Lots of discoveries that occur throughout the human life on earth, hundreds maybe even thousands of discoveries. But without 8 of this invention, surely we still live in the civilization that is not as advanced as today.
1. FIRE
Early humans living in primitive and do not know fire. Some researchers said that early humans discovered fire by accident when lightning struck the trees in the colony. Since the fire is found, the human civilization a step further and discovered the cooking system, modern hunting, and lighting.
2. LANGUAGES
The discovery of the fire is not directly create the lifestyle of the colony, and gathered since early humans who fear the dark near the fire source. This encourages the creation of a communication system which we are familiar with the language. This is where the later developments in human civilization and communication between people spread throughout the Earth's landmass.
3. WHEELS
With the rapid communication system, the distance became a problem when a man wants to visit other humans. Forest and land conditions are bad to the barrier before the end of a round object with a central axis is found, these objects we are familiar with the name of the wheel. Human civilization and then expand again with the creation of the train, the first vehicle invented by man.
4. Munition
Battle among humans, even since the days of primitive man, before the invention of gunpowder, war closely and use sharp weapons such as spears and arrows. Be the greatest invention of gunpowder in human civilization as generating ideas for creating weapons of war that great distance, such as guns, cannons, etc..
Gunpowder or black powder explosives are made from a mixture of sulfur, charcoal and potassium nitrate, which burns very quickly and the material drivers of the firearms and fireworks. Gunpowder was invented by Chinese alchemists in the 9th century when they were trying to make a potion for eternal life. The discovery of gunpowder is thought to result from chemical experiments for centuries. Potassium nitrate has been found by Chinese culture in the mid-first century, and much evidence that its use with sulfur is widely used as a drug. An article about the chemistry of China from the year 492 wrote that the potassium nitrate produced purple flame when burned, making it can be recognized and studied further.
5. MONEY
Humans are social creatures, even since the first humans were created, they need each other. This create barter system in the social life of primitive man. However, since the found money, a barter system to disappear. Without the discovery of the money system, we must bring a horse from Indonesia in exchange for a TV in China.
6. ELECTRICAL
Electrical in nature since the beginning created the earth, but some of the figures examined until the discovery of electricity. In the case of electricity, there are many figure who have participated. Call it de Coulomb, Alessandro Volta, Hans C. Cersted, and Andre Marie Ampere. They are considered "good-good" best in the field of electricity. However, of all that, one should not forget the name of a very meritorious and is known as a pioneer in electricity and magnetism. He is Michael Faraday, a British scientist. Mihael faraday discovered the first electric motor, a first scheme the use of electric current to create something moving objects. No matter how primitive, Faraday's discovery is "ancestor" of all electric motors are used the world today. Since the first discovery in 1821, Michael Faraday was self-taught scientist's name became famous. Findings are considered as a pacesetter in the field of electricity.
7. TELECOMMUNICATIONS
With the discovery of electricity, also found an invention that changed the face of the world that allows humans to communicate. Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci, (13 April 1808-18 October 1889) was an inventor Italian nationality discovery is a modern communication tool that is needed by today's society for social life, namely the telephone.
Generally, better known as the inventor of the telephone was Alexander Graham Bell, but it seems history is to be rewritten because it is an immigrant from Firenze (Florence), Italy named Antonio Meucci had invented the telephone in 1849 and patented his work in 1871. During this time, Alexander Graham Bell is known as the father of the telephone, but on June 11, 2002 in the United States Congress, Antonio Meucci as the inventor of the telephone set.
8. WORLD WIDE TRANSACTION
This discovery is the most modern systems, creating virtual transactions and money exchange business systems are entirely new, for example stocks, investments, etc.. In addition the present invention produces a credit card payment system through which a breakthrough system popular in the world.
