Technology made America what it is today. America is one of the highest economically developed countries in the world. The impact of technological innovations during the Gilded Age led America to its strength. The two inventions during this period were the Bessemer process, and the light bulb.
The Bessemer process, was the process to make steel in 15 minutes instead of 24 hours. That is 96 times faster. Andrew Carnegie, the maker of the Bessemer process, had instant fame for his miraculous invention. The impact this machine had in the Gilded Age was enormous. It was the foundation of the Gilded Age. Steel was used in buildings, factories, and was made in some machines. Steel was probably the most used product during this time.
