DO YOU HOW “FACEBOOK”, “GOOGLE” AND “TWITTER” USED TO RADICALLY ALTER THE WAY THE WORLD COMMUNICATES TODAY?

After facilitating a Goal Achiever Seminar recently, there was a lively debate on the secrets used by Facebook, Google and Twitter in their amazing rise to conquering the world. At the end of the session, one teenager stood up, and compiled the following list of the 10 GREATEST INVENTIONS which Facebook, Google and Twitter used as Foundation to impact the lives of billions around the world.



1.     Alphabet



An alphabet is a complete standardized set of letters—basic written symbols—each of which roughly represents a phoneme of a spoken language, either as it exists now or as it may have been in the past. There are other systems of writing such as logograms, in which each symbol represents a morpheme, and syllabaries, in which each symbol represents a syllable.



2.     World Wide Web



The World Wide Web ("WWW", "W3", or simply "Web") is an information space in which the items of interest, referred to as resources, are identified by global identifiers called Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet, but the Web is actually a service that operates over the Internet.



3.     Wheel



A wheel is a circular object that together with an axle allows low friction in motion, for example, in transport applications.



4.     Typewriter



A typewriter is a mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic device with a set of "keys" that, when pressed, cause characters to be printed on a document, usually paper.



5.     Watch



A watch is a small portable clock that displays the current time and sometimes the current day, date, month and year. In modern times they are usually worn on the wrist with a watch-strap (made of e.g. leather (often synthetic), metal, or nylon), although before the 20th century most were pocket watches, which had covers and were carried separately, often in a pocket, and hooked to a watch chain.



6.     Communications satellite



A communications satellite (sometimes abbreviated to comsat) is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the purposes of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites use geosynchronous orbits, Molniya orbits or low Earth orbits. For fixed services, communications satellites provide a technology complementary to that of fibre optic submarine communication cables. For mobile applications, such as communications to ships and planes, for which application of other technologies, such as cable, are impractical or impossible.



7.     Computer and video games



Formally, a computer game is a game composed of a computer-controlled virtual universe that players may interact with in order to achieve a goal (or set of goals). A video game is a computer game where a video display is the primary feedback device.



8.     Answering Machine



An answering machine, also known as an answer machine (especially in UK and British Commonwealth countries), answerphone or telephone answering device (TAD), is a device for automatically answering telephone calls and recording messages left by callers. Unlike voicemail, which is a centralised or networked system that performs a similar function, an answering machine is installed in the customer's premises alongside the telephone. While early answering machines used magnetic tape technology, most modern equipment uses solid state memories. Magnetic tape is still used in many low cost devices.



9.     E-mail -- Electronic Mail



Electronic mail, abbreviated e-mail or email, is a method of composing, sending, and receiving messages over electronic communication systems. Most e-mail systems today use the Internet.



10. A mouse



A mouse is a handheld pointing device for computers, involving a small object fitted with one or more buttons and shaped to sit naturally under the hand. The underside of the mouse houses a device that detects the mouse's motion relative to the flat surface on which it sits. The mouse's 2D motion is typically translated into the motion of a cursor on the display.
