    Karl Benz the inventor First Automobile

    According to www.autodesk.com, Karl was born into a poor and


    mis-fortuned family. His father died when Benz was two years
    old and he spent the rest of his years raised by his mother.
    Thankfully she prioritized education and saw Benz through
    university at the age of 15. He later went on to graduate with a
    degree in mechanical engineering.

    Following his graduation from university, Karl rolled through a series of engineering and
    construction jobs searching for his calling. He ended up settling in Mannheim, Germany, where
    he partnered with August Ritter to open an iron foundry and sheet-metal workshop.

    The First Automobile

    On January 29, 1886, Carl Benz applied for a patent for his “vehicle powered by a gas engine.” The
    patent – number 37435 – may be regarded as the birth certificate of the automobile. In July 1886 the
    newspapers reported on the first public outing of the three-wheeled Benz Patent Motor Car, model no. 1.

    The first stationary gasoline engine developed by Carl Benz was a one-cylinder two-stroke unit which ran
    for the first time on New Year’s Eve 1879. Benz had so
    much commercial success with this engine that he was
    able to devote more time to his dream of creating a
    lightweight car powered by a gasoline engine, in which
    the chassis and engine formed a single unit.The major
    features of the two-seater vehicle, which was completed
    in 1885, were the compact high-speed single-cylinder
    four-stroke engine installed horizontally at the rear, the
    tubular steel frame, the differential and three wire-spoked wheels. The engine output was 0.75 hp (0.55
    kW). Details included an automatic intake slide, a controlled exhaust valve, high-voltage electrical
    vibrator ignition with spark plug, and water/thermo siphon evaporation cooling.

    Christopher Sholes inventor of Typewritter


    Christopher Latham Sholes(1819-1890) has been called the "Father of the Typewriter."
    Although he did not invent it, he did develop the first practical commercial machine. Sholes
    also developed the Qwerty keyboard that is still in use today.

    Sholes was born on February 14, 1819, near Mooresburg Pennsylvania.


    On his mother's side, his ancestry could be traced back to John and
    Priscilla Alden, the famous Pilgrims. His paternal grandfather had
    commanded a gunboat during the Revolutionary War. Sholes' father,
    Orrin, served in the War of 1812 and was rewarded for his service with
    a gift of land in Pennsylvania. In 1823, when Sholes was four, Orrin
    moved his family to Danville, Pennsylvania, were he ultimately
    apprenticed all four of his sons to become printers.

    Typewriter by Christopher Sholes

    A typewriter is a hand-operated mechanical device with which on typing keys can produce
    printed characters on paper. There are different types of typewriters, including mechanical
    typewriters, electric typewriters and electronic typewriters. With the advent of personal
    computers and laptops, typewriters are rarely used anymore, although the QWERTY keyboard
    layout, which was designed for typewriters, is still used in most devices.

    Why it is one of the greatest invention

    it gave people new opportunities to communicate with each


    other more effectively than what was previously possible with
    traditional pen and ink handwriting. Writers with stigmatized identities such as blindness,
    gender, or mental disabilities were masked and neutralized through the typewriter’s universal
    interface, making opportunities for jobs, school, and other occupations more obtainable for
    more people. The invention of the typewriter had a profound impact on expanding the
    opportunities of communication for those whose voice and social network were previously
    constrained. These new opportunities helped these populations in mobilizing upward in
    society in ways that weren’t possible before.Typewriters also provided better opportunities to
    communicate more effectively for the blind population outside of obtaining better jobs.
