Explain how specific inventions and innovations changed daily life and society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. give two examples.

Technological inventions and innovations are the results of a temporary process of accumulation of knowledge that enhances the abilities of society in order to solve social, economic, and daily problems.

At the end of the 19th-century and the beginning of the 20th-century the world economy, especially in industrial countries, was going through the industrial revolution. Many inventions of this era transformed daily life providing new solutions to several activities in different fields, like communications, transport, commerce, among many others. Example of these innovations are:

1) Telephone: it was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. It consisted of a device that transformed sound into electrical signals that were transmitted through a cable and then transformed into sound again. Since it allowed almost immediate communication, this invention revolutionized the world of telecommunications.

2) Car: the first car was developed in 1885 by Karl Benz, it was equipped with a small four-stroke engine. With time, this innovation entered the market and became very popular at the beginning of the 20th-century. It revolutionized the world of transportation.

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
