Innovations Originally, the elevator was invented by Archimedes in 236

Bc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator

Then in 1405, a German engineer by the name of Konard Kyeser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator

Now lets speed up time, in 1853 Elisha Otis presented his first functional elevator, with its own safety system so

nobody can die. http://www.columbiaelevator.com/main/elevator-history/

The first type of elevator was originally powered by steam to

turn the cables. htttp://www.madehow.com/volume-2/elevator

But the elevator evolved, the year of 1871, the first hydraulic water powered elevator.

The elevator became better over the years.

Impact on society positive side

It helped a lot of people get to work on time

It saved them from walking stairs so instead it'll just take you 2 minutes on the highest part of the building.

The elevator can lift heavy objects to the next floor instead of lifting something heavy

Added safety brakes on the elevator http://www.columbiaelevator.com/main/elevator-history/

Impacts on society negative side Killed a lot of people

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevators#Design

People who all are going up, all have different floors so it takes up time.

People would get stuck on the elevator. http://www.columbiaelevator.com/main/elevator-history/

Future

What I would like to see in the future with this invention is, making it more safe

Maybe making the invention fly in the air without, the wires holding it

Adding a anti-fart gases, so when someone farts it can alert that someone did it and suck out all the bad air
