INVENTIONS of the 20th Century - a Photo Feature
Imagine
a world without airplanes, automobiles, nylon or penicillin, a world
where people don't listen to the radio, watch television, work at their
computers, or listen to compact disks. Impossible? It's difficult today
to envision such a world, but 100 years ago, none of these things existed.
Great
inventions in such fields as transportation, telecommunications, medicine,
and industry during the last century have indeed permanently changed
the way we live and work. Yet we tend to forget how much we owe to the
creativity and vision of the men and women who first made these indispensable
things that are now an integral part of our daily lives. Inventions
of the 20th Century celebrates a selection of these notable inventions,
reminding us just how far we've come in a mere ten decades.
Inventions
of the 20th Century was generously donated to the Franklin Pierce Law
Center Intellectual Property Library. It is one of a series of eight
collectible calendars for the year 2000. Each calendar in the series
presents a fascinating, informative, and visually appealing look at
notable people, innovative ideas, and important events of the past century.
