Throughout the wars that humanity has started, people try to invent new technologies to gain an advantage over the enemy. The three technologies created by humans are penicillin, computers, and the global positioning system (GPS). These three technologies outweigh the importance of all others. Penicillin has saved millions, perhaps hundreds of millions, of lives since its discovery in 1928. After the war, the three most important wartime technologies were penicillin, the computer, and the global positioning system. Penicillin is one of the most important war technologies ever invented because it was inexpensive to make, easy to produce, and saved the lives of many soldiers who would have died from minor infections. The computer is one of the most important technologies of war because it allows the military to calculate numbers more quickly, it allows soldiers in the army to contact their loved ones around the world, and it allows the army to control drones and other machines to fight instead. military. GPS is one of the most important technologies in warfare because of its navigation accuracy, its ability to track a person's location, and the few negatives it has. One of the most important war technologies ever invented was penicillin, because it was inexpensive to make, it was easily made, and it saved the lives of many soldiers who would have died from minor infections. Alexander Fleming once made an important discovery in his laboratory. "In 1928, he was straightening a stack of Petri dishes in which he had grown bacteria, but which were piled up in the sink... Mold was growing on one of the dishes" (PBS, par. 2) . Penicillin is an easily reproducible resource, it is so easy to cultivate that... middle of paper ... it is not possible to triangulate a person's location because they are covered in dense forest. GPS is a major technology in war because of its ability to find a person within three meters of their actual location. Its ability to allow soldiers to follow soldiers. And because it only has two major drawbacks. The three most important technologies in wartime were penicillin because it was inexpensive to make, easy to produce, and saved the lives of many soldiers who would have died from minor infections, the computer because it allowed The Army can calculate numbers faster, it allows Army soldiers to contact loved ones around the world, and it allows the Army to control drones and other machines to fight instead of soldiers and the global positioning system, due to its navigation accuracy. ability to track a person's location and how many negatives they have
