Changing The World

Hey guys! This weeks prompt is 'What innovation has most transformed the world? Why?'. 

There are so many inventions that have made out world a better place. Millions of years ago fire was discovered and helped people stay alive. But more recently iPhones and computers have been created. 

People have argued that technology has corrupted out world. I some what agree, but it is also one of the greatest inventions ever. One of the things it has helped is Education. Schooling has improved immensely since technology became a thing. Before technology was created students had to sit in classrooms and have a teacher lecture, which studies have shown isn't the best way to learn. Now we have more interactive class activities using smart boards or iPads.
