Through the years, innovation has become the heartbeat of human progress, and day by day we keep waking up to see new inventions and how they evolve constantly. These innovations are, of course, shaped by the ideas of intelligent people who changed the notion about some things that were once deemed impossible. It's quite intriguing seeing how innovation continues to refine how we live, from simple tools to complex ones, and that's not forgetting its connecting ability. We've had tons of transformative inventions that have impacted lives through the years, but there's one I personally hold in high esteem, and I'd love to tell you all about it.
That invention is none other than the mobile phone. I can't forget in a hurry the first time I held a cellphone and the convenience that comes from using it. I mean, when I was much younger, we depended on the postal service to get across information to people in faraway places if we didn't want to visit the place in person, and that often took weeks or even months, depending on how far such a place was from our residence. With the cellphone, such changes have occurred, and you can now interact with friends, family, and acquaintances who are far and near instantly without the usual delays of the post office.
Fast forward to the present day, mobile phones have evolved beyond just being a means of communication to becoming much more, such as our diary, camera, study aids, entertainment hub, health tracker, and much more, to name but a few. Going through the impact of this innovation for me personally has been exceptional, to the point of being a source of livelihood and income other than what I earn from my offline job, and the truth is that I genuinely can't imagine life without it.
The truth is that the impact of phones in the world can't be overemphasized, as it has literally made the world smaller. With just a tap, you can speak with anybody across the world, even see them in real time. You can also do research on topics, write blog posts, take online classes, and even get paid for working virtually, all of these just with a portable device that's operated from the palm of your hand. Cellphones are an innovation that ticks almost every box: communication, creativity, convenience, and much more, and that's exactly why they're special to me.
Talking about another innovation I'm really thrilled about, it'll definitely be solar energy system, as an individual who lives in a part of the world where having power supply seems more like a privilege than our rights, I can't help but admire what this innovation brings to light, because having it installed in your home or office is nothing short of life changing, because you won't have need to worry about generator noise nor about blackout, and that's not even forgetting the fact that's it's quite, dependable and clean, I've got one, so I know how valuable it's, making me stay productive during critical moments when I need to meet up with deadlines of task that deals with electricity.
Lastly, if I had the power to invent something that'll impact lives, what I'll life to make is an affordable mental wellness device, it's basically a device that can be wore by anybody, and it will easily detect when such a person is having any form of emotional distress or anxiety, and it use case won't stop there, it'll have the ability to go on to respond with calming music, or world of edification that'll lighten such persons spirit, why in suggest to make such is because I know a lot of people carries invisible burden and shade it with a smile, because they don't want people to misinterpret them when they speak up, so having such innovation would make heart lighter and life easier for all.
Because at the end of the day, innovation isn't all about technology and devices, but about the impact they've on people, and my determination of a great inventions is by how much values and impact they've on lives.
