Invention: Light Bulb
Year: 1879
Description:
- In 1879 the inventor Thomas Alva Edison

experimented with thousands of different filaments
THOMAS EDISON
to find just the right materials to glow well and be

long-lasting.
- Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an

oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for
40 hours.
- Edison eventually produced a bulb that could glow

for over 1500 hours.

flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air
WRIGHT BROTHERS
aircraft.
- Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-

driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds
and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight. Wilbur
and Orville alternately flying the airplane. Wilbur
flew the last flight, covering 852 feet in 59 seconds.
- In 1909, the U.S. Army’s Signal Corps purchased a

specially constructed plane, and the brothers
founded the Wright Company to build and market
their aircraft. WRIGHT BROTHERS
Invention: Antibiotics
Year: 1928
Description:
- The first true antibiotic, penicillin, was discovered by

-
Alexander Fleming, Professor of Bacteriology at St.
ALEXANDER FLEMING
Mary's Hospital in London.
- Antibiotics are compounds produced by bacteria and

fungi which are capable of killing, or inhibiting,
competing microbial species.
- He discovered it when he began cleaning the petri

dishes on which he was experimenting with bacteria.
On one dish, however, he found a mold growth. In the
area around the mold growth, there was no bacteria.
There was bacteria in other parts of the petri dish, but
the mold was sitting in an area alone. And as he had
just accidentally discovered an antibiotic.

Description:
- The stored program, automatically sequenced

computer Kenbak-1 was considered by the Computer
JOHN V. BLANKENBAKE
History Museum and the American Computer

Museum to be the first commercially available
"personal computer" in the world
- He wanted the computer to be low cost,

educational, and able to give the user satisfaction
with simple programs
- To keep the costs low, switches and lights were

the input and output of the machine
JOHN V. BLANKENBAKE
Invention: The Mobile Phone
Year: 1973
Description:
- On April 3, 1973, Dr. Martin Cooper invented the

very first mobile phone but it was not really mobile
DR. MARTIN COOPER
phones at all.
- It was a two-way radios that allowed people like

smartphone was connected with an actual 3G network.
Phones had the first handset with a colour screen, first
Bluetooth-capable phone and store can store up 64mb of
music.

Invention: Bionic Arm/Bioprosthetics
Year: 1993
Description:
- i-LIMB Hand is the brand name of the world's first commercially available bionic hand
invented by David Gow and his team at the Bioengineering Centre of the Princess
Margaret Rose Hospital in Edinburgh, and manufactured by Touch Bionics.
DAVID GLOW
- Acts as a replacement arm to those people who lost their arm because of an accident or
disease
- When the user flexes a muscle while wearing his or her bionic arm, electric signals are
transmitted to a computer in the hand of the prosthesis, and interprets the signals and
activates appropriate motors to achieve the desired gesture.
- This medical invention is so important because it helped a lot of amputees to gain back
confidence and feel normal again
