Three popular inventions from the 1920s
The 1920s was an exciting time for inventions. Some of the things invented
around that time changed the lives of millions of people, and some of those
inventions are still widely used today. The television The invention with the
biggest impact was probably the television. It was invented by a Scottish man,
John Logie Baird. The first televised pictures were sent over a short distance in
1924, and his invention was formally demonstrated at the Royal Institute two
years later. The pictures on the screen were not clear, but the viewers could see
that they were human faces, and they could see their eyes opening and closing.
In 1928, images were sent fiom Britain to America, and later, to a ship 1,500
miles out to sea. In the same year, the first colour images were sent. The first
seeing-in sets' were sold that same year. For £25 (£1000 in today's money),
people in their homes could watch moving images that were sent from a
broadcasting station.
The fridge
Another invention that became popular in the 1920s was the home refrigerator.
People used different ways to keep food cool and fresh long before the 1900s,
but home fridges weren`t invented until 1913 in the USA Home fridges became
very popular in the USA in the 1920s. Sales of the popular Frigidaire? model
increased from 5,000 in 1921 to 750,000 in 1926. British people were less
interested in fridges than Americans They thought that they were unnecessary
because the weather in Britain was cooler. But fridges were heavily advertised
and their advantages were described in detail. Soon, more fridges were sold, and
the price decreased. The polygraph Another interesting invention of the 1920s
was the polygraph, or lie detector. It was invented in 1921 by a Californian
policeman, John Larson. He used the ideas of other psychologists to make a
machine that measured people` s heart rate, breathing and blood pressure while
they were asked questions. The experts believed that sudden changes in these
measurements showed that someone was lying. Although this invention is well-
known, it can ?t really detect lies. Marston tried to use measurements from his
polygraph in a court case in 1923. but they weren't accepted as evidence and
never have been since then. However, polygraphs are still used by some police
forces and the FBI because many people believe they work, so they tell the truth
to avoid the machine.
