Man is regarded as the social animal because of his ability to think and take steps wisely.
Other animals almost process the same organs as we do have but what really makes us superior is our ability to act wisely.
Our earth is 3.5 billion years old and compared to those 3.5 billion years man has only lived a fraction of that but the advancements man has made have been tremendously huge.
Let's take a look at some greatest inventions of all time
Wheel
The first invention that comes to mind is of course of a wheel.
The first wheel was invented in 3500 B.C and it was purely a stroke of genius.
The invention of wheel brought revolutionary change in the man's life he no longer had to travel far off places by foot or on a horse.
Compass
Compass changed the life of travellers once and for all.
With compass man was able to locate the directions where he wanted to go.
Compass was invented somewhere between 9th and 11th century by Chinese people.
Another masterclass from some unknown personality.
Printing Press
Johannes Gutenberg of Germany was the man behind printing press.
He invented the printing press in 1440 and it is because of him that we are able to read printed books and newspapers.
Bulb
Thomas Edison was the man behind an electric bulb.
He is the light to the world in the dark
I can't even imagine what people did when there was no electricity.
There were two dozen people behind the invention of electric bulb but Thomas Edison created a fully functional electric bulb and therefore took the credit in 1879.
Telephone
The era of electronic communication began with the invention of telephone.
Though many people were trying to transfer voice through electronic media but it was Alexander Graham Bell who was successful and was awarded a patent in 1876.
The invention of telephone marked the start of electronic communication.
The U.S Government stopped the telephone service for one minute on August 2nd 1992 to honour the death of great Graham Bell.
Internet
Perhaps the greatest invention of the 20th century, Internet was invented in 1960's by countless people but the real credit goes to Lawrence Roberts.
With the advent of internet, communication industry was taken by storm and it has become one of the necessities of life.
With the introduction of internet came promises, some of which have been achieved and some are still at a distance.
Most people will say that the above inventions have changed the way of our lives and I agree too.
But I would like to add one more invention which will make greater impact than the above listed inventions.
The invention I am talking about is Blockchain.
Blockchain was invented in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto who is credited as the first person who invented first digital currency 'Bitcoin'.
Blockchain is capable of solving almost every mystery of the universe and can help create wonders.
Blockchain can be utilised in every walk of life.
A few people are aware of this amazing technology but slowly blockchain is going to rule the world and the steps are being taken by many governments to utilise this great invention.
Blockchain is the next big thing..
