We have come a long way from living in the stone age surviving against humungous creatures such as dinosaurs and any other large carnivores who ruled our world. No wonder when things don’t go right for us humans we tend to go in survival mode, because we have been taught that way through the history of time. We obviously have come a long ways since then and have come up with numerous cool inventions, some good some bad. The world thought man could never fly, then here come the Wright brothers to prove the world wrong. We can go on and on about all the cool invention ideas man has created since the age of time. One thing is for sure, inventions have definitely paved the way to change the world! Take a look at what the japanese accomplished with this cool invention that may save millions of people one day!
