Ten of the greatest inventors who helped change the world.
1. Thomas Edison (1847–1931) Edison filed over 1000 patents. He developed and innovated a wide range of products from the electric light bulb to the phonograph and motion picture camera.
2. The Wright BrothersSuccessfully designed, built and flew the first powered aircraft, showing that man could fly. One of the most important inventions of Twentieth Century.
3. Benjamin Franklin (1705–1790) Polymath who discovered electricity and invented the Franklin stove.
4. Nikola Tesla(1856–1943) Serbian-born scientist who emigrated to the US. He was a brilliant scientist who played a key role in the development of AC electricity, through the AC induction motor, transformer, and Tesla coil. His method of AC electricity has been the template for global electricity use.
5. Charles Babbage (1791–1871) Created first mechanical computer, which proved to be the prototype for future computers. Considered to be the ‘Father of Computers’.
6. James Watt (1736–1819) Inventor of the steam engine, which was critical in the industrial revolution. His invention of a separate condensing chamber greatly improved the efficiency of steam.
7. Alexander Bell (1847–1922) Credited with inventing the first practical telephone. Also worked on optical telecommunications, aeronautics and hydrofoils.
8. Leonardo Da Vinci (1452–1519) One of the greatest ever minds. He invented models that proved workable 3-500 years later.
9. Galileo (1564–1642) Developed a powerful telescope and confirmed revolutionary theories about the nature of the world. Also developed an improved compass.
10. Tim Berners Lee Developed the http:// protocol for the internet, making the World Wide Web freely available.

Tesla and not the unethical edison should be no1. Edison followed where Tesla led. When asked how it feels to be the smartest man, Einstein replied “I don’t know, ask Nicola Tesla.
If you have Babbage up there, you need to include Ada Lovelace who worked right alongside of him. She wrote the first computer algorithm. And if you are using wireless, you can thank Hedy Lamar.
Thank u. This information has helped me a lot for my homework. And this is all anwers that i wanted to know. Thank u very much. U help many many peolpe for their projects,homeworks and etc.
Computer an electronic device which is capable of receiving information (data) in a particular form and of performing a sequence of operations in accordance with a predetermined but variable set of procedural instructions (program) to produce a result in the form of information or signals. Therefor mechanical device isn’t computer so really, 5. Charles Babbage (1791–1871) didn’t invent computer he invented something completely different, saying mechanical object is computer is same as saying your mechanical car jack is computer. As much as we want to identify history’s inventors today’s being postmodern with ideas progressing, sometimes it is more realistic to accept something new also unique has been invented.

I am thankful to all.
It’s good. It helps me a lot in project.
this is a good websites
I thought Lawrence Roberts was responsible for interconnecting computer networks into the first internet in the 1960’s.
Thanks a million. This information has helped my 11years old son in his assignment It’s has also helped him in his exam. He is ever grateful.
