Have you ever wondered who invented all the things that make your life easier? As you are going about your day in the kitchen, bath, and living room do you ever think about who invented all these items that we take for granted? Mostly, White men came up with these ideas and followed their inspiration, going through all the steps to create these practical items. We are here today at 1 Shaddock Street, Fairfield Iowa, to talk about all the inventions that make our lives easier.

88% of things | In a study lead by a non-White lady PhD in Economics, Dr. Sara Sarada a professor at the University of Wisconsin, it was found that 88% of US patents have been by men, and 96% of them were white. | |

3 | Atomic Energy | Albert Einstein |
Today we will cover over 300 items, things
that we use on a daily basis. Of course the Wright Brothers invented the
airplane, but we don't fly every day. Albert Einstein invented atomic energy,
but not everyone uses that. Today we will use the home of Rick Shaddock as
an example of a typical family home. He has a Masters in Education from Maharishi International University across the street He is researching for his
online PhD in Men Studies & White Studies.

66 | Ball
point pen BIC
|
A retractable ballpoint pen
assemblage (Schneider K15). Inventor. John Loud ( A ballpoint pen , also known as a biro or ball pen, is a pen that dispenses ink (usually in paste ... The first patent for a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 October 1888 to John J. Loud, who was attempting to make a writing .. https://www.pens.com/blog/the-inventor-behind-the-modern-ballpoint-pen/ In 1930, a Hungarian inventor encouraged children to play with marbles in a puddle, noticing that the balls left a trail of water in their path. So an idea came up: why not use a ball-shaped metal tip to write? Thus the pen was born. László József Biro presented his idea with his brother György, a chemist, and together they sought research and experience to create a new type of pen based on this concept. I finally got the perfect combination: a viscous ink and a tip with a ball that rotated freely, preventing the ink from drying out and controlling its flow. They made their invention at the Budapest International Fair in 1931 and patented it in 1938, although they were unable to commercialize it immediately. With the start of World War II, the brothers emigrated to Argentina, where they founded a company in a garage. Although it was initially unsuccessful due to the high cost of the product, it was awarded a contract with the British Air Force, which increased its popularity. In 1943, his invention was leased to Eversharp Faber, in the United States, for US$2 million. In 1950, Marcel Bich acquired the rights and, on the recommendation of a publicist, removed the "h" from his surname and founded the company BICGroup. That year they launched the first Crystal BIC, one of the most perfect designs ever created, of which more than 20 million units are sold every day around the world. Since 1953, more than 100 billion Crystal BICs have been manufactured, making it the best-selling pen of all time. |

Analytical Engine in 1836, and wrote the first algorithms and programs for
it.
6 years later, in 1842 his friend Augusta "Ada" Byron Lovelace translated his notes, and added some thoughts about his programs. But she was obviously not the first, as some feminists claim. Her Note G is a chart, not a computer program. |
