Over the past 100 years we have seen amazing technological and scientific achievements .These are surley our modern wonders
INTERNET
The early Internet was used by computer experts, engineers, scientists, and librarians. There was nothing friendly about it. There were no home or office personal computers in those days, and anyone who used it, whether a computer professional or an engineer or scientist or librarian, had to learn to use a very complex system.
Nowadays is everywhere .More than half billion people use it,
and number of people who are increases by 100 every year.
In 1994 there were only a few hundred web pages .Today there are a billions.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
We are world on the move.Airlines carry more than 1.5 bilion people to their destlinations every year.It is estimated that, at any one time these days, there are as many people travelling in aeroplanes as the total number of people who travelled abroad in the whole of the nineteenth century. Mass tourism could only have developed with the improvements in technology, allowing the transport of large numbers of people in a short space of time to places of leisure interest, so that greater numbers of people could begin to enjoy the benefits of leisure time.
SPACE TRAVEL
People dreamed of spaceflight for millennia before it became reality. Space travel didn't become possible until the advances of the 20th century provided the actual means of rocket propulsion, guidance, and control for space vehicles.
MEDICINE SCIENCE
Surley nothing has done more for the comfort nad happyiness of human race than the advancs in health care!
How many people millions of people heve benefited from the humble aspirin?How many lives has penicillian saved?Average life expectancy worldwide has risen dramatically over the past 100 years, from about 47 years in 1900 to about 77 years today.
What is the greates wonder of modern world???What do you think?
I think it's really difficult to choose what is the greatest wonder of modern world. I can't believe my life without internet because it's a main source of information and it helps to keep a contact with a lot of my friends. International travels are just wonderful and I think it's the better way for spending money. I can see a future of space travel and I think that we will see more and more etc. All of these discoveries are needed and important for mankind and I believe it in future we will have even more facilities than today.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Awa. For me the Internet is the best invention. I always asking how lived without the Internet. For me it is a mine of knowledge of the limitless possibilities. Of course medical discoveries are all important,thanks to them we live longer,because we are able to overcome disease.But nothing can compare to the Internet.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with Iga at all. For me medical inventions and Internet are the greatest wonders of 20-th century world, too, but in this order. For me, also, it's difficult to imagine my life without Internet and I know, that it's source of knowledge (and rubbish, also ;)), but nowadays many people don't use it. But if I know, that life of average person in Europe became longer of 30 years, makes great impression on me. And medicine is still developing, so more and more diseases could be successfully treated.
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to imagine how the future world will look alike. People from the past surely haven't even dreamt of all the goods that are normal for us, such as the Internet and so on. These inventions often are so standard for us that we don't even think that some time ago people had to live without them. I can't imagine my life without the Internet even though few years ago I had to live without it. These modern wonders are very great but they subordinate people ;)
ReplyDeleteThe greatest wonder of modern world is nuclear weapon called 'little boy', it has power to destroy earth core, and explode entire planet into pieces. This wonder exposes true nature of human. Have a nice day LOL :)
ReplyDeleteOf course the Interent. Now we can share with everyone information, knowledge and stupid movies without leaving our room and it's absolutely fantastic. If you try it once you will not stop. And another achievments? It's hard too say, because i don;t have connection with medicine or space craft in every day so i don't notice all of new invention in those fields.
ReplyDeleteComputers, of course! They're everywhere, whenever we go, they're all around us! We use computers in the office to work, at home to surf the internet or play games! The're useful to checking the informations, writting a letter, watch interesting films or listening the music. We also use it when we pay for shopping, using credit cards, when we buy the ticket in bus or to book the holidays! If I must choose only one invention which is the most important, the most flexible, give me more comfort than another, I choose the laptop!
ReplyDeleteThe internet is an amazing source of current information, entertainment and knowlegde. I can't imagine my present life without the internet, it's so helpful in many situations!. On the other hand I observe people who spend too many time surfing the internet and they become easily addicted to computers.
ReplyDeleteI agree, that computers and Internet are fantastic things and they changed our world. But I can imagine my world without them.
ReplyDeleteTravels are now faster and more comfortable then years ago, but people have travelled always.
Medicine is the most important, I think, but we must do much, much more. Some "old" diseases aren't so dangerous as before, but we have "new". And maybe one way to fight with them is to new something more about our DNA. So for me the wonder of science in XX century is discovery of this code.
I think that it is hard to say which discovery is the most important. It is becouse, all of them are connected with another ones. You said internet. Ok, but first we should have computer. Computer - ok, but first some other electrical devices from middle of XX century etc. So maybe modern medicine. Ok, but we wouldn't have it without computers, modern microscopes and great educational system which gives us great doctors and scientists. The modern world and it's wonders is so complex that I don't determine which discovery is the most important.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Michał. It's not easy to say what is the greatest wonder of modern world, because all of them are associated and altogether build evolving series.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm a fervent follower of the Internet too. This day it's the most perceptible invention.
I wouldn't put all of these inventions in one category - they are impossible to compare. All of them are great human achievements.
ReplyDeleteThe Internet seems to be a winner in this compilation. I think I would choose it too, if I had to select this set. The Internet is nowadays the biggest source of information. I can't imagine modern society living without it.
These days we can not imagine our world without this human achievements. It is hard to say which is the greates wonder of modern world. In my opinion the most needed is medicine science. Without medicine many people couldn't live and amusing to internet or international travel...
ReplyDeletein my opinion the best wonder of modern world is for sure plains and anything what can fly. it is amazing how so big and heavy machines can fly. I will never understand it but is so interesting. This invention changed lifes and means of transport, saves our travel time.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to live if someone told me not to use an internet!! I even can't imagine it. But I think that medical inventions are even more important because it saves people live. I must say that we are lucky, that we live in XXI century:D
ReplyDeleteI think the greatest wonder of modern world is improve the medicine science. Without the Internet or computer we may live, but the medicine is very, very important. We must do the world better, give medicaments and doctors to countries of Third World. Save live!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine my life without internet now. It's source of information which I need in my studies. I think it's the best wonder of modern world. The most important is improve the medicine science too.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to predict what new inventions will come to life in next decade. Space travel looks quite interesting but it is sad that I won't have such money to buy a ticket to the moon.
ReplyDeleteI think that probably computers and the internet have had the biggest impact on most peoples' everyday life. Through computers and the internet we have access to an inexhaustible sorce of information.
ReplyDeleteBut on the other hand it's difficult to underestimate all the medical inventions and discoveries made in the past century.
Thanks to them we live healthier and longer lives. Without them we wouldn't be able to enjoy such things as the internet.
It is really difficult to decide which of this wonders of modern world is the most spectacular. Of course space trawel made a huge impression but it is so distant from normal peoples live...Ours travel possibilities were stil developing but a humen kind has traveled since always. I think that the most important is develop of medicine science which save humen live. But I also can't deny that I can't imagine live without internet...
ReplyDeleteIn my opionion all of those wonders are very important. It doesnt really matter which one is the best or the most important. Just try to imagine how our life would look like if someone took away all of those achievements? And they are not only those stated above, what about mobile phones or research of genetic, cars, solar energy or even in vitro fertilization? All of those are important bcoz they help us every they. Makes our lives easier.. better. And most importantly, the best thing about all of those wonders is that human has created it. So what does that mean to you people?
