We often use the phrase "Necessity is the mother of inventions." Many inventions have surely turned our world upside-down and are a part of our daily life now. In the last episode we came across various Indian inventions and today, we are going to throw light on some brilliant and interesting American inventions.
Starting with Lunar Module, it is that lander spacecraft that helped Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to first step on the moon. The Lunar Module made its first landing in 1969. It was built with the help of 7000+ engineers, technicians, and mechanics. This brilliant invention was directed and designed by Thomas J. Kelly who was the head of the entire project.
The next interesting invention is the object what we all find in our computer table, the Mousepad. These mousepads help us to move the cursor from one place to another very smoothly. These were invented in 1968 by Jack Kelly, a very good friend of Douglas Engelbart, the inventor of the computer mouse. Talking about the computer, did you know even printer was an American invention and was first invented in the same year when the lunar module was invented, 1969. The printer was invented by a Xerox engineer, Gary Starkweather. Earlier printers were only able to print two pages and were very rare but now we all know the abundance of printers everywhere and also the magic of "Ctrl+P". Running shoes is also an American invention from the track and field coach, Bill Bowerman in 1971. Bill was in search of a light and strong grip shoe so one day he poured a little amount of rubberized liquid in a waffle maker and came up with the rubber sole and that's how he introduced waffle sole shoes. Do you know, Bill Bowerman is the founder of the famous shoe and sportswear brand Nike? The last invention we are going to talk about is the Video Game Consoles. The inventor of video game console is Ralph H. Baer and he named his first console as "Magnavox Odyssey" in 1972. He was the man who turned the boring Television sets into an exciting video game system to which we are hooked on till today. So these were some of the interesting inventions from America, and we will continue to talk about more such inventions in our subsequent episodes. www.chimesradio.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChimesRadio Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
