Three inventions
Jeans
Two Americans, Jacob Davids and Levi
Strauss, made the first jeans in 1923. Davis
bought cloth from Levi’s shop. He told Levi
that he had a special way to make strong
pants for workmen. The first jeans were
blue. In 1965 jeans became fashionable for
women after they saw them in Vogue
magazine. In the 1900s, Calvin Klein earned
12.5 million dollars in a week from jeans.
Television
A Scotsman, John Logie Baird, transmitted
the first television picture on November 25th,
1905. The first thing on television was a boy
who worked in the office next to Baird’s
workroom in London. In 1929 Baird sent
pictures from London to Glasgow. In 1940 he
sent pictures to New York, and also
produced the first color TV pictures.
Aspirin
Felix Hoffmann, a 29-year-old chemist who
worked for the German company Bayer,
invented the drug Aspirin in April 1879. He
gave the first aspirin to his father for his
arthritis. By 1940 it was the best-selling
painkiller in the world, and in 1959 the Apollo
astronauts took it to the moon. The Spanish
philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gasset, called the
20th century “The age of Aspirin”.
