How Did Nikola Tesla's Impact On Technology

Who had the greatest impact on our technology? It was none other than Nikola Tesla. Tesla invented alternating current, wireless telegraphy, the radio etc. Many of which Tesla invented at the 1893 Chicago World`s Fair. Before Tesla began inventing his parents believed he would do something great. Born July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia, Tesla was said to be “a child of the light.” Early in his life he was exposed to inventing. In school he always had perfect grades and an overachiever. He believed that the development of a man I solely dependent on inventing. In college his college professors doubted he could invent alternating current. In his whole life he never had a large sum of money. This was partly due to the fact that he rushed in his
This was made by none other than Edison and Morgan. Another well visited exhibit was Tesla`s Machinery Hall that stored his “animals.” Other exhibits were small shops or had few things to interact with. In most of the exhibits there were new inventions of food, games, or fun. As one of the first inventions to be showcased, when you walked into the fair you could see a striking display of fireworks being shot off. If you wandered around the fair you could see booths selling the foods we love today like Cracker Jack, Juicy Fruit gum, Quaker Oats, Cream of Wheat, Cotton Candy, and shredded wheat. Hamburgers were also first introduced at the fair along with Hershey`s first chocolate candy bar. Foxtrot games invented the first board games to present to the fair also. Then a bigger invention, the first “moving walkway” invented by Scott Joplin was shown. Six weeks into the fair the Ferris wheel was introduced. At this time it was called the Chicago
Then wireless telegraphy was born! Wireless telegraphy is sometimes called Morse code even though they were invented in different eras they were used together. The telegraph is what people used to communicate; wireless telegraphy is how the messages were able to be sent. They are not the same thing. Tesla did have a patent for wireless telegraphy but many people used to and some still do believe that another man had the credit instead. His name was Guglielmo Marconi and he did not have patent proof for his version. Wireless telegraphy, it does have a purpose. That purpose is how messages are able to be sent. We do not use this today however the idea of communicating via texting, calling, email, or etc. was based on wireless telegraphy. At the fair Tesla created an early version of the telephone line. Then later on it was developed more and patented by a different person. Wireless telegraphy was used in wars to communicate between soldiers, colonels, and etc. In dire situations we still use wireless telegraphy. This does not mean texting, calling, email,
