300 House Inventions Video

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.

# Invention By who Photo

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.

Who Invents?

2 Airplane Orville and Wilbur Wright
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.

Concrete steps

Roman concrete or opus caementicium was invented around the 300 BC when builders added a volcanic dust called pozzolana to mortar made of a mixture of lime or gypsum, brick or rock pieces and water. Some still last after 2000 years
in the absence of volcanic ash...

In 1824 Joseph Aspdin invented cement by burning finely ground chalk and clay until the carbon dioxide was removed. Aspdin named the cement after the high-quality building stones quarried in Portland, England. In the 19th Century concrete was used mainly for industrial buildings

68 Program Charles Babbage, English mathematician is "the father of computers" and designed the 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. 

  BASIC Professors John G. Kemeny and Tom Kurtz with Dartmouth University students invented Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code and Time Sharing of the campus computer in 1963.

76.5 database Originally named Vulcan, dBASE was created by Wayne Ratliff to manage a company football pool. It was modeled after JPLDIS, the DBMS at Jet Propulsion Labs in Los Angeles. Renamed dBASE II when Hal Lashlee and George Tate formed Ashton-Tate to market it in 1981, dBASE became a huge success within a couple of years. In 1991, Borland acquired the company, and in 1999, dBASE, Inc. acquired dBASE from Borland. The company's name was later changed to dataBased Intelligence, Inc., and dBase LLC took over the product in 2012.
dBASE spawned the "Xbase" industry, which included Clipper, FoxBase, FoxPro and other products that provided a dBASE-like programming language and support for dBASE file formats.
