Project “Great innovators and inventions of modern times”
Here is a set of websites you can browse in order to decide on and to find information about the invention or the innovator in your digital stories. You can also use the list of the Greatest Engineering Achievements of the National Academy of Science!
I have already typed the key expression "famous inventions" to save you some time but do not hesitate to try using other keywords, as well!

I think that Alexander graham bell made one of the most important and useful inventions of all time because without the telephone we wouldn’t be able to talk to each other and to me that is one of the most important things.
I think that we should talk about the telephone becose without the telephone we wouldn’t be able to communicate with people that are far,far away from us.
Great point, Tania! Food for thought for everyone… try to imagine how life was without the telephone. And how has the invention changed our lives for the better?
In my opinion the greatest invention of all is the light bulb which was made by Thomas Edison.The light bulb is the easiest way to see in the dark. Without it we would need candles and/or fire.
Nice observations, Zahos! How has the invention of the light bulb affected our lives?
In my opinion a very important invention is that of radium discovered by Marie Curie, because the radioactivity of radium can successfully attack cancer and save many lives.
I also believe that the discovery of the radium has benefited humanity, Zoe. However, that was a discovery, not an invention, as it had been there before Marie Curie discovered it and let the world know about its characteristics.
I think that Gutenberg’s invention the printing press is very important because without it, we wouldn’t be able to create books so fast and print.
Nice comment, John! But what are the consequences for humanity?
I think we should talk about the airplane, because whithout the airplane we wouldn’t be able to travel very long distances.
Ok, George! Good point!But as I wrote elsewhere, we need to think beyond the obvious. What are the benefits of travelling long distances?
I think we should talk about Albert Einstein’s innovation, the Theory of Relativity if it wasn’t for this theory scientists wouldn’t be able to understand the universe well.
John, a scientific theory, if proven, is a discovery, not an invention, because it is not something new. It simply hasn’t been discovered before.
I will talk about the electric lamp because without it we wouldn’t be able to see in the dark!!!
I believe that is a great invention that changed the world !!!
Helen, you can also say in what ways seeing in the dark has changed the world…for example, I think it is a great innovation because the light bulb has always been affordable for everyone, so rich and poor people can benefit equally from the invention
In my opinion an important invention is that of the Wright Brothers. They invented the airplane. Without airplanes we would not be able to travel comfortably and quickly.
Comfort is definitely a great advantage of air transportation, when you compare it to other forms of transportation like buses or cars. With wider seats, more legroom and in-flight entertainment, flying is a chance to relax. Good point, Zoe!
I think we should present the internet because it is very useful,important and necessary in everyday life.If it wasn’t for the internet we wouldn’t be able to communicate,collect information and even work using it.Today the internet becomes increasingly necessary for our lives and people can’t do without it.
Great observations, Alex! I would add that because of the internet, people can find information on almost any imaginable subject. So we have better access to knowledge, which a great accomplishment!
In my opinion the car because I believe it has changed the daily life of humans
and without a car we couldn’t be able to travel great distances.
Nice, Jim! We can travel long distances but how has this changed your life? What are the benefits of this opportunity we have?
I truly believe that the best innovation is the telephone which was created by the Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell, because it is very useful for people’s communication! If it wasn’t for the telephone, we wouldn’t be able to communicate with other people from a distance!
So, Nikiforos, now we can be connected to our friends and relatives at any time we want. Besides that, without the phone, it would more difficult to contact emergency personnel in the event that we need them. Also, it would be more difficult for businesses to spread their services in different places or countries.
I think that we should talk about Alexander Graham Bell’s invention which was the telephone. With the telephone you can talk and communicate with people all around the world. Also with the telephone so many collaborations that would otherwise be impossible have now become possible.
Nice point, Bill! If it wasn’t for the telephone, we wouldn’t be able to speak directly and keep in touch through voice conversations with loved ones who live in faraway places.
I think the electric light changed the world because without it, people wouldn’t be able to see in the dark!!! People can see much better in the streets or in their homes!!!It’s from the environment and it solved our..light problems
I think we should present the Guemberg’s invention the printing press because if it wasn’t for the printing press we wouldn’t be able to make again and again the same book so fast to read it so many people.
I agree with John, because without the printing press we wouldn’t be able to buy ready-made books and explore other interesting worlds!
So, George, without the printing press, ideas and language wouldn’t be possible to spread as it has in the modern times.
The “Antikythera mechanism” that was used by astronomers in Greece, was described as an early mechanical analog computer.It was used for timekeeping, astronomy, and navigation.This was a very important invention because it developed mathematics and astronomy.
Nice comment, Sevi, but we said that we are going to present inventions of the modern times. So, better choose another one.
okay thanks !
I agree with George because without the printing press we wouldn’t have the opportunity to buy books and comics!! I think it’s a nice idea and that it could be the subject of a digital story!
I think the electric light is a good invention because without it we wouldn’t be able to see in the dark !It’s good about good from the environment too!!!
