    1. When were most of the inventions created? Why do you think it was at this time? Before the 1900's, they were more likely invented then because a lot of things were just invented then giving them more access to things that helped them make their inventions. The reason that a lot weren't made after the 1900s is because most of the things available had already been used to make new things and it limited what people could invent.

    1. What was the average age of the inventor when they created their invention? Why do you think this was the average age?
    The average age was mid-30's. I think that people would've done mos tof their inventions in this time becuase they would've had plenty of education and lots of time to do trial and error before they invented what they did.

    1. What was the average age of death of the inventors? What does that tell us about life expectancy during the Industrial Revolution?
    Most of them died in their late 70's and 80's. This is suprising as disease was common during 1800's and cures weren't all that affective. Most died at the average age of death now.
