3 High Impact Inventions

Mobile Phones
Mobile phones started from the idea that communication could be easier, cheaper,
portable and more comfortable, they had the idea that the day that you could
communicate with someone anywhere in the world only by dialing a number would
eventually come.
The first mobile pone was made by Motorola in 1973. And then they started
developing more and more mobile phones. Many people say that it was developed
by the army, they wanted that kind of technology to use it to communicate within
them.
After investing in this technology, it grew incredibly fast, not only in development
but in number of users, which meant a lot of money. At this point, the history of
mobile phones development is divided in 4 principal ages; 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G.
From 1990 to 2011, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions grew from 12.4 million
to over 6 billion, penetrating about 87% of the global population.1

Condoms
Condoms have been used for hundred of years at least, they were made of paper,
horns, and turtle shells in Japan for example. They were considered high-class
society tems. People used to think that using condoms was something bad
because countries wanted their population to grow. Nowadays condoms are made
of latex and many others materials that are cheaper and more comfortable, the
latex condoms were invented in 1920. Now the majority of the worlds population
know and have used the condom, it is also used to prevent sexual infections such
as SIDA and Lupus.
