This wasn't as fun as some of my other ones, nor is it very good. I was under a time limit, which was good for me because usually I take a lot of time to write.
The Three Greatest Inventions of the Twentieth Century
Of the thousands of inventions developed during the last century, three stand out among man's greatest accomplishments. They are the invention of the light bulb, the airplane, and the computer. I will briefly mention each, and give several reasons why I believe they are so great.
The light bulb's invention has had an astronomical impact on man. It has completely changed his lifestyle, allowing so much to continue on well after dark. Business can operate at all hours, games can be played late in the evening, and travel can continue without the need to wait for the arrival of morning.
Another important invention is the airplane. Nothing else has brought our world so close together as it has. Impassable mountains, vast oceans, and thousands of miles can be spanned in a matter of hours. This has had an incredible impact on the way we travel, and politically, countries are much more related and easier to attack in war.
The last great invention to mention is the computer. Since its first widespread use in the late 1970's, its users and the uses of the computer have grown at an incredible rate. The amazing things the average person can do with a computer today were unimaginable only 30 years ago. The computer has revolutionized the way we do everything - the ways we communicate, entertain ourselves, and conduct business. Along with computers, the World Wide Web should also be mentioned. The overwhelming amount of information available at one's fingertips is astounding, far superseding any information source before it.
We have looked at three inventions - the light bulb, the airplane, and the computer, and how they have so dramatically changed our world, more than any others in mankind's history.
