There have been many inventions which have changed our lives. Here are given some very important inventions which we use in our daily lives so much that we don't even think about their invention..

Ball Point Pen
The first patent on a ballpoint pen was issued on October 30, 1888, to John Loud, a leather tanner, who was attempting to make a writing instrument that would be able to write on his leather products, which then-common fountain pens could not do. Loud's pen had a small rotating steel ball, held in place by a socket. Although it could be used to mark rough surfaces such as leather, as Loud intended, it proved to be too coarse for letter writing and was not commercially exploited.

What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers all have in common?
All were invented by women.
