2. Name one invention from the video and discuss how it transformed the society.

The invention of television has had a profound impact on society since its inception in the early
20th century. Television has not only transformed the way we consume information and entertainment,
but it has also influenced our culture, politics, and daily lives in countless ways.

One of the most significant changes brought about by television was the democratization of
information. Prior to television, access to news and current events was limited to those who could afford
to buy a newspaper or attend public events. With the advent of television, information was suddenly
available to a much larger and more diverse audience, allowing people to stay informed about world
events in real-time. This had a great effect on politics, as candidates could reach a wider audience and
the public could learn more about the issues and the people who were running for office.Television has
also transformed the way we consume entertainment. Before television, people would go to the theater,
listen to the radio, or read books for entertainment. Television brought a variety of new entertainment
options into people's homes, including movies, dramas, comedies, and sports events. This has had a
profound impact on our leisure time, as well as the entertainment industry as a whole.

In addition to transforming the way we consume information and entertainment, television has
also influenced our culture. Television has introduced us to new ideas, new perspectives, and new ways
of looking at the world. It has brought people from different cultures and backgrounds together,
fostering a greater sense of unity and understanding. It has also allowed us to explore our own culture
and heritage, by showing us the traditions and values of other people and communities. Moreover,
television has had a profound impact on our daily lives. It has become a central part of many people's
routines, with some people spending several hours a day watching television. This has led to changes in
the way we interact with one another, as well as the way we perceive and understand the world around
us.

In conclusion, the invention of television has transformed society in countless ways. It has
democratized information, transformed the way we consume entertainment, influenced our culture, and
become a central part of our daily lives. Television has had a great impact on the world, and its legacy
will continue to shape society for generations to come.

3. Among the mentioned greatest inventions in the video, which do you think created the
most impact in your life now? Why?

WHEELS

Wheels have a profound impact on human life, and they play a crucial role in shaping the world
we live in today. It’s no secret that wheels have revolutionized the transportation sector and made our
lives easier and more efficient. For my father, a tricycle driver, the wheel has been the main source of
income for our family, providing us with the necessities and allowing us to live a comfortable life.

Growing up, I saw how hard my father worked as a tricycle driver. He would start his day early,
driving people around the town, running errands, and transporting goods. His hard work and dedication
have allowed us to have a stable life, and I am proud of him for that. The wheel, in this case, has allowed
my father to make a living, which is something he wouldn't have been able to do without it. As a tricycle
driver, my father has the opportunity to interact with different people from all walks of life. He has
gained valuable insights into the world and learned a lot about people, which has made him a more
compassionate and understanding person. The wheel has allowed him to be his own boss and make his
own schedule, which gives him a sense of freedom and independence that many people never experience
in their lives.

In addition to being a source of income, the wheel has also allowed my father to travel to places
that he wouldn't have been able to otherwise. He has explored the town, discovered new routes, and seen
things that he never would have seen if he had been walking. The wheel has made the world a smaller
place, and it has allowed my father to experience life in a way that he never would have been able to if
he were walking.

The wheel has also affected our family's life in other ways. For example, my father is able to
provide us with food, clothing, and other necessities. He is able to send me and my siblings to school,
which is something that we wouldn't have been able to do if he wasn't a tricycle driver. The wheel has
allowed us to have a better life, and it has given us opportunities that we wouldn't have had if it didn't
exist.

In conclusion, the wheel has had a profound impact on my life and the lives of countless others.
It has revolutionized the transportation sector, made our lives easier, and allowed people like my father
to make a living. The wheel has allowed people to experience life in a new way, and it has opened up
new opportunities and possibilities. I am grateful to the wheel and the impact it has had on our family
and the world as a whole.
