The 20th century saw some of the bloodiest battles ever fought along with, It saw a huge surge in world population and introduced us too technology that was only previously dreamt of. In the 20th century, we went from communicating via mail to communicating instantly across the world using wireless phones. We went from hands on fighting, using single fire rifles to creating huge bombs that can wipe out cities Life expectancy skyrocketed about 60 percent in Canada in just one century, it went from an average of 50 to an average of 81. It is the century that invented the world. However much of the new technology that the 20th century brought to the world would not exist or would not operate efficiently without the help of Canadian innovations.

Canada made huge contributions to communication technology in the twentieth century, with two notable inventions/innovations being the telephone and the walkie talkie. First of all, Alexander Graham Bell, a Canadian inventor, contributed to the innovation of the telephone. The telephone is a system that allows long range verbal communication between multiple users which first dates back to the 1870s. It saw major improvements during the 19th century to make it more efficient, reliable and to make it a daily commodity for all the citizens. The telephone also increased employment in the 1900s , which was much needed after WW1 and because of the Great Depression. It lead to the construction of city centers and office building all over the U.S.A. and Canada. Even today, the telephone plays a major role in businesses and homes all across the world. It allows us to make social calls when we are lonely while at the same time lets us make emergency calls when we are in trouble. It allows businesses to talk to customer on the phone, which saves lots of time and money. The telephone also lead to the creation of many widely used technology today such as the cell phone, the internet, and satellites.

The century had some of the deadliest wars ever, when one would come to an end, there was another just around the corner. It is estimated that all over the world, in the twentieth century alone, there were 130 million plus war casualties. However, these wars did lead to mile stones in technology, with countries becoming eager to protect themselves from threats all over the world new military technology were popping up all over the world. Often the new technology could be used in civilian life. The most significant innovations Canada played a role in were the Radar and the Atomic Bomb. A major Canadian innovation towards military technology was the Radar. With the battle of the Atlantic raging on and the German Luftwaffe launching deadly aerial attacks, Britain needed a way of detecting the Germans before it was too late. With an incapable radar like system already in existence , Britain, with huge support from the National Research Council of Canada, went to work and built a modern version to meet Britain 's requirements and expectations. As experimental designs proved successful, large scale projects were launched all over Britain, with as many as fifty radar installations spread out across the East and West coasts of Great Britain . These radar installations played a major role in the Royal Air forces victory in the Battle of Britain. Because of the success the Radar
