...Inventions and Discoveries Paper Ryan Fagen University of Phoenix HIS 458 January 30, 2013 Stephanie Fink De Backer Inventions and Discoveries Paper The invention of the telescope and the microscope has led to many great discoveries that have been of great significance to us, the human race. First we will take a look at the telescope and provide some significant examples. Second we will look at the discoveries that came from the invention of the microscope and the impact they both had on our development as humans and our place in the universe. In addition to providing examples of significant discoveries, I will offer my opinion as to why these discoveries challenged traditions and changed society as a whole. The National Geographic Society (1996) website, since the first telescope was invented, there has been much advancement in the design and the types of telescopes used. Besides the early refracting telescope used by Galileo or the more modern reflecting telescope used by Hubble, the telescope has changed the way look at the cosmos and what we know of the universe. Telescopes are classified by the task performed. Some names given to the different types of telescopes are astrograph, comet seeker, graphic telescope infrared telescope, solar telescope, space telescope, or zenith telescope The invention of the telescope in the 17th century has brought forth many significant discoveries but none more significant then that of the Earth, Moon and other planets orbit around...

...Culture Title Page China is unlike any other country I have read about; winning a trip to china would be a dream come true! As far back as it has been documented, China has created a number of useful inventions. And, their contributions to the world, in my opinion, cannot be compared to anyone else. These useful inventions and wonderful contributions are timeless. Items such as toilet paper, tooth brush, fork, and the calendar year are used every day and can practically be found in every household. While there are a variety of inventions the Chinese have made, to me, their extraordinary contributions to the society are paper, printing, gun powder, and compass because they have made a huge impact on the entire globe. To begin, I must say, many different items that were used before paper was invented: bamboo silk, papyrus, and parchment. However, these items were not without problems associated with their usage. There were varying degrees of surface smoothness, expense, preservation, and storage requirements. By 105 BC Cai Lun overcame many of the limitations by inventing a new writing medium known as paper from bark, hemp, and rags. During this time, the raw materials could be found easily and at lower prices compared to former methods. Essentially, this contribution helped the development of civilization. Another useful invention to come out of China was printing. The first form of “printing on paper” came from rubbings. The process consisted of smoothing a piece of paper...

...The invention of automobiles has changed the world for the better because without them the world would not be able to function the way it does today. If automobile had never been invented there would be no way to move products to the different parts of the world and we would not be able to cook and eat the foods from all over the world. We would not be able to get to work, or to doctors appointments or even the hospital if one needed to go there. There would be no fire trucks to come and put out fires and no ambulance to take the sick and injured to the hospital. There would be no trains to move good and products to the different parts of the world. Without buses many people would not be able to get around the world and the cities. There are many reasons as to why the automobile is a great invention. We rely on them to take us places to provide for our families and ourselves. Automobiles can get one out of dangerous situations and save lives and without it many people would not be here. I love to get in my car and just drive to clear my head and think about life. I use my car to take me all over Florida to visit my family and to take my children many places that they want to go and without it we would be stuck in the house with nothing to do but look at TV and play games on the Internet. I love to travel to me it is relaxing to my mind because its like an escape from the worries of my life and one needs to get away sometimes. Man if I could not take my kids to the park they would...

...was trying to say and explain to the reader this quote explains the idea that the Internet has not only completely changed our lives forever but that nobody really knows how the Internet is making and changing our world. I definitely believe that the Internet has changed my viewing of the world and made my life a whole lot easier. Along with the fact that the Internet has made my life easier, it has also made me a much lazier person just by the simple fact that I can type anything into any search engine, such as Google, and receive an answer just by a simple “click” of my mouse. It really has made me think and wonder what life would be like without Internet, I seriously cannot even imagine it. I have grown up with Internet and do not know life without it. I consider myself to be somewhat of a lazy person and tend to slack in some areas of my life, I have been seriously considering if I did not have Internet to simplify my life’s needs that maybe I would become an overall less lazy person. I think chances are high for that and that I definitely would become automatically less lazy. I definitely agree with the author in the sense that Google, along with everything on the Internet, has made the human race a much lazier group and rely on a piece of technology instead of relying on each other and trying to improve ourselves as better people. I do not necessarily believe that the Internet has made humans become more stupid because people are still extremely intelligent and the Internet...

...Storytelling has been the rope that ties all of the history and advancements of the written word together. From the oral tradition to logs in a chat room, our primary means of communication is in the form of a story. “Today I did this” or “Beowulf is strong”, these ideas are not far removed from each other, except through time. Eventually with the invention of the printing press, our means of storytelling have not changed much, or evolved nearly as quickly. The book, the tangible word, has stayed primarily relevant since its invention. It has indeed molded and conformed to new technological practices, but primarily, the book has stayed just that, a book. It is able to traverse the gap and be considered both new and old media because of the...

Even though it was not fully Marconi’s idea, but he was productoduced the radio. Marconi’s invention of the radio revolutionized his time. His invention helped with the government who used it for communications between ships. Today, Marconi’s invention of the radio has changed the way we communicate and receive our news and entertainment. We are just not using the radio for ships but for airplanes, trains, and even just regular walky-talky. Today we get our news fast and clear on the radio along with entertainment. We can listen to our favorite music or to the big football game. Marconi’s invention opened up the doors to big and better ideas for radio. 2. Question: The development of the Internet is often compared to the development of television. Television was a direct outgrowth of radio and represented a great leap forward from radio.

...Ancient Chinese Inventions Assignment 2 Christopher Macinkowicz 8/23/2013 Professor Ibrahim H. Alsaeed, Ph.D. World Cultures I Many people do not realize how many different and important inventions China has added to our world. Our everyday life would much different if it weren’t for the Chinese. From fishing reels to sunglasses, alcohol to the umbrella, many inventions that we take for granted are the result of ancient Chinese innovation. Even the fork and toilet paper were invented by the Chinese people. Although each of the inventions I have already mentioned is extremely important in their own way, there are four main Chinese inventions that I believe have changed the course of history. They are, in no particular order, gunpowder, paper, the compass, and silk. I will discuss each one of these four very important inventions in this paper and also reveal which one I believe has been the most important to my personal life. First off, let’s talk about gunpowder. Gunpowder is a highly volatile compound that is made from potassium nitrate and charcoal. Originally used to treat skin diseases as far back as 140 AD, eventually the Chinese people mastered the art of igniting the gunpowder to launch fireworks and rockets which were used to defend China from Mongol invaders as early as the 9th or 10th century AD. Gunpowder has since been used by people all over the world for purposes ranging from hunting to warfare. Were it not for the discovery of gunpowder...

...extremely advanced and many of its discoveries are still in use today’s world. Perhaps the Chinese has contributed more to the advancement of human kind than any other ancient culture. They have contributed to our world civilization’s achievements in the fields of agriculture, shipping, astronomy, printing, oil, martial arts, ammunition and mathematics. Ancient Chinese inventions such as gunpowder, silk, paper, printing, tea, wheel barrow, iron plows, deep drilling, porcelain, toilet paper and the compass were and still are important pieces of Chinese and global life. These inventions were major blocks in the building of the world as we know today. The four main innovations which I consider to be essential aspects of our contemporary lives are paper, printing, gun powder, and compass. Certainly the most important invention of Chinese culture is paper. The invention of paper was a great contribution to both the Chinese and the world civilization. According to Sayre, it was in the year 105 A.D during the Han dynasty, that the invention of the paper was first reported by Cai Lun. Paper made of hemp had been used by the Han for over 200 years, but Cai Lun improved both the techniques and the quality of the paper by using verity of materials such as, tree bark, hemp and rags. The basic principles of papermaking invented by Cai Lun are still in use today (Sayre, 2012, p.226). Before the invention of paper, characters were written on animal bones, turtle backs, bamboo or stones. The storage...

...personality can change and everyone desires for someone to care for them and someone for them to care about. So, during his late twenties, Bell had encountered a different meeting that had threatened to disrupt his life as he currently knew it: Bell was facing a new challenge that would delay his work, threaten his health, and shake his partnerships. In sessions with on particular student he would sometimes lose his train of thought and lapse into political discussions. He would comment on the sweetness of her voice, which she herself could not hear. After class, he would escort her to her streetcar. In late June, Alexander Graham Bell announced to everyone that he was in love with Mabel Hubbard, his seventeen-and-a-half-year-old student, the daughter of his business partner – to everyone, that is, but Mabel herself. (Grosvenor 58) This quote shows how Bell’s personality has dramatically changed because, as stated in the summary, Bell was a very active minded individual who cared highly about his inventions and his achievements. So,...

...Chinese Inventions We are a society of the “new and improved” and we don’t consider the things we have come to love and depend on as ancient inventions, but they are. The Chinese are among the world leaders when it comes to inventions. They are responsible for giving us the beginnings of many inventions we still use today. The printed page, for example, was given to us through several Chinese inventions such as paper, ink, and type. Many of these inventions we take for granted like the umbrella, fan, compass, gunpowder, the clock, and cast iron. Of the countless Chinese inventions, I consider following four most important. Paper changed has the world in a very significant way. I think you would be amazed if you counted every time you touched, used, or have seen paper in one day of your life. Paper is known to have been used as far back as 5000 years ago in Egypt. The Egyptians used what is known as papyrus which is not what we use today in 2011. It was during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) that paper was not only invented, but they also made it new and improved. Cai Lun in 105 CE improved both the technique and the quality of paper. “Modern Technologies have simplified the process but the method of Cai Lun basically stays unchanged” today. (Sayre, 2012, p 226). The Chinese had developed a way to put print onto paper by carving words and pictures into wooden blocks, putting the block into ink, and then pressing it onto paper. This is very similar to the...
