From dolls with eyes that open and close to teddy bears, from ice skating to roller blading, from card games to crayons and colouring, from the ferris wheel and carousel to cracker jacks, from the sewing machine to the zipper, from candy and ice cream to candy floss, from refrigeration to air conditioning, from early cameras to digital cameras, from washing machines to dishwashers, from a sweeping machine to a bagless vacuum cleaner, from typewriters to computers, from quill pens to gel pens, from cloth diapers to disposable diapers, from paper drinking straws to plastic straws, from horse-drawn vehicles to gasoline-driven cars, from chocolates to life savers, there are so many things that have changed our lives. Each invention begins with an idea, often based on a desire for something better. Even a simple band-aid has an interesting history.
