New Inventions in the 1800s
New inventions start to grow in the beginning of the 1800s. Such as new forms of drill for oil, new ways of energy, communication, and the construction of the transcontinental railroad with the creation of the Bessemer process. I have see a big change in peoples lives with this new inventions.
Rock Oil company sent Edwin L. Drake to Titusville,Pennsylvania to drill for oil. The idea to drill for oil was new and many were skeptical of the project.This new method would be cheaper and more efficient. Oil quickly became a major industry. I met many people that talked about drilling for oil. They were excited about the chance to get rich quickly. I think this new invention was the beginning of a new Industry and it needed many people to work in it.
Thomas A. Edison made a new source of energy, the electric power and created the phonograph. Then he try to experiment with electric lighting and he tried different ways to produce light within a sealed glass bulb. Finally at 1800 Edison and his team found a workable filament made of bamboo fiber.
Since i have been living here, I see this experiment had develop affordable lighting in homes and business replacing the old oil lamps and gaslights that we used to deal with. Later, Lewis Latimer create the light bulb and George Westinghouse, invented the alternating current. This last form of electricity called alternating current was the most cheap and traveled longer distances. I can feel a big change in my lifestyle with this last new invention related from electric current.Communication was the next step of grow after electricity in the nation. The creation of the telegraph and the telephone, most people now can communicate with others around the nation in a short time and made it more popular.
Finally the building of the Transcontinental Railroad cost to cost, had develop to create the Bessemer Process. This process made easier and cheaper to remove the impurities of the steel. Then Bessemer Process made possible the mass production, which is the production of great amounts of steel lighter,stronger, and more flexible than iron. New age of building began when the Brooklyn Bridge was build in 1869 and new taller buildings "skyscraper" with 16 stories was create. I can believe how the country had develop during this short period of time, I think allot of people believe that this is a good change for the country and the economy.
These new examples of inventions like the drill for oil, the develop of electricity, and the building grow had help to promote America's huge industrial growth during the period of the 1800s.Many people that I know here toll me that their lifestyle had change for good and learned new ways of things to do.
