1955—TV REMOTE CONTROL
1955—MICROWAVE OVEN
1957—BIRTH-CONTROL PILL
1962—LED
1962—COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE
1962-VIDEO GAMES
1969—SMOKE DETECTOR
1970—DIGITAL MUSIC
1973 Cellphone
1973—MRI

1957—BIRTH-CONTROL PILL! It's helpful in many ways. One is that your most likely to not have a baby. Two then many many baby's never see day.

1955—TV REMOTE CONTROL! One is that you don't have to get up but the downer on this is that I think since we dint have to get up then we started to gain weight.

Year unknown
Just when the first true rockets appeared is unclear. Stories of early rocket-like devices appear sporadically through the historical records of various cultures. Perhaps the first true rockets were accidents. In the first century A.D., the Chinese reportedly had a simple form of gunpowder made from saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal dust. To create explosions during religious festivals, they filled bamboo tubes with a mixture and tossed them into fires. Perhaps some of those tubes failed to explode and instead skittered out of the fires, propelled by the gases and sparks produced by the burning gunpowder.

I read the mp3 player and it said that is was the end of civilization and In 1861, Doctor Richard Gatling patented the Gatling Gun, a six-barreled weapon capable of firing a (then) phenomenal 200 rounds per minute.

The 16th century was a time of unprecedented change, the very beginning of the modern era of science, a time of great exploration, religious and political urmoil, and extraordinary literature.
The 19th century was the age of machine tools - tools that made tools - machines that made parts for other machines, including interchangeable parts. The assembly line was invented during the 19th century, speeding up the factory production of consumer good.

Leo Baekland invented the first synthetic plastic called Bakelite in 1907.
People probably use that plastic alot with projects and stuff.
1285-1290 First WindMill
windmills are not really around here so you can't see them you can most likely find windmills at farms or in the middle of a lawn with no trees.

(1) AbioCor artificial heart invented by Abiomed .
(2) Fuel cell bike invented by Aprilia.
(3)Self-cleaning windows invented by PPG Industries.
(4) On October 23, 2001 Apple Computers publicly announced their portable music digital player the iPod
(5) Solar Tower invented by Jorg Schlaich.
(6) Phone tooth invented by James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau.
(7) Nano-tex - nanotechnology wearable fabrics invented by Nano-tex LLC.
(8)Foveon Camera Chip invented by Richard Merrill.
(9) Virtual keyboard invented by Canesta and VKB.
(10) SonoPrep invented by bioengineer Robert Langer,

I think that the technology that had most impact on human life was the AbioCor. The artificial heart invented by Abiomed .the Abiocor represents medical miniaturization technology. With out medical technology
i dont think the world would be like it is today .

10. 1780- Benjamin Franklin invents thr bi-focal eyeglasses.
The impact that the discovery of the bi- focal eyeglasses by Benjamin Franklin was pretty huge. People were able to have reading glasses and long vision glasses all in one. The impact of the modern zipper by Gideon Sundback was huge to. For the first time people didn't have to use a seam or buttons to hold something together.

Inventions: Smoke Detector (1969) TV remote (1855) Cellphone (1973) GPS (1978) DNA Fingerprinting (1984)

Prior to 100 yrs: Flushed Toilets (1500) Blood Transfusion (1625) Air pump (1650) Soda Fountain (1819) Matches (1827)

MATCHES (1827) The man who invented matches was Robert Boyle. He discovered that phosphorus and sulfur would burst into flame instantly if rubbed together.
An impact on society is matches, theyare used for many defferent reasons such as emergencies and everyday uses.

SMOKE DETECTOR (1969) Francis Robbins Upton invented the first automatic electric fire alarm. One impact on society was that the smoke alarms saved millions of peoples lives. The only down side is that these alarms do not intantly alarm when it sences the toxins, only when it sences smoke.
