Technology Revolution

The technology revolution made life 100x easier for people. During that time, great things were invented, from great inventors. The technology revolution had a major impact on our lives today. Thomas Edison was one of our great inventors.

Thomas Edison's first invention was the phonograph. The phonograph was the first machine that could record and reproduce sound.Though he created the phonograph that was not one of his greatest inventions. Next, came electricity and the famous light bulb. Edison developed durable light bulbs, the parallel circuit,safety fuses, and some other things.

Developing more and more, Thomas Edison started his modern electric utility industry. It evolved from gas and electric carbon-arc commercial and street lighting systems. He had a various amount of electric companies. Westinghouse was one of his electric companies, then along came General Electric. These companies actually still exist today.

The impact of electric was so amazing. It changed families life tremendously. It made housewives work around the house much easier. Since there was electric, along came appliances. Refrigerators were invented, washer machines, electric irons, and etc. People actually got to experience cold food, and not having to keep heating up the iron 20 times to just iron a shirt. Electric benefited people so much, people made electricity a necessity.

Everything in this world today is based upon technology. Without the great invention of electricity i wouldn't even be typing this paper, which would technically be great! Besides that, i can't even imagine not having a computer, phone, tv, appliances, or anything else relating to electricity. Technology is getting so outrageous I doubt if we will even need humans for anything later on in life.
