Out of complete honesty, if I travelled back in time and I could bring an endless supply of things I use, those would be food and electricity . The reason I would bring electricity is not only to have practically endless entertainment, but also to auto-mate things so they do all that farmer work for me . And food, well that’s self explanatory !!!

Hyewon,
The water purification system is so important. There are not many places in the world anymore where you can turn on a faucet and drink water from it. So many people seem to drink bottled water. I remember drinking water from the middle of a lake on a canoe trip in Canada once. It was so fresh and clean. On other parts of the trip, we had to filter the water with a simple device to make sure it was clean.

Something helpful that I carry around with me everyday is my phone. This new invention is helpful because no matter where I go, if I get lost I can simply call my family and tell them where I am. My phone also tells me what time it is so I don’t run late to class. Because it is a mobile invention, I can literally carry it with me rather than having to go to a wire-connected phone booth to be in touch with people.
Something helpful at home was the dishwasher we had in Switzerland. This was a super helpful time-saving invention as it meant we didn’t spend hours washing up. Instead of washing dishes to get allowance, I just had to load and unload the dishwasher. The dishwasher made everything cleaner than anyone in our family.

A invention that makes life easier is the light bulb. Even though I do not carry this around, I still use it everyday to do my homework, to read and write. The light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison and is the most commonly used source of light in a house. Without the light bulb, we would have to use candles and kerosene lamps.
Another invention is the airplane, invented by the Wright brothers. The airplane is the most commonly used form of transportation to jump continents. The airplane has had a progressive timeline. When it was created, the flying aircraft was made up of wood and was somewhat of a giant kite and became an aluminum alloy body and engines .

Two inventions that help me in my daily life are my computer and the refrigerator. I benefit with my computer because it always has an answer to reasonable questions and some weird and wacky questions that I put in Google search, it also helps me in school with all the websites that our teachers tell us to use in class, for example moodle, the AISC homepage and many other websites that teachers tell us to use in class. I also use it for entertainment such as youtube and Netflix so when i’m at home I can watch shows. The refrigerator is one of the most important things in my house because it gives us food and drinks to help us survive, without it all of the food who have gone bad and we would starve to death.These and the inventions I can not live without.
