19th Century Advancements

The use of technology has address the way we live. This change became known in the 19th century which was an era of great changes on evolution. Most importantly the 19th century was a time of development in fields on mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology that lay the ground work for the technological advances of the 20th century. The 19th century also brought the era of industrialization. Which started in Great Britain and later distributed around the world. In this essay I will explain the advancement in science, technology and commercial culture that the 19th century have discovered and it have made a difference in our daily life. The discoveries found in the 19th century by Ferninand J. Cohn (1828-1898), Joseph Lister (1827-1912) and Hungarian Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865) were essential to the evolution of science. Cohn a German botanist was able to discover microscopic plant named bacteria who suggested that were the cause of many bacteria in the era. Followed by Chon discovery was Joseph Lister who was a Scottish surgeon that created an antiseptic that help fight bacterial infections. Hungarian Ignaz Semmelweis who died of a wound infection during an operation was able to recognize that childhood fever was cause by germs carried from patient to patient since doctors were not clean enough to wash their hands and instruments. Semmelweis medical profession findings were not accepted long before his dead but are today’s most valuable doctor’s protocol. These medical discoveries began to have an immediate impact on the lives of people when industrialization was a growing business since the government found themselves in a business to keep things clean. To fight this matter Great Britain passed laws in 1875 requiring local authorities to maintain underground conduit for carrying off waste water and refuse, to forbid new building or housing without toilet in them, and outlaw selling food color. Science evolve so rapidly in the 19th century that
