Greatest Technological Inventions of All Time

Since the age of modern man began, the world has seen a progression of innovation and invention. From primitive developments such as the wheel and paper to today's high-tech gadgets, there's certainly no shortage of impressive developments that have changed the way we live and work. In modern times, some of these inventions have become indispensable to our daily routines. Here is a list of some such greatest inventions of all time that has changed the life of modern man.

Mobile Phones:

It is undeniable that the technology behind the mobile phone is one of the greatest inventions and that advances in technology keep making the cell phone more and more a must have device. Cellular phones first became widely available in the United States in the 1990s, but their use has increased dramatically since then and it has changed the world of communication.

GPS Technology:

Originally developed as a navigation system by the United States military in 1978, the Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a network of satellites around the Earth to pinpoint the exact position of a receiver anywhere on the planet. Thanks to the GPS and its integration in just about everything tech-related, most of you will never get lost again.

Some Amazing Inventions that Remained Unnoticed

3DV Systems produced a video camera that can capture depth information, which is used to build the 3D model, along with video. The name of the video camera is ZCam and its technology is based on the Time of Flight principle. (Via 3dvsystems)

JetPack

Jet pack allows a single user to fly in the sky. This thing is normally seen in science fictions. But they really exist now. TAM is the first and only company in the world that produces a complete package of a custom designed Rocket Belt using the most advanced technology and aerospace materials.

Virtual Goggles

Virtual worlds have been into our computers for many years by the virtue of technology. Now, virtual reality (VR) will be in our living rooms. The underground effort that has been an experimental fantasy for decades has become reality now (Via Softpedia News).

Contact Lenses That Change Color To Alert Diabetics

Jin Zhang, a biochemical engineering professor at the University of Western Ontario, has developed a revolutionary technology that has came into being to help the diabetic patients. He developed Contact Lenses that change color to alert diabetics of glucose level. These lenses measure blood sugar levels without drawing blood daily. It uses extremely small nanoparticles embedded into the hydrogel lenses. (Via ImpactLab).
