There's lots of inventions happening every day (and then taken up by the Japanese, improved and sold back at half price!).\n Haven't you noticed?

cuz no one came up with that bright idea yet.  Why dont you make one yorself?

Yes, modern day inventions are fascinating. Imagine the stuff that companies have developed but have not shown us. Just the other day, I was reading about quantum teleportation and about creating force fields with plasma. It is amazing how far we have come and where our imagination can take us.

Well,  learning evolved through people asking each other for information and passing knowledge down through the spoken word. Of course this means that a little of it got lost on the way.  But an incredible amount survived.  We amaze ourselves sometimes by discovering something that other people have aalways known and are surprised that we did'nt know.\nSometimes we think that we're smarter than people who lived  long ago, but we just have more technology now.  Imagine how clever, people like Galileo and Copernicus must have been with their  astronomy studies without the  instruments that we now have.

Some inventions happen almost instantly, others require years of research. Believe it or not, the transistor and radar were stumbled upon while investigaing something totally unrelated.

History of Wiring\nFor centuries electricity has been a challenge to scientists. They have long known that it exists, and have discovered how to generate it on a large scale, but find it difficult to explain exactly what electricity is.\n\nWhere did it all begin?\n\nAround 600 BC Greeks found that by rubbing an 'electron' (a hard Fossilised resin that today is known as Amber) against a fur cloth, it would attract particles of straw. This strange effect remained a mystery for over 2000 years, until, around AD 1600, Dr William Gilbert investigated the reactions of amber and magnets and first recorded the word 'Electric' in a report on the theory of magnetism.\n\nGilbert's experiments led to a number of investigations by many pioneers in the development of electricity technology over the next 350 years.\n\n\n\n \n\nBenjamin Franklin(in his own words)\n\n\n Franklin was an American writer, publisher, scientist and diplomat, who helped to draw up the famous Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. In 1752 Franklin proved that lightning and the spark from amber were one and the same thing. The story of this famous milestone is a familiar one, in which Franklin fastened an iron spike to a silken kite, which he flew during a thunderstorm, while holding the end of the kite string by an iron key. When lightening flashed, a tiny spark jumped from the key to his wrist. The experiment proved Franklin's theory, but was extremely dangerous - He could easily have been killed.\n\n\n\n \n\nGalvani and Volta\n\n\n In 1786, Luigi Galvani, an Italian professor of medicine, found that when the leg of a dead frog was touched by a metal knife, the leg twitched violently. Galvani thought that the muscles of the frog must contain electricity. By 1792 another Italian scientist, Alessandro Volta, disagreed: he realised that the main factors in Galvani's discovery were the two different metals - the steel knife and the tin plate - apon which the frog was lying. Volta showed that when moisture comes between two different metals, electricity is created. This led him to invent the first electric battery, the voltaic pile, which he made from thin sheets of copper and zinc separated by moist pasteboard.\n\nIn this way, a new kind of electricity was discovered, electricity that flowed steadily like a current of water instead of discharging itself in a single spark or shock. Volta showed that electricity could be made to travel from one place to another by wire, thereby making an important contribution to the science of electricity. The unit of electrical potential, the Volt, is named after Volta.\n\n\n\n \n\nMichael Faraday\n\n\n The credit for generating electric current on a practical scale goes to the famous English scientist, Michael Faraday. Faraday was greatly interested in the invention of the electromagnet, but his brilliant mind took earlier experiments still further. If electricity could produce magnetism, why couldn't magnetism produce electricity.\n\nIn 1831, Faraday found the solution. Electricity could be produced through magnetism by motion. He discovered that when a magnet was moved inside a coil of copper wire, a tiny electric current flows through the wire. Of course, by today's standards, Faraday's electric dynamo or electric generator was crude, and provided only a small electric current be he discovered the first method of generating electricity by means of motion in a magnetic field.\n\n\n\n \n\nThomas Edison and Joseph Swan\n\n Nearly 40 years went by before a really practical DC (Direct Current) generator was built by Thomas Edison in America. Edison's many inventions included the phonograph and an improved printing telegraph. In 1878 Joseph Swan, a British scientist, invented the incandescent filament lamp and within twelve months Edison made a similar discovery in America.\n\nSwan and Edison later set up a joint company to produce the first practical filament lamp.

nobody invented electrisity, its always been their, the better question may be; Who discovered it?
540917
no, only a few people are smart. Most of us did not discover anything new, though of anything new. We just learn whatever ppl thought up and most of us couldn't even follow the ideas becoz we are not able to think logically.

Yes you are correct about the unknown Indian bit!! I haven't heard about either him or the experiment, and I haven't found any one else that has, but I think my 'teleportation' gear is playing up a bit, I'll get it re-tuned and try again later!! I thought teleportation was a means of transferring physical matter almost instantly? Not brain waves!!\nAre you sure your brain waves haven't been transfered??

i beleve it all has something to do with the flow of electrons. Magnitism can create electricity and electricity can create magnitism.

The ancient Greeks and Parthians knew of static electricity from rubbing objects against fur.\n\nIn modern times  Benjamin Franklin's famous "invention" of electricity by flying a kite in a thunderstorm turned out to be more fiction than fact, his theories on the relationship between lightning and static electricity sparked the interest of later scientists whose work provided the basis for modern electrical technology. Most notably these include Luigi Galvani (1737–1798), Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), Michael Faraday (1791–1867), André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), and Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854). The late 19th and early 20th century produced such giants of electrical engineering as Nikola Tesla, Samuel Morse, Antonio Meucci, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, Werner von Siemens, Charles Steinmetz, and Alexander Graham Bell.\nclick here please:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electricity

If you have ever wondered how you get to see and hear. how stuff like cell phones, microwave and remote-controled toys work, you need to learn Electromagnetic Spectrum, Wavelength And Frequency to understand.\nIf you are not curious, they are not important.

Nanotech is indeed real. Have you never seen surveillance cameras the size of a dime, and what about tracking devices about the size of a cigarette lighter?Do you remember how many different components use to be in a regular am radio & tv set? Tubes, capacitors, resistors, coils, etc. are now on a pc circuit board in the form of an integrated circuit about 1"x1/4". The first computer ever devised needed many rooms to house. The laptop now is less than the sise of some wire bound notebooks high school kids carry.

Our thought are information and dependent on the physical reality of brain. You can not project your thoughts beyond the confines of your brain, unless they are piggy-backed on a transfer wave, such as the intelligence of radio waves is piggy-backed on carrier waves; all physical. You are confused, because instead of getting a proper education in these matters, you wish to believe some form of " alternative " explanation to reality.

The electronica machines grew smaller.\nYou needed much less energy than with the now old fashion triode

Milatary radios were probably first with that. In the year 2006 every cell phone company in the world will have it.

Great question. \n\nYour analogy to man-made devices is somewhat of a backwards take on things, as most machinery is actually made to mimic living things.  Nevertheless, machines or beings, both are designed to take some form of energy from the surrounding environment, and convert it into work.\n\nIn that regard, the brain is very much like a computer that controls the body, but it has one amazing difference that artificial intelligence can't approach (yet.)  The ability to recognize, store and relate patterns to one another.  This is how people are able to do simple things that are beyond the most powerful computers. \n\nWhile our brains do function in a (sort of) binary way, with the firing of neurons occurring or not occurring, they also are able to instantly interconnect experiences (which are just patterns of neurons that fire in a prescribed way based on the chemical triggers) to form new patterns which didn't exist beforehand.  In other words, WE LEARN. What's more amazing is that we can relate things INSTANTLY.  Think about how you can recall a memory from an hour ago, yesterday, or your childhood all in the same span of time.  You can also experience something in the present, instantly connect it to something that happened thirty years ago, and then immediately act on the combination of both the old and new information almost without thinking.  It's miraculous.\n\nThe ability to think like this no doubt stemmed from our animalistic past, and the need to survive previously inexperienced phenomenon, but over time, we've adapted it to be able to create, envision, and imagine things that don't yet exist.  This is something that has plagued computer scientists working on A.I. since the beginning.\n\nGetting back to your original question, I guess we should ask ourselves, does the brain exist to control the body, or does the body exist to transport the brain around it's environment.  Since, over time, intelligence seems to increase in complexity, one would have to say that the body exists to transport the brain around.  This leads us to ask, did intelligence occur spontaneously, or was the body designed to be programmed?  \n\nWith computers, the limitation to the capabilities of the software is ALWAYS the hardware.  Even though programmers always find clever ways of doing things with limited hardware, there is always a limit.  So far, this doesn't seem to be the case with the human brain.  There seems to be no limit to how sophisticated our thought processes can become.  We may only be able to remember and recall a certain amount of information, but being able to INNOVATE, and create previously unimagined connections between things seems to be limitless.  In a sense, we are able to continually "re-write" our own operating systems, based on the new things we learn.  Thank goodness too, because what a drag to think there was a limit on how much we could learn or know.\n\nFor this reason, I'd have to say that if our brains are like computers, they haven't been "programmed" with software in any conventional sense.  They are just too fluid and adaptable to be compared to something as limited as a computer.
