There are persistent numerous opinions that gunpowder was invented in China. His appearance led to the invention of fireworks and early examples of firearms. Since the beginning of time, people have divided territories and defended them, and for this they always needed some kind of weapon. First there were sticks, then axes, then bows, and after the appearance of gunpowder and firearms. Now many types of weapons have been created for military purposes, from simple pistols to the latest intercontinental missiles launched from a submarine. In addition to the army, civilians also use weapons for both their defense and protection of anything, and for hunting.

11 Car

It’s hard to imagine a modern world without cars. People drive them to work, to the cottage, on vacation, for groceries, to the movies and restaurants. Different types of vehicles are used for cargo delivery, construction of structures and for many other purposes. The first cars resembled carriages without horses and moved at not very high speed. Now there are both simple cars for the middle class, and luxury cars, standing like a house, accelerating more than 400 kilometers per hour. The modern world simply can not be imagined without a car.

10 Internet

To create the Internet, mankind has been going for many years, inventing new and new means of communication. Just 20 years ago, a little more than 100,000 people had the Internet, and now it is in almost all more or less large settlements. Through the Internet you can communicate both by letters and visually, on the Internet you can find almost any information, through the Internet you can work, order products, things and services. The Internet is a window into the world through which you can not only receive information, communicate and play, but also earn money, make purchases and read this site. 😉

9 Mobile phone

Just some 15 years ago, in order to communicate with someone from a distance, you had to go home and call on a landline phone or look for the nearest telephone booth and coins or tokens for a call. If you were on the street, and you urgently needed to call an ambulance or firefighters, it was necessary to scream in the hope that someone from the nearest houses would hear and call where you needed or run quickly and look for a phone to call. Even children always had to go around friends and personally find out whether they would go for a walk or not, since even many had no telephone at home. Now almost anywhere you can call anywhere. A mobile phone is freedom of communication, wherever you are.

8 Computer

The computer today has replaced for many items such as a TV, video or DVD player, phone, books, and even a ballpoint pen. Now, using a computer, you can write books, chat with people, watch movies, listen to music, find the information you need. What am I telling you, you yourself know everything! In addition to domestic use, computers are used for various research and development, to facilitate and improve the work of many enterprises and mechanisms. The modern world is simply impossible to imagine without computers.

7 Cinema

The invention of cinema was the beginning of the cinema and television that we have today. The first films were black and white and without sound, they appeared only a few decades after photography. Today, cinema is an incredible sight. Thanks to the hundreds of people working on it, computer graphics, decorations, make-up and many other ways and technologies of cinema, it can now look like a fairy tale. Television, portable video cameras, surveillance cameras, and in general everything related to video exist thanks to the invention of cinema.

6 Phone

A simple landline phone is higher than mobile in our ranking because for the time when the phone was invented, it was a huge breakthrough. Before the telephone, communication was possible only by letters by mail, telegraph, or carrier pigeons. Thanks to the telephone, people no longer had to wait a few weeks for a reply to the letter, they did not need to go or go somewhere to say or find out something. Creating a phone not only saved time, but also power.

5 Electric lamp

Before the invention of the light bulb, people sat in the dark in the evenings or lit candles, oil lamps, or some kind of torch as in ancient times. The invention of the light bulb made it possible to get rid of the danger posed by lighting “appliances” using fire. Thanks to the light bulb, the rooms began to be lit well and evenly. Now we understand how important a light bulb is only when we are turned off the electricity.

4 Antibiotics

Before the invention of antibiotics, some diseases that are now being treated at home could kill a person. The development and production of antibiotics began actively at the end of the 19th century. The invention of antibiotics has helped people overcome many diseases that were previously considered incurable. Back in the 30s of the 20th century, dysentery claimed tens of thousands of human lives every year. There was also no cure for pneumonia, sepsis, or typhoid. A man could not defeat pulmonary plague, it always led to death. With the invention of antibiotics, many serious illnesses were not afraid of us.

3 Wheel

At first glance, you cannot say that the wheel is a very important invention, but thanks to this device many other inventions, such as a car or a train, were created. The wheel significantly reduces energy costs for moving the load. Thanks to the invention of the wheel, not only transport was improved. The man began to build roads, the first bridges appeared. Everything from carts to airplanes moves thanks to the wheel. Even elevators and mills work thanks to the wheel. If you take a little thought, you can understand the full extent of the use of this simple ancient invention and all its importance.

2 Writing

In second place of our ranking is the second oldest and most frequently used method of transmitting information. Thanks to writing, we can learn history, read books, write SMS, learn new information and learn. Ancient writings found in the Egyptian and Mexican pyramids make it possible to understand the lifestyle of ancient civilizations. Now we need writing for almost everything. Office work, relaxing with an interesting book, computer entertainment, training - all this is possible thanks to writing.

1 Language

The first place is occupied by the oldest and most frequently used method of transmitting information. Without language there would be nothing. People simply could not understand each other, as it was many thousands of years ago, when humanity was still in the early stages of its development. Today, there are thousands of languages \u200b\u200bwith dozens of dialects in each. Most of them are no longer used, many are used in various parts of the world by various tribes. Thanks to the language, we understand each other, thanks to it we are developing as a civilization and thanks to it you can learn about the most important inventions of man! 🙂

It would seem that any invention should be brilliant. But the desire to come up with something unusual sometimes leads to such absurd inventions that it turns out to surprise everyone by 200%, but not everyone wants to use such an innovation.

The most useless inventions

And what is not funny cap for the subway, patented in Japan? He put it on his head, pulled it over his eyes, and rest while the train travels. And in order not to oversleep your stop, there is a special slot in it, where a plate with the name of the desired station is inserted. A good passenger neighbor will always wake you up if the owner of such a cap falls asleep.

An alarm clock for those who are constantly late for work. It looks no different from the usual alarm clock. But a small button the size of a match head is located among the needles densely poked into the body. Even a normal person is problematic to press it. But what about those who spent a stormy night the night before, or who have trembling hands after a merry feast?

In America, patented rotating ice cream. The balls inside the cup are constantly moving. It remains only to stick out your tongue and hope that at least a drop of goodies will reach the "destination".

Among the inventors, cranks, there are really talented people who left their mark in the world of discoveries.

The most famous inventions

The first place was taken by such an invention as letters. They consist of words and sentences. This is the language of communication, without which it is impossible to imagine the existence of man. No invention or technology could have been born if there were no letters, signs, language.

Anesthesia. It is impossible to imagine how even the most simple operation can be performed without it. The term "anesthesia" belongs to the ancient Roman physician and pharmacologist, who lived in the 1st century AD. He managed to isolate narcotic extracts from the mandrake root, which had a painkiller effect.

  "Laughing gas," or nitrous oxide, which, after several inhalations, relieves pain, was invented by the English chemist Humphrey Davy. And the invention of diethyl ether anesthesia belongs to Dr. Morton. From that moment on, surgery learned to control pain.

Antibiotics have protected humanity from epidemics and deadly diseases. The inventor of penicillin, the first antibiotic, was Alexander Fleming, who patented this miraculous medicine in 1928.

How did the invention of the computer change the world?

The computer has become not only a means of collecting and processing information. This is not only a way to transfer any data to almost anywhere in the world. This invention is indispensable in process control. With the help of computers, automated control of production processes, automatic robots, and mechanisms for calculating control and measurement data takes place.

They are of great importance in the field of medicine when making diagnoses and examining the body, with complex operations, up to transplantation of the heart and other organs of man.

Computers are indispensable in the military-technical field. The calculation of flight paths of spacecraft and satellites, their launch into space, the study of the bowels of the earth, the prediction of natural disasters and observation of changes in nature, the search and extraction of minerals, the ability to control the operation of nuclear power plants - these are the scanty part of the possibilities that a person with the invention of a computer has received.

The most significant invention in the history of mankind

Perhaps the most notable know-how was the invention of the wheel. Some units with wheels are truly impressive, for example, the fastest motorcycles can accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in 2.5 seconds. .

Zoshchenko: I came up with an interesting story for children

One dog, named Lyosha, saw a sausage on a dresser. And there was nobody at home.

Our dogs were brave and decided to steal this sausage.

And before that, she wanted to feast on this sausage, that even her eyes lit up and her saliva flowed.

The dog sees the sausage, but cannot get it, because the chest of drawers is high, and she is small, a little more than a cat.

Little, she’s small, but rather cunning. She thought a little, like a professor, and that's what she came up with.

First, the teeth pulled out the bottom drawer of the chest of drawers.

Then she climbed onto this drawer and pulled out a second drawer a little.

Climbing onto the second drawer, she pulled out the third drawer quite a bit.

And then it turned out something like a staircase.

And our little dog calmly and without anxiety climbed this ladder, took out a sausage and ate it without a trace.

Then the owners came. They were angry that the sausage had disappeared, and wanted to beat the dog. But when they learned how the dog got the sausage, they did not beat her. They just laughed and said:

  - Oh, how smart our dog is! Even we are not sorry that she ate the sausage.
