Inventions and Innovations
Throughout history, there has been several Technological advancements that has revolutionized the way we live our everyday lives. But, like all inventions, they were put through a series of trial and error and ran several processes of improvements and refinements. These technological devices were placed upon a patent that which claims ownership of the invention created. However, in order to claim the invention as your own you must be the first to document it and fully develop a working model. This has caused some unreliability with who the original creator of most inventions made in 1600s and below, was.
For example, the Automobile has been an invention that which has been worked on for several years. The first inventor, Ferdinand Verbiest, created the first scaled model of a steam-powered car. Then a tricycle of the steam-powered car was built by Nicolas Cugnot, Nicephore Niepce made the internal combustion-engine and so on. However, when creating an invention you must make sure that it undergoes certain requirements and policies. Safety, Effinciency, and how well workers would be paid to manufacture the item were only a portion of these policies.
From previously being made in several months and even years, the automobile, through innovation through inventors and tough processes along the way, can now be made without many flaws in a jaw-dropping 15 minutes of work. This proves that Technology has come a long way in the past 400 years, taking leaps and bounds each day that we use and try to improve it.
