Inventions

Whilst many see the internet and the acronym WWW as being one and the same, they are two separate beasts. The internet is the system behind the page you’re now viewing, the World Wide Web is the system of interlinked documents across the internet. This is all down to Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who in 1989 was working as a software engineer for CERN. He realised the potential of linking computers together – and how to achieve it, so it was useful and accessible. The rest, as they say, is history.

A. Who benefitted the most when the new invention became a social necessity?

The inventor as well as most of the students and workers today.

B. Who was at the losing end when it became a social necessity?

Probably the books because the purpose of the world wide web is to search for information online rather than to look for the info by going to the library just to read books. 

C. Which authority, institution, or investment was threatened when the new invention became necessary?

The invention of books.

D. Which authority, institution, or investment was magnified when the new invention became necessary?

Majority, students.

E. Who exercised control over the Invention?

Obviously the inventor, the people still alive today and is using the internet, you who is reading this right now. Basically those who have access to the internet.

F. Who had (no) Access to the new Invention?

Those who cannot afford any type of gadget/ those who are still in the "stone age".

----------

Technology that has not been invented yet, but might benefit people.

Contact lenses that would enable people to take photographs with their eyes and save the pictures in their phones. That would be amazing. Imagine how HD that would be.

A. Who will be the likely champions of this New Invention?

Photographers, wanna-be-photographers, bloggers, instagrammers, stalkers, moms and dads. Basically a lot of people.

B. Who will be the likely enemies of this New Invention?

Cameras.

C. Whose authority, institution, or investment will be enhanced by the new invention?

Technology itself.

D. Whose authority, institution, or investment will be destroyed by the new invention?

Again, cameras.

E. Who will have no control and access over the new invention?

Those who can't afford it/ those who are afraid to put something in their eyes.

----------

Media technology that you feel people can in fact live without, but are considered by many to be necessary? 

DEFINITELY PHONES.

(This kid is me.)

I mean come on. Even people not of our generation need phones. The moment my parents got an iPhone they couldn't even stop using it. Both for business and for using social media.
