-> Microchip: The inventors of the microchip would be Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. Without the development of the microchip the computers would come far late into another decade.

 

->Hydrogen Bomb: the hydrogen bomb was created dutring the cold war. Many scientists opposed on the working and development of this bomb, for example Robert Oppenhimer, one of the contributors of the Manhattan project, during WWII.

-> solar cell: This solar cell or also known as photovoltaic cell converts light that hits the panel into energy. the inventors: Calvin Souther fuller, Gerald pearson, Daryl Chaplin.

 

->Computer modem: Without the computer modem we would still be in progress and we would have not been able to advance so much in technology. A fun fact about the computer modems, after some time of development, the computer system which came long after was said to have problems refair to as bugs. Now a days we say "oh no my computer has a bug" We say this not meaning it in a literal way, but back then they had large modems in which would power only one opperating system and there were actual bugs in them, that made the cables and microchips not work properly and mess up everything. That is why now a  days we say that there is a buf in our technological divice.(Pop History - Inventions of the Fifties.)

-> THE PILL

• "1951 Sanger and Pincus meet at a dinner party in New York; she persuades him to work on a birth control pill.

• 1951 Meanwhile, Carl Djerassi, a chemist in Mexico City, creates a pill by synthesizing hormones from Mexican yams. On a chemical level, the pill has been invented, but Djerassi isn’t equipped to test, produce or distribute it.

• 1952 The race is on. Pincus tests progesterone in rats and finds it works. He meets gynecologist John Rock, who has already begun testing chemical contraception in women. Frank Colton, chief chemist at the pharmaceutical company Searle, also independently develops synthetic progesterone.

• 1953 If Sanger is the activist behind the pill and Pincus the scientist, Katherine McCormick — biologist, women’s rights activist and heiress to a great fortune — is the money. She writes Pincus a check for $40,000 to conduct research.

• 1954 Rock and Pincus conduct the first human trials on 50 women in Massachusetts. It works.

• 1956 Large scale clinical trials are conducted in Puerto Rico, where there were no anti-birth control laws on the books. The pill is deemed 100 percent effective, but some serious side effects are ignored.

• 1957 The FDA approves the pill, but only for severe menstrual disorders, not as a contraceptive. An unusually large number of women report severe menstrual disorders.

• 1960 The pill is approved for contraceptive use."  (A brief history of the birth control pill, Alexandra Nikolchev) (Pop History - Inventions of the Fifties.)
