Reading through the timeline I would have to go with the Hard Drive and RAM for being the most important hardware innovations. The two most important software innovations I would have to go with inventing the web and network operating systems. I believe the Web is a very important innovation because it connects the whole world together through this technology. Anyone that has access to a computer and internet can search for any information at anytime. It doesn't matter what time of the day it is, there are no holding for the next customer service rep to assist you. You control fully what you want to find out. I know I have used the Web plenty of times just find directions. Now if it was back before the Web I would have to guess where I was on a fold out map and go from there. The Web has made reasearching projects and getting information very easily attainable for almost everyone. The second important innovation for software I would say is network operating systems. These systems are great. With my job all of our information, projects, operating instructions, everything can be accesed by everyone through a shared drive. Everyone that has access to our network can access those files and get the same information. It makes it easier then sending emails to everyone. Just save it on a shared drive and everyone can look at the information as needed. It also makes it easier to use printers and the need for every single office to have a printer. With network operating systems you can simply map a printer that is in the other room and use it. These two innovations have had a huge impact I think on everyones life. It is amazing to see all the new software and hardware come out almost yearly…

Next would have to be the dishwasher. One of the things I love about the dishwasher is the immense amount of time it saves. Many dishes can be washed at once in the amount of time it would usually take to wash much less by hand. A disadvantage of the dishwasher would include pre-washing. Usually the dirty dishes need to be rinsed off thoroughly before being placed in the dishwasher, as sometimes it does not clean the dishes completely. Overall, I still consider the dishwasher to be a great product due to the busy, hectic lives of people of the twenty and twenty-first centuries.…
My computer helps me do almost all of my school work, and provides a never ending source of entertainment via the internet and PC games. I also value my phone, because it keeps me in touch with family and friends that are far away, and also gives me the opportunity to meet and make new friends on social media sites.…
Light Bulbs used to use a lot of energy, yet since their invention, they have been perfected to use the least amount of electricity as possible, maybe in a couple of years they can use even less than they do now. Many of these are food items and can’t really be perfected, yet people enjoy them everyday. Although, some other inventions still help people everyday, like the spray paint. Spray paint help color things easier and faster than the simple paint and brush. Hamburgers and Soda are a favorite couple for lunch, back in 1893 and today.…

It is doubtful that I could do without any of these such as my cell phone, computer and internet to name a few for even a short period of time; nor would I want to. I use my laptop every day for class and I am always researching information. There is a wealth of information on just about everything one needs to know. Communication has been made easier now. We can video chat with anyone in the world. Television, refrigerators, microwaves, vacuums and dishwashers have made life so much easier. I enjoy playing video games with my friends and yes sometimes it makes me lazy, but it is very relaxing. Although sometimes I will not get some work done that I should have because I have become engrossed with the game. The internet allows us to buy and return items online without having to go to a store. The internet is good for advertising in business and the fastest way to get information out…
In the Information age there has been also many helpful things like the Internet, again hundreds of millions of people rely on the internet for information each day! In the information age there were a lot of things made that can save your life, like the GPS. If you are lost in the woods the GPS will help you navigate where you are and will bring you to safety.

Another thing made in the Information age is drugs and radios. Radios report news throughout the world, just think where we would be without them, and drugs are bad for people and they kill thousands a day, but the drugs that help save lives are the good ones.…
What would we do if paper had not been invented we may still be etching on stone and bones? Cai Lun successfully invented the very first batch of paper using fish nets and tree bark around 105 BCE. The invention of toilet paper would not have been possible without making paper first. Navigation was made easier with the invention of the compass. Would marinara sauce taste as good if it were not covering pasta or ravioli? Pasta was invented around 300 BCE, nearly 2000 years before the Italian or the Arabs. Would the wars of the world ended the way they did without gunpowder? Around 850 CE, Chinese alchemist discovered gunpowder while searching for immortality. Many historical records and books might not have been made if it were not for the ease of moveable-type printing, which allowed for mass production of written material. Earthquake detection is another invention that many might not have lived without it. The early seismograph created during the Han dynasty around 132 CE used a pendulum to alert for a coming earthquake. While it is not known who first invented the sundial, the first mechanical clock was an important innovation by the ancient Chinese. (Clark, 2009; Laudan, 2000; University C. , n.d; Unknown, Top 10 greatest inventions of ancient China, 2007)…
