Without these Inventions our life would have been incomplete.

Think of life changing inventions and you probably think of the iPhone, Google Glass or the like. But I'm going to present you with a different idea — one that could vastly improve how we live our lives.

Electric light

The electric light bulb was a major invention that changed the world. Before electricity, people had to spend many hours burning candles and lanterns to illuminate their homes and businesses. The invention of the electric light bulb allowed people to work longer and sleep later, which led to new business opportunities.

He patented this innovative device in 1883 and began selling it commercially in 1890. The first electric light bulb was created with carbon filament and a glass globe filled with oil or kerosene. It produced a soft, flickering glow that was not bright enough for practical use.

Thomas Edison's first commercial product used carbon filaments coated with platinum to produce an incandescent bulb that lasted up to 10,000 hours (10 years). This type of bulb is still used today but has been improved over time so that they last longer and use less energy than those made from carbon filaments alone.

In 1882, Edison founded what would become one of America's largest companies: General Electric Company (GE). GE became a leader in the development of electrical technology because its research labs were staffed by top scientists who were dedicated to improving efficiency

Telephone

The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 and was first called the "telephon". It was not until 1878 that Bell's first experiments with the telephone were publicly demonstrated, but he had made several improvements to the basic design since then.

The first telephone was a one-way device, and you had to speak into it to hear what someone else said. A pair of earphones connected to a transmitter were used so that both parties could hear each other. The receiver simply picked up sounds from outside your home or office.

The first working commercial telephone exchanges were created by Thomas Edison in New York City and Boston in 1876. He also developed a telegraph system which used wires instead of radio waves as carriers of messages along his central wire between New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This invention became known as "Edison's Direct Current" (dc) electricity because it worked counterclockwise like water flowing through pipes in one direction.

Automobile

Inventing the automobile was considered a breakthrough in transportation. The first cars were powered by steam engines, which were not very efficient. In 1884, a German inventor named Karl Benz invented a gas-powered vehicle that used a gasoline-electric engine. This was an important step in the development of automobiles because it meant that people could drive long distances without having to carry large supplies of fuel.

The American Henry Ford developed his own version of the automobile at his automobile factory in Detroit in 1908. He called his new invention "the Model T." It was known for being cheap and easy to maintain, but it was also slow and unreliable.

In 1912, Ford introduced his new Model A model with a four-cylinder engine and improved design features that made it easier to drive on rough terrain than previous models had been able to do. The Model A could reach speeds as high as 60 miles per hour (99 kilometers per hour), but its top speed was limited by the available roads — most cars could only go 30 miles per hour (49 kilometers per hour).

The Model T remained popular throughout the 20th century, but sales declined after World War II because more Americans had access to cars than before the war began.
