| Your Turn |
Have you wondered what the world would be, had everyone been like you? Not in only in your appearance, but in your idiosyncrasies, ideas and so on - the world would have been a recipe for disaster. We wouldn't have many of the things we enjoy today - cars, air conditioners, electricity, mobile phones etc. For me, all I want to do is enjoy them not create them. You would have noticed, that it isn't the same person who invented the air conditioner that invented electricity. Matter of fact, the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented by Willis Carrier, in 1902. The first steam powered auto-mobile capable of human transportation was built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in 1768. François Isaac de Rivaz designed the first car powered by an internal combustion engine fueled by hydrogen in 1807. In 1886 the first petrol or gasoline powered car, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen was invented by Karl Benz.
