Celluloid was invented in 1870 by John Wesley Hyatt and Isaiah Hyatt because of a shortage of ivory....?

According to Wikipedia, celluloid was invented by an Englishman Alexander Parkes in 1856 who thought of it as a waterproofing material. Another Englishman Daniel Spill developed a similar product soon after. The Hyatts later developed it as a replacement for ivory in making billiard balls. \n\nBritannica on the other hand gives the credit to Hyatt. Encarta gives Hyatt the credit for refining into the "first practical synthetic plastic".  The short answer to your question is billiard balls.

That is so weird... only yesterday some friends and I were talking about an issue related to this! We were talking about how we had all heard things about inventions of efficient cars being scrapped as early as during WWII.\n\nWe hadn't heard of this movie but we will definitely see it now we know about it!

It was definitely John Dilinger. I did a presentation on it for Biology!

I don't think this movie will have the answer you are looking for, but if you are interested in the history of home computer software, Specifically the history of Microsoft and Apple "The Pirates of Silicon Valley" was pretty interesting :)

1839: Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden elucidate the principle that plants and animals are made of cells, concluding that cells are a common unit of structure and development, and thus founding the cell theory.

No. The movie you mention while having spectacular CGI was fiction. Hollywood is in the business of selling tickets, as a result, they stretch the facts about as much as a politician does.

I do not think the picture exists.  Salvino D'Armate lived in 13 century and is credited with the invention of eye glasses in yr about 1284. Photography was invented in 19 century.

it used to be made by ivory but obviously this is no longer the case

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices which greatly influenced life in the 20th century. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention, and can therefore be credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. Some of the inventions credited to him were not completely original, but alterations of earlier patents (most famously the light bulb), or were actually the work of his numerous employees. Nevertheless, Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,097 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

The ancient Egyptians are reported to have fashioned catheters from papyrus, and the ancient Greeks from reeds. A flexible urinary catheter was invented by Benjamin Franklin for the use of his brother.

Maybe Stickley furniture?  It was made by Gustav Stickley- check the link.

Alexander Fleming in 1928 invented Pencillin.  It was a chance discovery.  He was doing some experimenting with Staphylococcus bacteria. He accidently left his culture plate smeared with the bacteria over the weekend. when he came back he found the plate contaminated.  When he looked closely he noticed that the bacteria was destroyed where the plate was infected.  Later he found out the mold(which infected the plate) to be Pencillium Notatum.

I could be wrong (it wouldn't be the first time), but the reason you can't find a date might be because Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould came up with the idea of punctuated equilibrium.  In 1972...\n\nWho the heck is Robert Goldschmidt?

Cell theory history\nIn 1838, the botanist Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, a physiologist discovered that both plant and animal cells had nuclei. From this realization, they surmised that all living things were composed of cells. In 1839, Schwann published 'Microscopic Investigations on the Accordance in the Structure and Growth of Plants and Animals', which contained the first statement of the cell theory.\n\nSchwann and Schleiden's statement of the cell theory was:\n\nCells are the unit of structure, physiology, and organization in living things. \nCells are both a distinct entity and a building block in the construction of organisms. \nCells form by spontaneous generation.

You wrote:\n"Someone told me that there grandfather invented it and sold the paton and I was trying to see if it was true. The last name shouhld be Berup"\n\nCorrection:\n"Someone told me that their grandfather invented it and sold the Patent and I was trying to see if it was true. The last name should be Berup"\n\nNow the Answer from:\nWikipedia, the free online encyclopedia\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbed#History\n\nIn 1871 a waterbed was in use in Elmira, NY for "invalids". It was briefly mentioned by Mark Twain in his article "A New Beecher Church" which was published in The New York Times on 1871-07-23. There Twain said that: "In the infirmary will be kept one or two water-beds (for invalids whose pains will not allow them to be on a less yielding substance) and half a dozen reclining invalid-chairs on wheels. The water-beds and invalid-chairs at present belonging to the church are always in demand, and never out of service." This article does not contain enough information to determine the form of the beds involved.\n\nDr. William Hooper of Portsmouth, England, patented a waterbed in 1883. He devised it to relieve bed sore pains in his patients. Unable to contain the water and control its temperature, his invention was a market failure.\n\nThe modern waterbed was created by Charles Hall in 1968, while he was a design student at San Francisco State University in California. Fellow SFSU students Paul Heckel and Evan Fawkes also contributed to the concept. Hall originally wanted to make an innovative chair. His first prototype was a vinyl bag with 300 pounds (136 kg) of cornstarch, but the result was uncomfortable. He next attempted to fill it with Jell-O, but this too was a failure. Ultimately, he abandoned working on a chair, and settled on perfecting a bed. He succeeded. His timing could not have been more perfect: the Sexual Revolution was under way, and Hall's waterbed became enormously popular, making it one of the most notable icons of the 1970s. However, because a waterbed is described in the novels Beyond This Horizon (1942), Double Star (1956), and Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) by Robert A. Heinlein, Hall was unable to obtain a patent on his creation. In 1980 Heinlein recalled in Expanded Universe that:\n\n"I designed the waterbed during years as a bed patient in the middle thirties; a pump to control water level, side supports to permit one to float rather than simply lying on a not very soft water filled mattress. Thermostatic control of temperature, safety interfaces to avoid all possibility of electric shock, waterproof box to make a leak no more important than a leaky hot water bottle rather than a domestic disaster, calculation of floor loads (important!), internal rubber mattress and lighting, reading, and eating arrangements - an attempt to design the perfect hospital bed by one who had spent too damn much time in hospital beds." \nHowever, Heinlein made no attempt to build his invention. Hall, like Edison and Bell, gets full credit for creating an industry.

Take the experience of a well-known cell phone manufacturer we’ll call CellTech. In the mid-1990s, CellTech was at the top of its game. But later in the decade, new players flooded the market, and analog cell phones slipped along the product lifecycle curve toward commoditization. CellTech sought to stem its shrinking margins by developing the next wave of industry innovation: digital cell phones. \n\nAlthough CellTech had a new business strategy, it lagged in devising a new people strategy to support it. The company neither acquired nor developed the skills in its workforce that would enable it to create and produce the new technology in time. Because CellTech had never developed the human capital strategy process that would have enabled it to anticipate a new workforce need based on a changing business strategy, it was unable to execute its plan in a timely way. It lost significant market share and millions in potential revenues.
