cultural representatives was commissioned by the British

people outside the United Kingdom, William Shakespeare is the
main representative of English culture.

government body that promotes British culture abroad and is
part of a study to be released later this year. year about how the
United Kingdom is perceived beyond its borders.

2. The thermos

Very practical nowadays, invented by a Scottish scientist

named James Dewar. He studied cryogenics, with a flask

coincidences of life... he invented the thermos with which
we carry coffee and other hot drinks.

3. Disc brakes.

Regarded as one of the "big three" English

automobile engineers (the other two being
Harry Ricardo and Henry Royce), Frederick W.
Lanchester created the Lanchester Motor
Company in 1899 to sell cars to the public.
The car he presented had a brake system that
combined the clutch and the brakes. This team
was the forerunner of modern disc brakes in
cars, an invention we are grateful for when we
have to make sudden stops.

In this format, visitors will be able to appreciate the
first steam locomotive, built by the English
engineer Richard Trevithick in 1803, and the
Rocket, manufactured in 1829 by George
Stephenson.

5. Christmas postcards.
Among the things that are surprising when living in Britain is the
number of greeting card shops… just postcards. Well, the origin
comes from when Sir Henry Cole commissioned the first
Christmas cards, in 1843, from the illustrator John Calcott Horsley.
The first design featured three generations of the family toasting
the card recipient, with scenes of people offering food and
clothing to those in need. Cole had two batches totaling 2,050
cards printed and sold each card for a shilling, which meant the
creation of the mass-produced commercial greeting cards.

Not a few are those who think that Alexander Graham Bell was

telephone in the US.

7. The Computer
The invention that nobody has been able to
live without in the last 20 years… the
computer, used for everything. Sir Charles
Babbage was the ideologue of "Analytical
Computing", and his studies theoretically put a
'machine' that could perform arithmetic
operations automatically using perforated
cardboard. Although he never saw them in his
lifetime, the calculating machine became real
in the 1940s, just as he designed it.

8. Internet (World Wide Web).

After computers, the other great invention was the

connection between all of them. What we know as the
"Internet" was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, another
Briton. In March 1989, Sir Berners-Lee presented a proposal
for a more efficient communication system for CERN, but he
soon realized that it had even greater implications. In 1990,
he used a NeXT computer as the first World Wide Web
server and to write the first web browser.

9. The mousetrap.
Not as fascinating as inventing the 'internet', but
useful on the same level as the rest. Many are
always trying to come up with a better thing to
catch rats, but it was James Henry Atkinson who
invented the first one. In 1898, he patented a
spring-loaded mouse trap called the "Little Nipper".
It is Atkinson's design that turned out to be the
most popular, the one that triggers the trap once a
mouse is placed on the pedal.

10. The light switch
A device used by every person who walks into a dark room. John
Henry Holmes invented the first safe and fast commutation in 1884
in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In the previous switches, the formation of
an electric arc could cause stings or 'sparks' with contact to people,
apart from damaging the mechanism, reducing the use of operation
over time. Holmes's switch ensured that the contacts would
separate well quickly, lengthening its use. It is still built into most
light switches used today.

 Conclusion
Es un país que ha sido cimiento de grandes e importantes sistemas que luego se han
copiado hacia otros países. El sistema jurídico, la iglesia anglicana y el idioma inglés
(que es el más utilizado a nivel mundial) son algunos de los aportes de este país que se
han extendido por todo el mundo.
