fork to eat number 10 Al Gore inventing
the internet the internet be easy to use
interactive experience located entirely
on one cd-rom you may have heard the
story of former US Vice President Al
Gore claiming to have invented the
internet and though he did help with the
development and legislation of such
technology the creation of the Internet
actually goes back a lot further ARPANET
the precursor to the internet was
developed in 1969 and established the
first network link in history when the
word login was successfully sent between
UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute
in the early 70s while working with
ARPANET Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn invented

9 star trek featuring the first scripted
interracial kiss on US TV where I come
from size shape or color makes no
difference it’s often said that the 1968
Star Trek episode Plato’s stepchildren
featured the first scripted interracial
kiss on American TV Kirk and Ahura
embrace and appear to touch lips however
many contend including William Shatner
himself that they actually turned their
at the last second but it’s important to
note that this wasn’t the first
interracial kiss on TV the plays hot
summer night and you in your small
corner were broadcast on British TV in
1959 and 1962 respectively and both
featured kisses between white females
and black males it wasn’t even the first
interracial kiss on American TV Nancy

1967 special move in with Nancy while
the 50s classic I Love Lucy showed

number 8 Johannes Gutenberg inventing
the printing press his breakthrough came
with a brilliant idea he broke up his
text into its constituent parts in 1439
Johannes Gutenberg gave knowledge to the
world by inventing the printing press
which allowed for the mass production
and dissemination of information today
the name Guttenberg is synonymous with
publishing
however while Gutenberg was the first to
introduce the press to Western
civilization the koreans had developed
their own printing press 200 years
before with the chinese inventing
movable type printing during the Song
Dynasty even earlier than that
the Korean kotya dynasty had printing
presses as early as 1234 through its
metal movable type printing technology
and was publishing before europe even
knew it was possible and what’s most
impressive of all is that books made in
the 1300s are still readable today
number 7 Betsy Ross making the first
American flag the American flag much
that was a job that was a money gig
Betsy Ross is often credited with
designing the first American flag in
1776 but this is more fabled in fact
it’s possible that she may have had some
input on the design but her status as
creator comes only from the writings of
her grandson so we must take this with a
grain of salt according to the journals
of the Continental Congress the true
inventor is Francis Hopkinson a judge
and declaration signer who was appointed
to design the first official flag of the
newly founded United States of America
Hopkinson began a flag design in 1776
and the Stars and Stripes were flown in
1777 number six Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin is acknowledged as the
founder of evolution theory upon
completing on the origin of species in
1859 Darwin popularized the concept of
natural selection and became the
architect for the most important
scientific revolution of the last 200
years however it was Darwin’s
grandfather Erasmus who derived
evolutionary theory more than 60 years
before Charles Charles simply built on
his grandfather’s already solid findings
we can seem as a progenitor of the
theory of evolution also at the same
time Darwin was writing on the Origin of
Species fellow naturalist Alfred Russel
Wallace was formulating his own theory
independently of Darwin though Darwin
got the credit Wallace’s findings were
just as important and they were
published alongside some of Charles’s
findings in 1858 astonishing number 5
Disney releasing the first
feature-length animated movie Walt
Disney’s 1937 classic Snow White and the

Meryl estado de gweld enm por supuesto

mas economic Amenti the Apostle released
in 1917 in Argentina and lasting 70
minutes is the first known animated
feature film it was a well received
satire on the state of Argentina at the
time unfortunately the only copy of the

Achmed
east in 1926 and running 65 minutes long
member for Microsoft Apple or IBM
designing the first desktop computer
this is the story of how a handful of
guys launched an industrial revolution
most people think that Microsoft Apple
or IBM created the first desktop or
personal computer but it was actually a
well known albeit less renowned company
named Xerox PARC that started the
revolution the Xerox Alto was released
in 1973 eleven years before the
Macintosh and was the first desktop or
personal computer it operated on a
graphical user interface system or GUI
which is now the industry standard way
to interact with graphical icons rather
than text as was the case with the
pseudo calculators of early computing
history GUI was adopted by succeeding
computers and is used in many other
portable devices so it’s virtually
impossible to think of one without the
other
anything else what flowers number 3

snatched up the patent and may you
cheese ideas some say Bell patented the
telephone in 1876 but not without having
to fight charges that he and lawyers had
defrauded the patent system and left
mayucchi and Elisha gray who invented
the liquid transmitter out of the
history books and Tonio mayucchi
invented a telephone and he got robbed
number two Thomas Edison inventing the
Thomas Edison is credited with many
inventions that he simply improved upon
rather than created that’s the case with
his most famous credited invention the
light bulb in fact several inventors
held light bulb patents before Edison
some of which dated back to 1841 one of
these men was Frederick Desmoulins of
England for his incandescent lamp later
patents were filed by American John W
star in 1845 Russian Alexander Ludwig in
in 1874 and Canadian partners Henry
Woodward and Matthew Evans also in 1874
Edison filed his famous patent in 1879
the same year Britain’s Joseph Swan
filed to patent his own commercially
viable light bulb however all inventors

number one Christopher Columbus
discovering the Americas how do you know
that we’ll find land on the 28th pedal
Oh Christopher Columbus is often
considered the first European to
discover North America but those who
know their history know that this is far
from the truth
it was the Vikings led by Leif Ericson
who landed in Newfoundland about 500
years before Columbus set sail also
Columbus didn’t discover the mainland of
North America as is often supposed he
actually sailed around the Caribbean
islands in 1492 and eventually landed on
the coast of Venezuela in South America
meanwhile though some historians argue
that Spanish slavers reached Florida
before him the European explorer Juan
Ponce a de Leon is often credited with
discovering the continental United
States of America in 1513 do you agree
