Join MemoriesEmerson Lamansky Thomas Edison is created with the science behind the first incandescent light bulb. Everything we have today would not be possible with out this basic knowledge of light. This is #1 importance.
Emerson Lamansky The Wright Brothers made serious headway in the transportation part of the 20th century. They made the invention of the first manned airplane. This is #2 importance.
Emerson Lamansky Henry Ford played a huge role in developing cars and is one of the most successful car brands, today. He is credited with much of the turn of the century in transportation. This is #4 importance.
Emerson Lamansky Watson and Crick are credited with discovering DNA and started to envision the ways it impacted basic genetics. DNA is the genetic make up of any living being and therefore I find this very important. This is #3 importance.
Emerson Lamansky Jonas Salk is credited with developing the first polio vaccine. He originally did not patent the vaccine because he wanted every child to have the ability to get this vaccine. This is #5 importance.
Emerson Lamansky There are a number of different reasons why I ordered these the way I did. I started with light as number one because before the spread of the lightbulb, much of the work was done by flame and I think the other inventions would've taken longer if it wasn't for the light bulb. Then i put the airplane because it started kicking off transportation in the United States. Overall the next three, were of equal importance to me but for the sake of the assignment I organized them.
