Modern inventions make life better for people
See more country, then telegraph your family from afar.
There were many inventions that involved transportation, communication, and production in factories, that made life easier for people all around. Ford was the first company to make a large number of automobiles, this made it possible for more people to use them. The invention of dynamite helped with construction mainly, it was a much safer explosive then others used during this time period. Roads and train rails were build faster and safer. With the invention of steam ships, goods were transported from port to port faster. The three inventions that improved communication were the telegraph, telephone and the radio. These made families be able to communicate within a short time period. Also made it so then countries and businesses could communicate over seas.
First three wheeled automobile
The first combustion engine was invented by Karl Benz in 1886. This helped move people from cites and supplies to and from cities faster than they have before.
Steamship
The steamship helped people and supplies move from place to place faster. They then developed steam engines for trains, these were more economical to use than the coal was. This caused rapid growth of train routes across the countries.
Telegraph
This invention was the first of the three communication inventions. It sent coded messages over wires using electricity. Making communication faster than it had ever been, this changed everything for big businesses.
Electricity makes life brighter and gives us diverse goods!
Electricity replaced steam power making it the main source of industrial power. The dynamo was and is the main source that helps electrical generators and transformers. In 1870 the first electric light bulb was invented, it made cities brighter and made it so then factories could stay open after dark, making city life more alive. Before factories used large amounts of workers and power-driven machines. Then in the 1800's manufactures started making interchangeable parts. Next came the assembly line in the 1900's. These production methods made prices of goods lower.
