The best inventions
This week in Inventor’s World, we asked one reader, Ben Cross, aged 25, to tell us which inventions he thinks have changed our lives the most. Which inventions did he choose? Do you agree with him?
I work in IT, so I have a close relationship with electrical gadgets! In my opinion, one recent invention that has changed our lives is the laptop computer. It allows us to work anywhere, and has made our working lives so much easier. The idea for the first laptop was created by Alan Kay in 1968. Kay wanted to make a personal computer for children to learn computer skills. It was known as the Dynabook. In fact, the Dynabook was never built. But his idea was used by other companies to develop laptops and PCs. The first portable computer in the shops was made by Osborne Computer Corporation in 1981. It was called Osborne 1. I’m too young to remember all this, but my boss told me that the first laptops were very heavy and difficult to carry around. I can’t imagine life without my laptop. What did people use to do before they were invented?
It’s clear to me that another invention that has changed all our lives is the electric light bulb. We can go out or work late in the evening and through the night, if we want to. These extra hours mean that we can do more and be more successful. What would we do if we couldn’t go out in the evenings because it was too dark to see? The light bulb wasn’t invented recently – it was invented in 1879 by Thomas Edison – but I can’t think of another invention that has made such a difference to our lives. The early glass light bulbs were made by hand. Later they were produced by machine, and became cheaper to buy. These days, light bulbs are made in a variety of different types and sizes. They are used in the home, at work, in cars, in torches, on Christmas trees, and so on. Life would be very dark without them.
