a steamboat in the United States was John Fitch.

A light bulb is a device that produces light from electricity.[1] In addition to lighting a dark
space, they can be used to show an electronic device is on, to direct traffic, for heat, and many other
purposes. Billions are in use, some even in outer space.

A telephone is a telecommunications device that permits two or more users to conduct a

conversation when they are too far apart to be heard directly. A telephone converts sound, typically and
most efficiently the human voice, into electronic signals that are transmitted via cables and other
communication channels to another telephone which reproduces the sound to the receiving user.

The production of iron from its ore involves an oxidation-reduction reaction carried out in a
blast furnace. Iron ore is usually a mixture of iron and vast quantities of impurities such as sand and clay
referred to as gangue. The iron found in iron ores are found in the form of iron oxides.

A textile is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibers (yarn or

thread). Yarn is produced by spinning raw fibers of wool, flax, cotton, hemp, or other materials to
produce long strands. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting or tatting, felting, or
braiding.
2ND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

An electrical telegraph was a point-to-point text messaging system, used from the 1840s until
better systems became widespread. It used coded pulses of electric current through dedicated wires to
transmit information over long distances.

Typewriters are electromechanical or mechanical equipment that produce characters by

pressing ink upon paper. Johann Gutenberg invented the idea of a printer which applied the concept of
the movable type.

Cameras have evolved over the years from the camera obscure to the numerous generations of
photographic technologies which include films, dry plates, collotypes, daguerreotypes and finally the
present day digital cameras.

In 1892 the first gasoline-powered tractor was invented by John Froelich.

The tractor was developed in a small village in Northeast Iowa. At the time steam-powered
engines were used to thresh wheat.

Escalators are power-driven stairs arranged in an endless belt-like manner which descend or
ascend while transporting people between floors.
3RD INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

A computer is a machine or device that performs processes, calculations and

operations based on instructions provided by a software or hardware program. It is designed to
execute applications and provides a variety of solutions by combining integrated hardware and
software components.

The Internet carries many network services, most prominently the World Wide Web,
including social media, electronic mail, mobile applications, multiplayer online
games, Internet telephony, file sharing, and streaming media services.

Robert Dennard was the man who redesigned and modified it to create Dynamic
Random Access Memory (DRAM). His insights into how RAM could function more efficiently
over a smaller space mean that computers got more memory for less cost and, frankly, took up
less space.

Unix is an operating system. It supports multi-tasking and multi-user functionality.Unix is

most widely used in all forms of computing systems such as desktop, laptop, and servers.
On Unix, there is a Graphical user interface similar to windows that support easy navigation and
support environment.
4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

The Xbox adaptive controller is here to make the gaming world more inclusive.
The Microsoft developed Xbox Adaptive Controller is here to help those with limited
hand and arm mobility play games.

A common New Year’s resolution centers around the idea of kicking some sort of
bad habit. HabitAware is here to make your life a little easier. As a friendly reminder,
the fashionable Keen band vibrates anytime it catches you doing the bad habit you are
trying to shake.

Gravity is here to help you combat your anxiety. Starting off as a Kickstarter
campaign, the company Gravity has created a therapeutic weighted blanket engineered to
be around 10% of your body weight. The super comfy blanket helps those who have a
sleeping problem, who may be stressed, or deal with anxiety.

Getting separated from friends or a family member at an event or festival can be
