nnovations have taken the world by storm in recent decades and transformed it in ways only imagined in science fiction the firm. We present what are the most influential innovations in the last 50 years that have improved quality of life, have changed the way they conduct business or have led to the development of a large new industries.
On top is the last place of photovoltaic solar energy. Although modern solar movement began as a response to the embargo placed on oil and energy crisis of the 70s, today there are many factories producing solar panels to heat their homes or commercial buildings. In ninth place is the bar code scanners. The first bar code was invented in the '50s, and today are a standard in the retail industry and in manufacturing and military application.



They are lagging behind pill that mimics estrogen and progesterone how the female body works. Inventions in medical field deals with seventh place, where they found CABG. Inspiration for the invention of this new method of heart surgery came from angioplasty failure. An antenna that sends internet access within a radius of 48 kilometers, occupies sixth place called IEEE 802.16. Some researchers say it could end up launching developing countries in the digital age by eliminating infrastructure-based telecommunications cables.



An innovation is more influential commercial production biofuels: ethanol and biodiesel, and the fourth is much appreciated cell phones. The third place ranking is occupied by GPS. The first modern satellite NAVSTAR Global Positioning System was launched in 1978, but only in 2000 President Clinton allowed users to non-military GPS signal.



In second place is online trading. With the advent of search engines in the 1990s, ecommerce site exploded as part of the dotcom boom. The top ranking is magnetic resonance imaging. This technique became routine primary diagnosis of many diseases and sometimes replaced or surpassed CT.
