The artifact that we have chosen to present is the zipper. -Trey “A zipper, zip, fly, or zip fastener, formerly known as a clasp locker, is a commonly used device for binding the edges of an opening of fabric or other flexible materials, like on a garment or a bag.” -wikipedia -Caleb T e patent for an “Automatic Continuous Clothing Closure”. But forty-four years later Whitcomb Judson made a “Clasp Locker” in 1851, a device similar to the one made by Elias Howe. -Trey When it was originally invented, the “Clasp Locker”, an early version of the zipper, was used as a complicated hook-and-eye shoe fastener. Today the zipper is used for all sorts of objects like jackets or suitcases and is found everywhere.-Caleb A man named Gideon Sundback who innovated the original zipper in 1913, made it the hit it is today. “Gideon Sundback's new and improved system increased the number of fastening elements from four per inch to ten or eleven, had two facing-rows of teeth that pulled into a single piece by the slider, and increased the opening for the teeth guided by the slider.” (http://inventors.about.com/od/famousinventions/fl/The-History-of-the-Zipper.htmL) -Trey …show more content…
-Caleb The zipper has impacted society positively in the way that clothing, among many other objects that use the zipper, are much easier to seal and keep objects safe. There are not many ways the zipper has impacted society negatively except that it could possible hurt your
One of the most established types of latches for metal still being used today is the bolt. The modest bolt has seen administration through two World wars in the development of pontoons and planes, yet still right up 'til the present time there is no advanced substitution.
What if your locker was as small as a book not really but Bull Run lockers are tiny.
1978, and the patent was issued on October 21, 1980. This innovation was like the method of
First and foremost, it makes sure that there is no firearm in the locker. There have been 142 school shootings. Teachers could help make sure that number does not grow by checking lockers to see if there is anything dangerous like a gun or a knife. Students might get mad at each other and try to harm someone. For instance if a girlfrend is stolen or sport position lost to another kid or if a student is getting bullied and
One invention that would change the textile industry and the history of the US forever was the cotton gin. The cotton gin, short for cotton engine, was invented by Eli Whitney. Whitney went to Yale and thought about becoming a lawyer. After he graduated, he got a job as a tutor on a plantation
(1819-1867) wasn’t the first person to come up with idea of the sewing machine, but was the first person to make it successful. Due to a physical disability, Elias was laid off from his job and his wife supported them by doing odd sewing jobs. Thinking that there should be an easier way to sew, he was inspired to make a sewing machine. With the founding from a friend, it took two years to make the first working machine and get a patent in 1846. It took a while for sewing machines to catch on though, and he didn’t start making any profit until ten years later after his wife
Imagine waking up to your blaring alarm clock and getting up to brush your teeth and eat breakfast. As you get dressed you realize something- it’s Monday morning and you simply cannot go to school because you are too afraid. 120,000 kids across the country feel this way every morning. They are afraid to go to school because they may possibly lose their life to an irresponsible child or teen with a gun. Locker searches can help these thousands of children and teens to feel safe. Clearly, the safety and well being of students in America should be the number one priority when considering policies for locker searches.
In 1830, Barthelemy Thimmonier, a French tailor, patented the first functional sewing machine that used a hooked embroidery-type needle to produce a chain stitch. However, in 1841, after successfully using his machines to mass produce army clothing, his production facility was destroyed and he was almost killed by other tailors in the town who were angry and threatened by the machine’s efficiency and utility. In America during the early 1830’s, a New York inventor, Walter Hunt, produced the first sewing machine that created a lockstitch. As a result, thinking changed and duplication of the human hand stitch was no longer the standard that inventors were measured by. Hunt at that time did not see the promise of his invention and did not file for a patent to protect it. He sold his interest for a small fee. (Museum of American Heritage, 2010).
Safety is, ”the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury” (“Dictionary”, n.d.). That is what locker searches provide for schools. With the early case of New Jersey v. T.L.O, a teacher caught a 14 year old girl smoking a cigarette in the bathroom. This led the teacher to send the girl to the principal in which the assistant principal decided to check her bag and locker for more cigarettes or other contraband. The assistant principal found marijuana and a list of people that owed the girl money. The teen took the school to court for
Hour by hour minute by minute the media blinds us with propaganda and manipulates us into believing a biased opinion. People see this everyday with tabloids and the media. They lie to us with one sided opinions in politics for a quick buck and they lure people away from the truth. America needs to start thinking for themselves and stop letting the media control their lives. The media is creating filters and providing fake news on important situations in the world. And Americans need to wake up and solve this
Where as others may believe that this will make the school system more of a bureaucracy. Further more those would also argue that most of the time lockers are hardly involved in the keeping of contrabands. If students have contraband items they are more likely to keep it on them and therefore randomly searching lockers it not as important. The time and energy which would be spent searching lockers could be used in more efficient way.
Technology has played an integral part in shaping society in many different ways. Throughout history, technological inventions have changed everything from the way humans are clothed and fed to the very ways we communicate and interact as a species. Examining the effects technology has on society illustrate both how technology shapes culture and society and how society can affect future technology. This can be seen by examining a few of the major technological innovations in human history followed by a look at a new technology and how it may shape future society.
The primary advantage of locker searches is their effectiveness. Finding contraband material such as stolen property, drugs or weapons in a student's locker is an easy way to establish guilt and
The evolution of technology has changed society in both positive and negative ways. People all over the world use and benefit from modern technology. Technology has simplified the access to many tools people need in education, medicine, communication, transportation, etc. However, using it too often has its drawbacks as well. In most cases, the time of finishing projects is cut by more than half with the help of technology. Many people do not realize that technology has its negative affects society as well, and its rapid advances has changed life for worse in a number of different ways.
Though, it can be an advantage for the society, but it is demolishing traditions in the long run. This is evident that technology id suppressing a negative impact to the society.
