À propos de cet audio

 In Stories of Inventors, Doubleday takes you on a fascinating journey through the history of everyday inventions that have shaped the technological landscape we know today. While some of these inventions may have faded into obscurity, each tale highlights the inventors resilience, creativity, and keen observations. Doubleday provides a fresh and engaging background on each technology, illustrating how even outdated innovations paved the way for modern advancements. For instance, Edisons incandescent bulb may be giving way to energy-efficient CFLs, but his groundbreaking work in indoor lighting eliminated the reliance on inefficient gas lamps. Similarly, while traditional trains for mail and freight have been mostly replaced by nimble semi-trailers, a remarkable example shows how train technology inspired in-flight refueling systems for aircraft, ensuring they can stay airborne without landing. Even though computers have taken over from typewriters, the algorithms behind word processing software and web browsers still echo the functionalities of their predecessors. Join us as we celebrate the inventors whose dreams and designs have forever altered our world. (Summary By LivelyHive)Copyright Science Fiction Collection Art Monde
