Top 10 Inventions
For me, there was no specific order to these as I found each invention very important in their own regard.
Internet: }The
internet spawned a revolution and a multitude of technological advances by
increasing the productivity and efficiency of workers worldwide.
Lightbulb: }The
lightbulb allowed for an inherent change in the way that work is done. Now, we
can work any time of the day so long as there is electricity and the proper
outlets.
Telephones: }Telephones
have allowed for more interconnectivity between people, businesses, and
nations. Speed between trade and interactions increased exponentially.
Electricity: }The
Power Grid links us all together and allows the people to work at their own
hours, heat water, and use their computer.
Airplanes: }Increased
the speed of travel and business worldwide by connected airports and shipping
lines. Airplanes have created a more interconnected world.
Radio: }Radio
is fundamental in broadcasting information to the masses as well as informing
troops about enemy location through coded signals. It changed the way wars were
fought.
Email: }Email
has allowed for people to keep conversations with others no matter their
location so long as they have internet connectivity. Businesses have adapted to
use it as a circulatory agent within and outside of the firm.
Automobiles: }Cars
have changed the way we get from place to place more locally though allowing
speedy highways to be built and increase worker productivity through faster
transportation.
Smart Phones: }Smart
phones have invaded our lives leaving us always connected to the internet and
accessible at any time of day. Work now is tied to us through the phone.
GPS/Satellites: }GPS
has been fundamental in changing the way people get from place to place through
the triangulation of satellite signals. Satellites have allowed for information
to be beamed up and down to very specific locations.
About Me
Hello everybody,
I am Kyle Jackson, a third year here at U.C. Berkeley who is studying Economics. I am also pursuing a minor in Computer Science as well as Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. There are many reasons why I am taking IEOR 190G. First, patents have always interested me in how they work and especially the patent laws that protect our innovation. Secondly, this class fulfills the CET concentration which I found out about from IEOR 171 Leadership in Tech Firms. Overall, I am hoping to get out a lot of information about patents that could be useful when going for interviews with tech firms that are constantly creating content as well as applying for patents. Furthermore, I think I can gain from the experience of others in this class as they may have much entrepreneurship experience and talent which is a field I would love to explore.
Regards,
Kyle Jackson
