IMPORTANT TURNING POINTS IN THE 20TH CENTURY
TRACTOR:
The introduction of the tractor meant for the entry field to the modern era. With the use of this machine is able to make possible, in a fewhours, a job that took several days to the farmer. In 1907 Henry Ford began manufacturing tractors in series with auto components, which christened Fordsons, which were very successful and were exportedto Europe after World War II.
RADAR:
Marconi who had patented the radio in 1987 in England, suggested in 1922 that could detect vessels in poor visibility. This idea was developed in 1931 bybuilding a computer to send radio pulses boats detectors. The first radar was installed in Normandie, French ship, to locate the presence of icebergs.
CREDIT CARD:
It was invented by Frank McNamara in1950, who issued your card to 200 customers so that they could use at 27 restaurants in New York, whence came the appointment of Diners' Club. In 1958, American Express introduced its version of auniversal credit card. In 1958, Bank of America issued the first credit card, the BankAmericard (now VISA).
ARTIFICIAL SATELLITE:
In 1957 was launched by the former Soviet Union, the firstartificial satellite in Earth orbit, called Sputnik 1 ("fellow traveler" in Russian). Sputnik 2 was launched a few months later, carrying the first living passenger, the little dog Laika ("barking"). This newcontraption made now to develop long communications instantly or can predict the weather with amazing accuracy.
LASER:
This device, which uses a quantum mechanical effect, to generate a lightbeam with unique properties that make that has a wide range of applications, from medicine to the automotive, telecommunications and aeronautics, was invented in 1960 by the physicist Theodore Maiman.The word comes from English laser laser, an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Inventions with lasers:
* Arrival of electricity to cities.
* Creation...
