WORLD CHANGERS: New series

Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

WORLD CHANGERS

Human inventions and technologies have shaped civilizations and transformed life on the Earth.  As expectations and capabilities evolve, each new generation possesses its own set of innovative thinkers.

Right from the invention of the wheel to the development of Mars rover, several inventions are revolutionary. Most major inventions don't have one inventor. Throughout the years, many innovative inventors have had their hand in both the elevation and evolution of an invention.

Here is a list of our top picks of revolutionary inventions that changed the world:

1. Wheel

The wheel stands out as the OG of engineering marvels and one of the most famous inventions that influenced numerous other things. This primitive technology made it easier for all of us to travel. From the archeological excavations, the oldest known wheel is from Mesopotamia, around 3500 B.C.

As a result of advancement in the new and innovative design of wheels, industrialization could take root.The wheel serves a vital purpose in our lives, and we couldn't imagine the world without them.

2. Compass

Created for spiritual and navigational purposes, the earliest compasses were most likely invented by the Chinese in around 1050 BC. It was made of lodestones, which is a naturally magnetized iron ore.

The invention of the electromagnet in 1825 led to the development of the modern compass. The invention of the compass certainly helped modern navigation more than our GPS-needing culture could understand.

3. Automobile

Although the foundation to the modern car year was laid in 1886 by German inventor Karl Benz, Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century. Henry Fordinnovated mass-production techniques that became standard, with Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. However, he certainly wasn't the only person to develop the horseless carriage.

Vehicle production and sales are one of the major indicators of economic status. Moreover, it influenced the technological advances in petroleum refining, steel making, paint and plate-glass manufacturing, and other industrial processes.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
