INVENTIONS OF THE WORLD
DVD player
The entertainment industry has gone from black and white to VHS all the way to Blu-ray today, and who knows what the technology will come up with next. A prototype of the DVD player was developed in 1994 by, once again
Toshiba. It was a sophisticated and rather messy pile of circuit boards nicknamed Fire Tower; the second prototype was much tidier called Vanguard. Regardless of its neatness, the prototype was proof that DVDs audio/video quality put VHS to shame
They came out for sale in 1996 and it only took one year until the first feature film was put on DVD and released.
Boombox
-
The intention was to allow the audience to record radio broadcasts to a cassette with a single device
The original boombox was so popular in Japan that a lot of different companies followed suit by developing the same thing.
Sunglasses
At first, he focused on manufacturing hair accessories for women, but his decision to switch company direction turned out to be a good choice.
The first pair of sunglasses was sold in Boardwalk, New Jersey and it only got better for Foster from there. By 1930, sunglasses could be found in literally every store in the U.S. As his business was rapidly growing
Although protective eyewear had been in existence since the 12th century, the first modern mass-produced sunglasses were introduced in 1929 by Sam Foster, ten years after he founded Foster Grant plastic company
Aerosol spray can
The first patent for the aerosol spray can was granted in 1927 to a Norwegian engineer named Erik Rotheim.
Despite the potential usefulness, it was largely undeveloped for no apparent reason (studies concerning the dangers of CFCs and Volatile Organic Compounds in aerosol cans started decades after the invention)
The aerosol spray can was first put to good use in 1941 to deploy small amounts of pesticides by the American troops stationed in insect-infested areas
The cocktail inside the can was composed of sesame oil, pyrethrum, and Freon-12. Each can contained 16-ounces of bug bomb.
Wi-Fi router
-
It was probably the real first Wi-Fi architecture in use. The first version of the 802.11 protocol came to scene in 1997.
Today, Wi-Fi is integrated into more than 9,000 devices including phones, TVs, laptops, and even wristwatches
