One long page, more impressive
Just thought seeing one long page was a lot more impressive than breaking it up into 3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.31.149 (talk) 23:30, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Operating system
Operating systems existed long before the "first operating system for personal computing" This entry does not make that clear. Secondly reading Operating system makes it clear that as with so many concepts around the evolution of computers defining exactly which was the first microcomputer OS is not that simple. -- PBS (talk) 11:47, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

A teddy bear is a stuffed toy bear. They are usually stuffed with soft cotton and have smooth and soft fur. It is an enduring form of a stuffed animal that has become a collector's item. The first teddy bear was invented in 1902 by Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, who was inspired by Clifford Berryman's political cartoon Drawing the Line in Mississippi that depicted President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt on a hunting trip in Mississippi who spared the life of a Louisiana black bear cub. Michtom asked for and received President Roosevelt’s permission to use his name for the hand-sewn bears called "Teddy bears" that he invented and his wife helped construct.[67 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.5.151 (talk) 20:11, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Tesla didn't invent radio
Marconi was the first one to transmit long distance radio transmision. Tesla didn't do anything news. Only Marconi should be credited with the radio invention.


 * And neither did Marconi invent radio. He merely copied the work of others such as Hertz, Lodge, Fessenden, Bose, Popov, and Tesla and took credit for it. Long distance radio transmissions Marconi made, but certainly not the first. 65.35.146.193 (talk) 21:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Who made long distance radio transmission before Marconi, please? Marconi radio system was original and different from any other existing before. Unfortunately the description I put in the "Radio" article of Marconi's apparatus has been censored by the "Tesla club" authors infesting wikipedia. The supposed "copied" one were not able to repeat the results obtained by Marconi for several years. Magnagr (talk) 20:55, 10 October 2011 (UTC)


 * The supreme court was not called upon to give a decision regarding the paternity of the radio invention and the judges never put﻿ in doubt the primacy and the originality of the first complete radio system built by Marconi, and they never stated that Tesla or others invented the radio and not Marconi. This what the judges said: “[…]Marconi's reputation as the man who first achieved successful radio transmission rests on his original patent” and “[..] To find in 1943 that what Marconi did really did not promote the progress of science because it had been anticipated is more﻿ than a mirage of hindsightMagnagr (talk) 09:04, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Carbide lamp
The article on carbide lamp implies bicycle carbide lamps predate 1900 and the 1900 patent is for a mining lamp. GraemeLeggett (talk) 20:10, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Adhesive bandage: not an american invention
Already in 1882, German inventor Paul Carl Beiersdorf invented adhesive bandage. 188.96.230.245 (talk) 17:50, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Airoplane: not an american invention
German inventor Otto Lilienthal was many years befor Wright Brothers in the air. He was a German pioneer of aviation who became known as the Glider King. He was the first person to make well-documented, repeated, successful gliding flights 188.96.230.245 (talk) 17:50, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Tractor: not an american invention
Russian inventor Fjodor Abramowitsch Blinow: Blinow invented some years before american inventor Froehlich a tractor in Russia. 188.96.230.245 (talk) 22:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC) As a German writer from Germany i have to say, that in english wikipedia are too many writers from US and Britain with too much nationalism feelings. I found only in this list soo many mistakes. 188.96.230.245 (talk) 22:30, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Traktor(de)

Fjodor Abramowitsch Blinow got a patent for "einen Wagen besonderer Konstruktion mit endlosen Schienen für den Frachttransport auf Straßen und Feldwegen" 188.96.230.245 (talk) 22:50, 12 April 2013 (UTC) The restoring information that is sourced and referenced per other articles are not correct and english wikipedia shows here wrong informations. 188.96.230.245 (talk) 22:55, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

I hardly think that putting something in food - which was often being done by other people can be classed as an invention. Until recently writers from the US would advise the world that they developed the worlds first computer - called EINIAC, but it wasn't it was actually Colossus at Bletchley Park near London which was used to read the LORENZ encoded messages used by the NAZI high command and did so almost in real time. The worlds first programmable computer was built at the Manchester College of Technology now University of Manchester Institute of Technology or UMIST and was called Babe. Without German engineering and technology and British calculations they would never have reached the Moon. Many of what the US calls "inventions" are actually adaptations of others work - much of which originated in Europe mostly Britain, France and Germany. Babbage designed the worlds first modern computing machine which would have worked, Alan Turing is considered to be the father of the modern computer. The US never captured an Enigma machine - Britain gave it to them after Britain had advised them how they were reading the Enigma Codes using Polish designed methods and improved by Turing who helped develop the Bombes to read the code. Television was developed by a Scotsman - Baird and a list of British, French and German inventions that were never patented but the US acquired and then claimed would fill a book, likewise the inventions from Britain, France and Germany that were patented would need a library that would fill Times Square several times. Marconi brought together the various discoveries and experimented with wireless transmissions pushing the distance until long range wireless communication was proved to be feasible. The US has a history of walking where others went first and then they try to claim the credit. ce la vie! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.244.55.57 (talk) 13:57, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Baird invented the first television, but his design was entirely mechanical. American engineer Philo Farnsworth invented the first all electronic television, which became the basis for television technology around the world. All technological inventions are building off of something that came before. Even the Colossus was not the worlds first electronic computer, that was the Atanasoff-Berry computer built by two Americans in Iowa. The Collossus was electronic like the ABC computer, but was also programmable which is why it is noteworthy as an innovation. But even it was not a fully general use computer because it was really only configurable within certain parameters. The ENIAC was the worlds first 'fully' programmable and general purpose electronic computer. Then you have the mobile cellular phone, a completely American invention which of course probably would not have happened if Bell had not invented the tethered phones bore that. Then there is the transistor, an American invention without which modern computing would not even be possible. Just because a technology builds off of foundations that were laid before it does not mean it isn't important in itself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono85 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Please make editing sections, perhaps by decades
Scrolling down thru the whole page is tedious & difficult, especially for an error more than halfway thru. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.203.111 (talk) 08:18, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

First Electronic Computer
The Atanasoff-Berry computer is generally acknowledged as the first ever electronic computer. This means that the electronic computer is an American invention and should probably be reflected in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono85 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Nuclear Bomb
Should the atomic bomb be added to 1945? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:1889:F600:59F8:2705:6F06:5944 (talk) 12:09, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Electric Television
Kenjiro Takayanagi’s invention is contradictory because it involves the Nipkow disc, which is a mechanical part. Boris Rosing, and quite possibly Boris Grabovsky, used mechanical cameras. I believe Philo Farnsworth’s electric television should be added here. 73.109.210.182 (talk) 07:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
