Great inventors who improved the quality of our lives

[Freedom]

We owe a lot to these men.

Edward Jenner (1749 – 1823) English biologist introduced the smallpox vaccine, the first successful vaccine to be developed. Jenner is often called "the father of immunology", and his work is said to have "saved more lives than the work of any other human".

Thomas Edison (1847 – 1931) American inventor who filed over 1,000 patents. He developed and innovated a wide range of products from the electric light bulb to the phonograph and motion picture camera. One of the greatest inventors of all time.

Nikola Tesla (1856 –1943) – American Physicist who invented fluorescent lighting, the Tesla coil, the induction motor, and 3-phase electricity and AC electricity.

The Wright Brothers (1871-1948 ) American inventors who successfully designed, built and flew the first powered aircraft in 1903.

John Logie Baird (1888 – 1946) – Scottish inventor who invented the television and the first recording device.

Alan Turing (1912 – 1954) – English 20th century mathematician, pioneer of computer science. He developed the Turing machine, capable of automating processes - the earliest computer! It could be adapted to simulate the logic of any computer algorithm.

Tim Berners Lee (1955- ) – English computer scientist. Tim Berners Lee is credited with inventing the World Wide Web, which enabled the internet to display websites viewable on internet browsers. He developed
the http:// protocol for the internet, and made the world wide web freely available.

Alexander Bell (1847 – 1922) – Scottish scientist credited with inventing the first practical telephone. Also worked on optical telecommunications, aeronautics and hydrofoils.

Benjamin Franklin (1705 – 1790) American polymath who discovered electricity and invented the Franklin stove, lighting rod and bifocals. Franklin was also an American statesman and influential figure in the development of modern America.

Leonardo Da Vinci (1452 – 1519) – Italian artist, scientist and polymath. Da Vinci invented a huge range of machines and drew models that proved workable 3-500 years later. These included prototype parachutes, tanks, flying machines and single span bridges. More practical inventions included an optical lens grinder and various hydraulic machine

Karl Benz (1844–1929), German inventor and businessman. Benz developed the petrol-powered car. In 1879, Benz received his first patent for a petrol powered internal combustion engine, which made an automobile car practical. Benz also became a successful manufacturer.

How about more modern ones like Apple, Microsoft and people who can clone animals?

[p4pking]

All great ones. Imo people who discovered the principles on which so many inventions were made possible should make the cut, i.e. Pythagoras, ARchemides, Galileo, Newton and so on. For concrete inventions though a couple more I can think of..


James Watt- The Steam engine

James Clerk Maxwell- Radio, more or less. I think he discovered how electromagnetism and sound waves interact.

Louis Pasteur- Pasteurization, I believe he did a lot for early vaccines as well.


It's funny how small the club of people who basically discovered EVERYTHING is

The American Can company and Krueger brewing company released the first canned beer in 1933. Credit where credit is due

What kinda white supremacist bullshit is this ?

[walrus]

Edison was a hack, a thief and stole ideas to patten.
I'd say Christ was a great inventor and not comparing the two but bob Dylan is one of favorites. See that three Jews @denilson200 no supremacy here

[Mark TKO]

In no particular order

Thomas Bond
Ali Ahmed Aslam
Kevin Toms
Brian Gamlin

We all stand on the shoulders of giants, even the modern great men and women. We must thank the pioneers who's ingenuity made possible the achievements of today.

You could write what kind of male chauvinism is this?

[p4pking]

Name some great female inventors then?

You do not get sarcasm do you?

[p4pking]

Not if its pointless and set up that poorly via text I guess. Figured since Denilson(although I think he's always joking) was not being sarcastic you weren't either, what impact was it supposed to have? Anything you get I get, lets go champ!

[walrus]

The girl who invented the blowjob

[Spicoli]

Name some great female inventors then?

Ironically it was a woman who invented the modern dishwasher. Depending on the level you piss her off for any one of 101 random reasons, a woman also invented the blue balled lonely dishwasher. Better known as us you or me .

also invented a version of the dog leash from what I understand . They had it all worked out early on
