What was the revolutionary invention the year you were born?

Me: 1947: Defribrilator

In 1947, Dr. Claude Beck successfully revived a patient with an experimental defibrillator he had been working on. The device included two metal paddles that could shoot 1,500 volts of electricity through the muscle of the heart to get it pumping again. Defibrillators are a mainstay in hospitals and used by paramedics and firefighters. People with severe heart disease can even carry around a portable defibrillator with them in case they go into cardiac arrest.

I didn't know what to expect.

The first working liquid crystal display was invented in 1964. The technology was revealed to the public four years later. LCD screens are now used in electronics like cell phones, digital clocks, and flat-screen TVs.

Anyway, bubble wrap and styrofoam were the ecology wreaking inventions released in 1957.

In 1957, the Frisbee and styrofoam cooler were both invented. Fortran—an early computer language—was created. Burger King introduced the Whopper. Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes accidentally invented bubble wrap while trying to create plastic wallpaper.May 1, 2022
