Early Innovations and Their Impact Today
Wilbur and Orville Wright’s innovative spirit allowed them to take their place in history. Their inventions have changed the way people live around the world. At the turn of the century, an explosion in technological achievements occurred. The same kind of energy that went into advances in aviation went into the development of automobiles, telephones, televisions, and immunizations to prevent diseases. These and other innovations and achievements continue to have an enormous impact on human life.

In this week’s Discussion, you will analyze two technological innovations/achievements of the late 19th/early 20th century and describe the impact they have on life today.
