One of the most dramatic inventions of the second half of the 20th century would have to be the microchip. It was during this period of time that computers shifted from being huge machines that filled large rooms to desktop, and then laptop, computers, and then even small computers that could fit in your hand -- PDA's and cell phones. If we watch episodes from the original Star Trek television series, things that look like PDA's and cell phones are presented as something we may see 300 years from now. They are used in many places in addition to computerized gadgets, including automobiles, televisions, and computerized portable game players such as "Game Boy." They even appear in animals. Adopt a pet from the Humane Society and they will insert an identifying microchip under the animal's skin.

The World Wide Web has wreaked its own cataclysmic changes. For $500, an aspiring musician can turn his laptop into a studio, whilst music -- tons of it -- can be garnered for free from over the web, and musicians can disseminate tunes without interference from record companies through e-mails and file-sharing programs. All of this originated just from Edison's phonograph. One invention was securely placed on the footing of another,
