Inventor's Day

In recognition of the great contributions that inventors have made to the world, National Inventors Day is celebrated on February 11. This date was chosen because Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847. Thomas Edison was an American inventor, scientist, and businessman and is known as one of the most prolific inventors of all time. Edison invented more than 1,200 items, including the light bulb and phonograph.

What do you think is the most important invention of all time? Why? (remember to write at least 5 thoughtful sentences)

I think the computer is one of the most important inventions. I use the computer for many things like research, games, and this blog post that i'm doing right now. And those are just a few things. People also use the computer for communacation. They communacate by using email or other things like Face Time. Without the computer life would be much much harder.

Is life an invention? Is it really?
Well, I guess I'm going to report on two inventions, just in case.
Life is in my opinion, the most important invention of all time.(If it even is considered an invention.) Life is what created the keys that I am typing on. Life is me and you. You can look up the definition of life in any dictionary, but almost everyone has there own definition, and some words they use to describe it might be, 'Happy', 'Fun' or 'Pleasant', or 'Nice'. A scientist's definition might be something fancy, like: "Life is what god created (Or whatever religion you belong to.) Life is..." and that will last a while. That even may be what you think life is. But it really depends on your point of view.
YOU and only you can chose what happens in your life. Your parents and teachers will make it a lot easier for you, but only you can decide your future. (That message was meant for kids.)
My next invention that I will write about (Or type, to be literal) is the automobile. Think about life (See previous paragraph) without our cars, trucks, motorcycles, or whatever type of transportation that is not man, (Or woman) powered.
Imagine walking to California to see your cousin. That would be a rather long walk. Anyway, the automobile is a very important invention.

I think right now were you are probably are in your house with all your food and drinks or wormth. Because if we did not have that stuff we would be living on the streets or I dont like to say but if you did not have food you would die or just be very skinny. Just think right now if you lived living on the streets with nothing to do or lay down. That would be very sad because there would probably be no school EVER!!!!!! So just be thankful for what you have because some pepole are living on the streets.

I think that one of the most important inventions was the computer. The computer helps us accomplish many things, such as work. Many jobs such as Microsoft require a coputer for many of the workers.It can also be used for fun. The computer is a very important invention.

I think one of the most important things is shelter. We don't have to worry about geting wet on a rainy day. We have something to protect our heads. Shelter can be strong or soft. your shelter is hard to break down. But it needs to be strong

For one reason is that with out electricity(light) we could not see.I really think that computers and laptops are the most important inventions. They have really made a huge impact on today's wold in technology.Games were also a new form of technology. It would be a very hard time for people now if we didn't have technology.

I think that words were a great invention. If nobody ever came up with words we wouldn't be able to comunicate with eachother. We wouldn't even be able to read and write. If there were no words not a single person would be able to go to school and get a good education. There are so many ways I could describe how words are so wonderful, but then I'd be here all day.

I think the best idvention is a hospitle and all of the types of medicne. Without medicne there would be lots of sick pepole all over the world. And without a hospitle you would have to go to a tent for medical attention. And a tent dosn't have very good shelter. We should be thankful for hospitles to go to if we break a bone or something like that because many pepole in the world have to go to a tent for medical attention.

I think the airplane is one of the most important inventions. It made traveling large distances easier. Instead of driving somewhere you can fly there much faster. Before airplanes were invented, people from different countries would probably never see each other. Now, you can travel from the United States all the way to Japan in one day. Airplanes have been developed so much that they can break the sound barrier. Airplanes also helped develop the idea for the first rockets sent into space.

i think the computer is the best invention ever. because if we did not have the computer, i would not be able to do this blog. i would not be able to play my favorite computer game (moshi monsters). We would not be able to find out stuff we don't know on google. If you had a friend in another state you would not be able to contact them with email. A lot of people need to work on line so if there was not a computer they would not be able to do that.

My favorite invention is the Kindle Fire.This is my favorite invention because it allows me to carry more than 100 books in a single device. It also lets me access the internet. I can aslo download lots of apps, like Angry Birds, Temple Run & Bad Piggies. It also provides me a way to let me listen to music and watch movies.

Lauren said...

My favorte invention is a computer. I can play games on the computer that you can't play on another deavise.The computer is also helpful to other people who have to use it to do part of there job on it.Those people also have to use the internet and without computers we would'nt have that.I woud also not be able to do this blog.

I think the house is the best invention ever because without a house, we would be living in boxes on the street and have nowhere to store our food and drinks. We would also have no bed to sleep on, or blankets to keep us warm on a rainy day, or pillows to rest our head on at night. Houses give us heaters on a rainy day,and showers to keep clean. We would not have room for T.V's, or computers and laptops, or even pets. Houses can be useful in THOUSAND'S of ways. Houses give people like us food, water, space, shelter, and warmth. Houses are a very great invention that help us in thousands and thousands of ways. Houses should be the number one thing to buy when you grow up.

it is very cool to do inventions.If we did not have inventers we would not have that many cool theings then right now.if we did not have computers right now i would not get to research and learn a lot of stuff.if there was also not any inventers we would not have any food or dinks or technology even.There would not be even mail maybe to send people so w should be happy that we have a lot of things now of days.

I think the most important invention was the wheel. I think that because of the wheel other people invented clocks, cars, bicycles, and other things that include wheels. I car without wheels wouldn't move. A clock without gears wouldn't show time. Wheels are very important.
Another invention I think is important is fire. Fire gives us warmth and it helps cook food. Many years after fire was invented the stove was invented. The stove needs fire or else it wont warm anything. Fire is a very important thing in life.

I think that one of the most popular and important inventions is your house, because if you didn't have a house you will be outside in the coldness and don't have any food or water. Also if you didn't have a house you will be sleeping on the ground and your back will hurt, be soar, also be uncomfortably. You will also be thirsty because you have no type of drink like water,juice,and soda.You won't have any type of food like the food you have now like cheeseburgers, hamburgers,noodles,pizza,or soup. Your lucky to have all this because some people don't, they live in a house they live on the streets.
So be grateful of what you have and never ever wast it because think about the people on the streets with no home,no water,or food.

I think that the smallpox vaccine was a very important invention because when smallpox broke out many people died. Thankfully someone noticed that farmers with cows never got the disease. It was because of cowpox, a very similar disease.Because it was so similar peoples' immune system thought that the smallpox was cowpox, witch was easier to get rid of. When cowpox was intentionally given to people, there was little to no smallpox left.

I think cell phones are the most important inventions right now. Why? Well if we didn't have cell phones you wouldn't be able to call 911 if you got hurt on a mountain while hiking. It is also great to use just to talk to your friends. And now days the phones carry games. So if you get stuck in traffic or in a long line it will help you pass time.

laura said...

I think that cell phones are importent.Why because you can text people if you fogot something.you can call 911.also you can text to your friends.also just to have fun.

Alexander said...

The lightblub I think is the most important invention of all time. It has helped produce light and even warmth. Many people use it for different things(Expect vampires)but seriously it is very helpful. You can even use light for reading. The point is that light can be very helpful.

Kai said...

I think electricity is the most important invention. If we did not invent electricity we would still be killing whales for there oil. Then whales would be extinced because they are already endangered. My least favorite invention is the gun. Why would people want to kill each other? I think we should all live in peace.

Adam said...

I think that computers are an important invention. Without computers we wouldn't be able to do the blog. There would be any games to play. You wouldn't be able to search stuff. That's why I think computers are important.
