21st Century Inventions

We are now getting close to a decade into the 21st century. The last 100 years or so have really seen the rise of some of the greatest inventions that have ever come our way. There are also some notable 21st Century inventions, although there are not as many as we have seen in previous years. The inventions of the 21st century mainly revolve around things such as the personal computer and the Internet. These things will continue to be developed and improved upon throughout the coming century.

One of the most notable 21st Century inventions, if you would like to call an invention is that of Google. This is probably a company that has had an impact on more people's lives than any other. Yes, Microsoft certainly has their place in history as well as other companies, such as IBM but Google is a thriving company that continues to bring out new products and ideas on a regular basis. For example, page rank is one of the inventions of the 21st century that most of us tend to gloss over. The fact of the matter is, page rank is one of the determining factors that shows how well a website is going to rank in the Google index. Without page rank, the results that you get from the search engine would be far less accurate.

Another one of the 21st Century inventions is a type of artificial heart. Known has the AbioCor heart, it is one of the first fully artificial hearts that is in existence. The first patient that receive one of these hearts lived for 151 days after the transplant. There are still some problems with this particular technology, such as the heart being rather large but as new methods of miniaturization of components take place, the heart may become smaller. It certainly is a large step forward in the replacement of such a vital organ.

The inventions of the twentyfirst century will no doubt continue to give us things that we need in order to thrive. It will be interesting to see where the new agent technology that we are now living in will take us.
