Interesting facts about technology.

From medicines to tools, technology not only will usually

help to improve peoples lives but strongly contributes to the

economy and stability of nations around the world. There are

instances when certain technologies could devalue a society.

Below are some interesting facts about technology.:

A dentist is the inventor of the electric chair The Apple II had a hard drive of only 5 megabytes when it

was launched. The first photo camera took 8 hours to take a photo, during

which you would need to remain still. The Kleenex tissue was initially a filter for gas masks. Automobile transmissions used whale oil up until 1973. At least 1300 inventions were patented by Thomas

Edison during his entire lifetime.

You see barcodes on a lot of merchandise being sold these days but have you ever wondered what the very first item scanned and sold with a barcode was? it was a pack of Wrigley gum.

Benjamin Franklin invented flippers for swimming in the year 1717 and was inducted into the international swimming hall of fame for the invention.

It’s true, the match was invented after the cigarette lighter. Interesting and kinda strange!

The international space station is traveling at an astonishing 17,500 miles per hour.
