A.

Processed Food
 The history of processed food can be traced back to the time of Egyptians and
even earlier. In Egypt pharaohs and queens are given food and drinks to be an
offering to bring in their voyage into the afterlife. Salt-cured fish and fowl were
among the many provisions entombed. Egyptians have been using salt to extend
the lifetime of food for at least 4,000 years. Salt curing has been a preferred way
to preserve food, used to preserve food during cold winters, distant wars, or long
expedition to new worlds. Salt is used in meat processing to generate pinkish
shade and to extend shelf life. It prevents or slows the spoilage by bacteria or
fungus.
B. Radio (transistor)
 A German scientist Heinrich Hertz proved the existence of radio waves, which
occur in nature. In 1895, a young Italian named Gugliemo Marconi invented what
he called “the wireless telegraph”. He is also known as the “Father of Radio”. He
used radio waves to transmit Morse code and the instrument he used became
known as the radio. In 1906, he shared the Nobel Prize for physics with Ferdinand
Braun, a German, in recognition of their contribution to the development of
wireless telegraphy.
C. Guns
 The first firearms in the world, according to the National Rifle Association’s
National Firearms Museum, were probably cannons. In the mid-14th century,
personal “hand cannons” or “hand gonnes” were being carried by soldiers in
Europe. On the coming couple of centuries, matchlocks, wheel locks and
flintlocks were introduced. Sen. Bob Smith (R-N.H.) in 1999 said that “The first
gun in America probably came here in 1607, when colonists first landed”. Even in
the 15th century with ships voyaging sailors can be seen carrying guns to protect
and to use when invading a place.
D. Internet
 the first practical schematics for the internet would not arrive until the
early 1960s, when MIT’s J.C.R. Licklider popularized the idea of an
“Intergalactic Network” of computers. Shortly thereafter, computer
scientists developed the concept of “packet switching,” a method for
effectively transmitting electronic data that would later become one of
the major building blocks of the internet. On October 29, 1969,
ARPAnet delivered its first message: a “node-to-node” communication
from one computer to another. (The first computer was located in a
research lab at UCLA and the second was at Stanford; each one was the
size of a small house.) The message—“LOGIN”—was short and simple,
but it crashed the fledgling ARPA network anyway: The Stanford
computer only received the note’s first two letters. The technology
continued to grow in the 1970s after scientists Robert Kahn and Vinton
Cerf developed Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, or
 TCP/IP, a communications model that set standards for how data could
be transmitted between multiple networks.

E. Cell phones
 Mobile phones, particularly the smartphones that have become our inseparable
companions today, are relatively new. However, the history of mobile phones
goes back to 1908 when a US Patent was issued in Kentucky for a wireless
telephone. Mobile phones were invented as early as the 1940s when engineers
working at AT&T developed cells for mobile phone base stations. The very first
mobile phones were not really mobile phones at all. They were two-way radios
that allowed people like taxi drivers and the emergency services to communicate.
Instead of relying on base stations with separate cells (and the signal being passed
from one cell to another), the first mobile phone networks involved one very
powerful base station covering a much wider area. Motorola, on 3 April 1973
were first company to mass produce the first handheld mobile phone. These early
mobile phones are often referred to as 0G mobile phones, or Zero
Generation mobile phones. Most phones today rely on 3G or 4G mobile
technology.
