Technology has had a huge impact on the universe ever since the first tools were created. Everything that has been discovered or invented in terms of technology has rapidly revolutionized to create the technology we have today. Every invention comes from the basic idea of ​​another piece of technology to improve or create something much better than before. There are six main categories of technology: transportation, science and mathematics, construction, manufacturing, communications, and other technologies. The first category of technology is transportation. The steam engine was invented by Thomas Torricelli in 1698. The hot air balloon was invented in 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers. The steamboat was invented in 1791 by John Fitch. The electric motor was invented in 1821 by Michael Faraday. A very important invention was the petrol engine in 1859 by Etienne Lenoir. Another important invention was the mechanical submarine in 1862 by Narcis Estarriol. One form of everyday transportation was the motorcycle in 1885 by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Diesel fuel was invented in 1891 by Rudolf Diesel. An invention that surprises me the most is the revolutionary powered airplane invented in 1903 by Wilbur and Orville Wright. It was the first airplane ever made and now everyone uses it to travel around the world or the country. Then the transport helicopter was invented in 1907 by Paul Cornu. The jet engine was invented thirty years later, in 1937, by Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain. Another category is science and mathematics. There are some important inventions in this form of technology that have brought us to where we are today. The thermometer was invented in 1593 by Galileo Galilei. The telescope was an invention... middle of paper... the video camera was invented in 1983 by the Sony Company. Everything about technology is important because it allows us to interact with each other and do things we could never have imagined. imagined. In a century there may be inventions in the technological aspect that we always thought were impossible to achieve. Human beings will always create new ideas and inventions that prove to be revolutionary every day. Every invention is important because you never know what idea it will inspire next.
