Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of automobiles
in the late 1800s. Inventors made better and better internal combustion engines. These are the
engines we use today in cars, trucks, buses, and airplanes.
The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied
electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp,
phonograph, and other things that ran on electricity in the late 1800s.
New things are invented today faster than ever before. Inventors are making new kitchen
appliances, toys, computers, video games, telephones, and all kinds of other things. The ways
people invent things have changed over time. Until the 1900s, most inventors worked alone.
Today, most inventions come from scientists and engineers who work in teams.
