Technology, Affecting Us Now and Then May 2014 | Page 15

being solved today. Pollution from cars is big in this high tech era, but we are trying to solve the problem with the useful technology electricity, creating the electric car.

Another great invention that helped us to connect with others was the phone. It started with Morse code, and headed into the phone line. It works with an electrical wire-based system and was an improvement of the telegraph. It started with one message at a time but he used his knowledge on music to improve it. It was then able to carry multiple sounds through the electrical wire. This piece of technology improved our lives with easy access to others.

The last thing that I wanted to talk about was the last evolution of the weapons. The most deadly weapon is the gun. The first gun was the Matchlock (1400’s) as I said before. The second was a Wheel Lock (1509). Instead of lighting the fuse every time like the matchlock, this used friction between two gears to light the powder. The third evolution was the Flintlock (1630). This one was a very common rifle and used the trigger to strike some flint igniting the powder.

The weapons shrank to a pistol size again with the Flintlock pistol (1835). This used the same principle as before, but these were the common duel pistol. Another great addition was the bullet wheel, containing more bullets for less reloading. The next was the classic Civil War gun the Musket (1850). It was a long rifle that shot far, but had only one shot and then needed to be reloaded. The next evolution was the Spencer (1860). The Spencer was the first machine gun to be made. It fired seven shots per fifteen seconds.
