5 Impactful Tech Inventions From My Lifetime

  • TCP/IP Congestion Control Algorithm and TCP/IP Header Compression protocol(RFC1144)

    TCP/IP Congestion Control Algorithm and TCP/IP Header Compression protocol(RFC1144)
    Van Jacobson, one of the main contributors to TCP/IP congestion control technology, saved the internet from collapse in the late 1980s/early 1990s. He is known for "Jacobson's algorithm", which is an essential basis for all further "net" compression technologies are based on. TCP/IP is an essential protocol for the internet to work.
  • The USB Flash Drive

    The USB Flash Drive
    The USB flash drive is a data storage device that uses flash memory technology and USB interfacing to store computer data. It rapidly replaced floppy drives in the early 2000s as a popular way to store portable data.
  • Facebook

    Facebook
    Originally, a social media website meant to connect college students, it blew up in 2006 as a publicly accessible social network with undeniable worldwide sociopolitical and cultural influence, even to this day.

    The UAV Drone

    Modern warfare will never be the same with UAV drone technology. UAV drones are especially useful in the US war against terror. Abraham Karem is considered to be the "father of UAV drone technology", and started building his first drone for the Israeli Air Force as far back as the 1970s.
  • Perseverance Rover

    Perseverance Rover
    Invented, designed, and built by NASA, the Perseverance Rover was successfully completed and launched on July 30, 2020. It is a robotic "roving" vehicle that is designed to travel the planet of Mars. It's purpose is to discover and identify evidence for hypothetical alien life on the planet Mars.
