This link sends you to a short biography about Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla got encouraged by his mom to start his career. He started his career by going to America by boat and he was hired by Thomas Edison to do basic electrical engineering. Soon after that, he started redesigning the direct current generators that ran Edison’s business. Then Edison offered Tesla $50,000 for the new improvements on the generators. After Tesla’s work was done, Edison claimed that he wasn’t serious about the…

Nikola Tesla is widely regarded as one of the greatest inventing minds of the 20th century. Throughout his life, Tesla's obsession over his work allowed him to make numerous contributions to the world of electricity, many of which helped to usher in the high tech era which we are accustomed to today. Most people are aware of at least one of his discoveries, whether it is alternating current, wireless communication, or wireless controlling, but few people are aware that Tesla may have made…

Roaring Twenties: How the Fun Began The 1920s was the happy era. Everyone longed for a life of adventure and modernism. People were willing to leave their old life and start a new one. The economy flourished as people went out and bought all the new technology, CD’s, clothes, etc. Everyone wanted the latest inventions and wanted to be a part of every new trend. Entertainment in the 1920’s developed American culture and economy by introducing technology, events, and people that became history.…

The world has been influenced by many of people throughout history. One person in particular has done such a thing that we use it on a daily bases, and not even notice. Nikola Tesla was an inventor that developed the AC electrical system. This system has changed the world of electric once it was developed but it wasn’t till a partnership that went bad till it came about. Tesla may have invented this but did he get the recognition that he deserved, well that’s what we are going to find out.…

Responsible for the radio, x-ray machine, and many other innovations, Nikola Tesla receives almost no credit for his master mind. Even though he was not recognized for his works, he still kept pursuing his dream primarily to create a better world for man-kind to inhabit. Nikola Tesla, known only as a footnote in the history of engineering, has shaped our modern day interactions by his dedication to doing the “impossible.” How a man is raised will not only impact him, but those who are prominent…

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, widely known as the CDC, finds a tremendous amounts of new diseases every year. These discoveries are made possible by the new innovative technologies that defy all former expectations. Because of these technologies, scientists have successfully cloned a sheep named Dolly. The advancement of science and technology is very important for the human race. Through modern science and technology, the human race is advancing in more ways than one,…

Robert Kennedy once said that “Few will have the greatness to bend history itself,” but what defines ‘greatness’? Historically, the debate on ‘what is greatness?’ has been extensively explored. The inconsistency in the characterizations and descriptions of greatness along with the suggested answers to the question ‘what is a great person?’ have driven prior conflicting voices to exceed into the present. In continuing to develop as a controversial subject, contemporary voices have joined the…

perhaps his most important and revolutionary invention that someone else took credit for was the radio. In 1901 Guglielmo Marconi was credited with the invention of the radio when he successfully transmitted a wireless transmission across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1909 he even shared the Nobel Prize in physics for his contributions to wireless and long distance communication. At the time Marconi was thought to be a pioneer in his field but an article by The Escapist shows that he was not the first…

The very first data communication the was done electrolytically was in 1836 by Samuel Morse. He demonstrated the ability to Transmit information over wires. This information was sent using a series of electrical signals. In 1844 Morse demonstrated to the US congress the practicality of his invention by sending a message from washington to baltimore, it read “What Hath God wrought”. With this invention made the world seem smaller than ever before making it easier to access information. It would…

Communication is a way of expressing one's thoughts or ideas to other humans. Back in time, humans did not have news, media, phones and the internet to keep them connected to family and friends. Unsurprisingly, people out there today take this technology for granted because they rely on these inventions to stay in touch. Everyone in the world wants to know about what has happened as soon that information is available to the general public. The Gilded Age and the Roaring Twenties did not have…
