Scottish-born American inventor and teacher of the deaf, Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) is best known for perfecting the telephone to transmit vocal messages by electricity. The telephone inaugurated a new age in communication technology. Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh.

Humanity is a collective group of thinkers, scattered across time and space, and, as such, no invention can be attributed to a single person, rather several people who continue to make innovations and improvements upon the design. It may then be argued that inventions aren't created, but grown through the ages until it is perfected. Such is the case with Thomas Newcomen, who, through improvements upon the design made by Thomas Savery, led to one of the major catalysts of the Industrial…

Patents. They allow an individual to own their own invention. An inventor is normally thought of as someone in the world of science, but this is not always true. Is John Pemberton, the man who created coca cola not considered an inventor? Inventors are everywhere around us from chemists looking to make the next coca cola to engineers trying to optimize the production of a substance, but what happens if someone were to try and steal another’s invention and take credit for it, that is where a…

The telegraph was a very simple and efficient method to send messages developed by Samuel Morse and a group of other inventors in the 1830s and 1840s. A combination of dots and dashes were assigned to each letter. To send a message the operator key would be pushed down to complete the battery’s electrical circuit and the amount of time you held the operator key would determine if it is a dot or dash. This would then transmit an electrical signal through the wires laid in between stations to the…

There are plenty of technologies that should never have been invented. If you asked a random person what invention they think shouldn't have been invented, you are likely to receive "the atomic bomb" or "social media" as the most common answers. I, however, believe there is one specific type of invention that is feeding off of the general mass' fear of being ill - common antibacterial products such as hand sanitizers and antibacterial hand soaps. Of course, one could say that antibacterial…

My invention. The user puts in several things that they like and when they hit a button, it would give them a random combination of a selected number of items. This could be used as a game, a tiebreaker, or when you’re just feeling like trying something new.…

during the Italian Renaissance. He was a self-taught engineer, artist, and architect who was always fascinated by art and machinery, famous for being able to intertwine them into his inventions. His contraptions have lead to the creation of many of the machines that we use in the twenty-first century, as his inventions have shaped the evolution of modern warfare, the world of aviation, the way we travel, and modern design. The best weapon a military…

Frankenstein, eternally convoluting the ethics of invention. A Romantic at heart, Shelley, through her intricate elaboration of Victor Frankenstein and his creation as well as scenery, expounds upon the deleterious outcomes associated with the distancing of oneself from the natural world as a mirror to the ideals expressed in Volney’s Ruins of Empires, in order to reveal the calamity innately bestowed in the dawn of industrialization. Inventions both derive from and spur societal change. In…
