WHAT INVENTIONS DO WE USE IN OUR DAILY LIVES?

Inventors design machines to solve problems or to make something easier to do.
Modern machines have changed the way we live in many ways:
  • Food production: machines have changed the way the food is prepared in large factories, sometimes it has been frozen or packaged in a tin, so it stays fresh for longer periods of time.

  • Clothing: most of our clothes contain synthetic fabrics (nylon, viscose). So they're cheaper, more resistant to temperature than natural fabrics and they do not wear out so quickly. 
  • Healthcare: Doctors use microscopes, computers, X-ray machines and scanners...

Many inventions have changed the way we travel:
The bicycle, cars (before the invention of cars we travelled by horse and carriage), steam engine, the hovercraft, aeroplanes...
