The world is full of inventions that have transformed people's lifestyles. Humans have been known for their relentless pursuit of gadgets, devices, devices and ideas that allow them to live comfortably.
Patent applications worldwide are a sign of this, even in a world so innovative and full of technology, people are still in search of new creations.
The wheel
The invention of the wheel took place around 3500 BC and after that, it spread rapidly throughout the eastern hemisphere. Before the wheel, people were limited in the distances they could travel and the things they could transport.
Wheeled carriages simplified different areas such as agriculture and trade by allowing the transport of goods to and from markets. They also made it easier to move people over long distances.
Today, wheels are still vitally important in everyone's daily lives.
The telephone
The telephone invented by Graham Bell was the first device that allowed the transmission of human speech using a machine. There were already several inventors who did pioneering work in electronic voice transmission, of these many filed patent lawsuits to fight intellectual property when the telephone became a success.
Alexander Graham Bell was the first to obtain a patent for the electric telephone in 1876.
The light bulb
With the creation of the light bulb, dependence on natural light decreased, before which productivity in all areas was limited to daylight hours. Light bulbs allowed people to be more active, even when it was not daylight.
According to historians, two dozen people were instrumental in the invention of incandescent lamps during the 19th century; Thomas Edison is recognised as the main inventor because he created a fully functional lighting system, including a generator and wiring, as well as a carbon filament bulb like the one above, in 1879.
Internet
The global system of interconnected computer networks known as the Internet is used by billions of people around the world.
Countless people helped develop it, but the person most widely credited with its invention is computer scientist Lawrence Roberts. Without a doubt, the internet is an invention that revolutionised the world.
Printing press
Before the internet existed, the greatest advance in the democratisation and dissemination of knowledge was the printing press. The printing press, invented by Johannes Gutenberg, was created in Mainz around 1440.
The printing press not only allowed books to reach the hands of everyone, making them more affordable, but also allowed the dissemination of new ideas, helping to usher in the age of enlightenment, which is why it could not be missed as an invention that changed the world.
