Why I have chosen this topic

The English-speaking countries are famous for their famous scientists and inventors. Their names are well- known all over the world, and their inventions are widely used . I would like to tell you about some of them.

Thomas Edison When Edison was

twelve years old, he was infected with scarlet fever. The effects of the fever caused Edison to become completely deaf in his left ear, and 80 percent deaf in the other.

He learned Morse code of the telegraph, and began a job as a "brass pounder" (telegraph operator).

His inventions• Electric meter of the vote

*Ticker machine *Coal membrane telephone *Phonograph *Carbon microphone *Electric light bulb *Magnetic separator iron ore *Peep show *Electric chair *Nickel-iron battery

Quotations “Many of life's

failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.”

“I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.”

Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall was born in London, England in 1934. Goodall went to the Kenya highlands in 1957. In 1977, Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), which supports the Gombe research.

Some words about Goodall`s work

She is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. She began studying the Kasakela chimpanzee community in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania in 1960. She was named a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in a ceremony held in the Buckingham Palace in 2004

John Logie Baird (1888-1946) was a Scottish inventor and engineer who was a pioneer in the development of mechanical television. In 1924, Baird televised objects in outline. In 1925, he televised human faces. In 1926, Baird was the first person to televise pictures of objects in motion. In 1930, Baird made the first public broadcast of a TV show .

Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) invented the telephone (with Thomas Watson) in 1876. Bell also improved Thomas Edison's phonograph. Bell invented the multiple telegraph (1875), the hydroairplane, the photo-sensitive selenium cell (the photophone, a wireless phone, developed with Sumner Tainter.

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

JOHN H. HADLEYJohn Hadley (1682-1744) was an English mathematician and inventor who built the first reflecting telescope and invented an improved quadrant in 1731 (known as Hadley's quadrant). Hadley Rille, a long valley on the surface of the moon, was named for Hadley.

I HOPE MY SHORT REVIEW REMINDS YOU OF THE FAMOUS BRITISH INVENTORS AND THEIR INVENTIONS. WE USE THESE DEVICES EVERY DAY. BUT WE MUST REMEMBER THAT ANY INVENTION MUST BE LOYAL TO THE NATURE. LET US USE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOCIETY AND WITHOUT HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT!
