CFFC – inventions

Dan is now hosting Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge! Find information at the below link. Thanks so much for continuing this fun challenge each week, Dan.

For this week’s prompt we are to find photos of something that has been invented.

Starting with Inventions — CFFC

What a fun topic this is – Invention! However, hard to pick some, because everything we ever used then or now was invented at some time in history. Everything!  haha 🙂

***

Here are some of the ones I thought of.

Lots of different kinds of cameras I’ve had. There were earlier ones but I don’t have a picture of them. I had an old  box camera, and my dad would develop the photos himself. I also had a Swinger and a Polaroid that gave the pictures right then. Now it is so easy to take a picture with our phone camera! I’m glad they kept improving them.

Radios are favorites for me. I have a lot of them, from regular transistors, wind up emergency ones, shortwave ones, & police radio scanners.

The home movie camera was fun to use. (should be up there with the other cameras). I took lots of home movies with the Super 8 and got them developed. We could show them by loading the film reel onto the projector and then they would be displayed on a screen or a blank wall in the house. I still have this whole set up.

Just Jot It January – Serendipity – Day 20

#JusJoJan 2019 Daily Prompt – Jan. 20th

***

Your prompt for JusJoJan 2019, January 20th is brought to you by Jill! Click here to find her last post and say hi while you’re there! Jill’s word for our prompt today is “serendipity.” Use it anywhere in your post or make it the theme of your post. Have fun!

***

Today’s Jot word is = serendipity. Thanks, Jill!

***

Serendipity = the accidental discovery of something good that you hadn’t been looking for.

***

That is a nice sounding word, a fun word to describe an unplanned wonderful surprise. There have been lots of things discovered accidentally in medicine, and technology throughout the years. In Jill’s post she mentions the microwave oven, and penicillin as two of them, and I’d seen them, too when I looked up what serendipity meant.

What are some more? Hang on a minute while I look….

These are just a very few of the accidental discoveries from the past that are still used today:

Vaseline

Potato Chips

Coca Cola

Plastic

Teflon

Velcro

Popsicles

Post-It Notes
