NHP: Hello everyone, today we will give a presentation about invention.

We
will discuss 3 main ideas including what is invention, Some inventions of all time
and effect, Some future inventions.
Firstly, what is invention, Inventions are new creations that solve problems or
enhance technologies, often developed through innovative thinking, research, and
experimentation. They can be mechanical, electrical, chemical, or conceptual.
next, Some inventions of all time and effect:

NKN: -Computer, Computers are crucial in our lives, enabling space


exploration, advanced medical science, and innovations in entertainment. The first
patented computer, ENIAC, was created by Johan Mauchly and Presper Eckert in
1946, based on Alan Turing's theory from a decade earlier.
-Smartphone, Fifteen years ago, basic mobile phones were still a novelty, and
internet access was limited and slow. The concept of a device with phone and
computer features was patented by Theodore G. Paraskevakos in 1973 but
remained dormant for over two decades. The first actively marketed smartphone
was manufactured by Japanese company NTT Docomo in 1999. By 2014, 90% of
handsets sold were either Android or Apple, with over a billion smartphones in
use.
NQN: -Microwave oven, Before the microwave, reheating or cooking food
could take up to an hour. The microwave was accidentally discovered by Percy
Spencer in 1945 when he noticed that microwaves melted a chocolate bar in his
pocket. It was patented in 1947, and the first appliances were 1.8m tall, weighed
340kg, and cost around £3,000, which was about ten times the price of a house at
that time.
-Radio, Long-distance radio transmission is an essential piece of technology for
modern life. The communication system resulted from continuous development by
many people, but the first workable radio apparatus was the brainchild of a single
Italian, Guglielmo Marconi. He devised this wireless telegraph system in 1895.

NMT:-Bicycle, The penny-farthing, or high-wheeler, was the first to be called a


bicycle, introduced in 1869 and popular for two decades. Modern bicycles with
chain-driven gears made it obsolete. The rover safety bicycle became the first
popular form, playing a significant role in transportation and women's
emancipation, helping women earn the right to vote.
: -Flashlight, A flashlight is a simple device — an electric lightbulb connected to a
switch. The first U.S. patent for the flashlight was obtained by a British inventor
named David Misell in 1899. Some of the early flashlights were donated to the
New York City police. Because early models were inefficient and needed to take a
brief “rest” to stay functional, the light only flashed multiple times instead of being
continuous, hence the name.

LHS: The last, Some future inventions:


:-E-skin, Modern technology allows global communication, but touch remains
elusive. Engineers at City University of Hong Kong developed a wireless e-skin
that enables hugs over the internet. It uses actuators to sense and convert
movements into signals, which are sent via Bluetooth and recreated as vibrations,
allowing users to "feel" each other over long distances.

NCHN: -Boom-free supersonic flight, NASA's X-59 supersonic aircraft,


designed to reduce sonic booms, is set for its first test flight at Armstrong Flight
Research Center later this year. Assembled at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works in
Palmdale, California, it aims to fly faster than sound without disturbing people on
the ground. Further test flights over inhabited areas are planned for 2024 to gauge
public response.

PDT: -Xenotransplantation, Xenotransplantation, the process of transplanting


animal organs into humans, is making progress. Pig heart transplants have been
successfully performed twice, although with limited success. Gene-editing is
necessary before transplantation to ensure immune acceptance and prevent tissue
overgrowth. While risky now, xenotransplants could become common in the
future, providing organs for humans in need.
