Each of them is very important and helped making our life better.
Among these, three most important inventions that define our life in the 21 st century are automobile, computer, and music. Dated back even to the ancient time, transportation has always been a very important thing. Back then, ships were the only mean of transportation for human to travel from one place to another. It was a great method of transportation and even used until today. In the 1800 s, human saw the emergence of train as the primary method of transportation on land. But the greatest thing was yet to come.
Automobiles came to life in late 1800 s and begin to shape people’s life so differently that it defined the new era from the past. In the 1900 s, Ford made automobiles a lot cheaper and this mean transportation for everybody to everywhere. No longer human had to be restricted to single route for the masses. Each family can now own an automobile and can go anywhere the roads permit anytime they want.
This is a new sort of freedom for each individual. They don’t have to gather to one place at a specific time, going to the same destination as in the past. This kind of freedom is the stuff that defines the modern world. Take away the automobile and imagine how our life will be.

Automobiles have given people the mean of transportation, but in 1940 s a new inventions was made. Computers came to the world and have completely taken the whole world to a new different level.

Nobody would refuse the fact that computers have blended themselves into our life. Almost every household in the US should have at least one computer by now. The Internet has changed the way we live. Now we can shop online, without leaving the house.
Email changed the way we communicate, and search engines changed the way we find our information. Word processors eliminated the typewriter and the way we compose a document.
