Inventions That Change Our Lives.

#1 The Ultrasound Scanner

#2 Black Box Flight Recorder

#3 Wi-Fi.

#4 GPS Mapping

#5 Medical Nano-patches.


These and dozens more inventions have one common denominator. They were all innovated by Australian scientific R&D..

More than any other semi-recent inventions I can think of, Wi-Fi has had the biggest impact on the worlds population.

Re: Inventions That Change Our Lives.

I think you're right saying the internet that really has had an impact and changed most people's lives. Makes you wonder what future inventions could have the same impact....there will be some but we might not be around to see them

How about a 'beam me back Scottie' button? Now that might be interesting!

Re: Inventions That Change Our Lives.

All good inventions Swannie. There are some clever people in Australia and there's nothing wrong in wanting to point that out. Have you tried looking for British inventions that changed the World, or for inventions made by other developed countries?

Other nations invented items that were quite technical for their time and each generation builds on the knowledge of previous ones. For instance, what would have been the point of the wi-fi we have today without the Internet being invented first? Would the Internet have been possible without the previously developed electronics being there to run it?

Valves to transistors to integrated circuits to microchips ..and so on. The inventions you have mentioned were made possible by these. Who knows (without research) what nationalities were involved in developing them? I mean, nobody starts from scratch do they?

Thanks to Australia for the inventions but lets not forget the knowledge and innovations developed by many nations in the World that make newer ones possible ..whoever gets credited with them.
