The importance of inventions
They say necessity is the mother of invention, but invention drives the economy. The great importance of invention is that it solves problems and changes the world. 1. And it goes beyond culture. The modern era is arguably the greatest time in the history of the world for innovation, but none of it would have happened without the invention of electricity supplied on demand. With that one advancement, in came the fastest-changing period in human history—and the greatest population growth, too.
2. Even things like the toilet and modern plumbing made it possible to improve hygiene and reduce exposure to human waste, which in turn made cities cleaner and more desirable to live in. The modern bathroom also helped reduce the spread of disease, which in turn helped extend the average life expectancy. 3.
People eat better, and more safely, because of innovations we now take for granted like the refrigerator, the oven and running tap water. Daily life at work has been transformed because heavy-lifting jobs can be done by forklifts. In fact, technology is reaching a new height. 4. More people than ever before need to sit for work, with office jobs and the like changing our fitness level and lowering the risk of injury during a workday.
Even entertainment has changed because no longer do people have to make their own fun by playing games. 5. How people communicate, work, eat, travel, shop—it’s all subject to innovation and invention. Advances don’t always improve life, though, as many people are learning through the constant-access struggles of smartphones and ever-present noise pollution in cities.
A.Innovation shapes the way life is lived.
B.They can turn to their phone, TV or radio.
C.Factories are using robots for many tasks now.
D.They have affected the way we consume media.
E.Inventions influence all aspects of the modern existence.
F.New technologies often simplify the average person’s life.
G.And that has led to the Earth’s population rising sharply in the last 150 years.

The importance of inventions
They say necessity is the mother of invention, but invention
drives the economy. The great importance of invention is that it
solves problems and changes the world. 1.___And it goes beyond
culture. The modern era is arguably the greatest time in the

human history—and the greatest population growth, too.

People eat better, and more safely, because of innovations we
now take for granted like the refrigerator, the oven and running
tap water. Daily life at work has been transformed because heavy-

smartphones and ever-present noise pollution in cities.
