Inventions fill our life with all comforts that were unimaginable even a few years ago. Electricity, transportation mediums, medical services, television, Internet, etc. everything is because of the development of science and has successfully made our lives easier.
One of the earliest inventions was fire. It allowed early humans to cook food and stay warm during cold nights. As time passed, people created new tools such as the wheel that made farming more efficient(高效的).
During the Industrial Revolution(工业革命)in the 19th century, machines were developed,and that changed the face of industry forever. The invention of the steam(蒸汽)power led to new forms of transportation such as trains and ships that could travel faster and farther than ever before. Factories appeared all over the world.
In the 20th century, electricity changed our lives once again. Inventions like light bulbs, telephones, and radios became common place in households worldwide. Later on, computers were invented to help us deal with information at a high speed.
Today’s inventions like smartphones, electric cars and more recently robots are everywhere. They have revolutionized communication and made it easier for us to get information quickly from anywhere in the world.
Inventions not only help us in our daily lives but also have wide influences on society as a whole. Medicine and medical technology have made us live longer while space exploration has made us learn about more knowledge of the universe we live in.
Technology continues to develop rapidly with new discoveries every day. Though there is no telling what new inventions will come next, we believe that there will be more new ideas and inventions to create a better world.
