 **Introduction**
Throughout the 1850s to 1910 the western movement helped develop inventions and helped entrepreneurs become known. Levi Strauss was a known inventor due to the famous working pants, known as jeans. Just look as the pair of jeans you are wearing, they all started from this man. Now that we have automobiles, bicycles have lost some of their use. But back when western civilization was starting, the bicycle was a big thing, it helped people get around when cars weren’t in existence, it was the main means of transportation for people. Gradually as times passed, inventers began developing the model of the bike, to make it more efficient. You know how you text in class and are always calling your friends about the latest gossip, well the cell phone came from the invention, the telephone. Before the phone was a huge piece of metal and could barely be transported by the back pocket of your jeans, but just look now, they are making phones that are touch screens, and that are thin as a razor. Look down, the keyboard you are typing on is a high technical creation from 1868, the year of the typewriter. Back then there wasn’t myspace or facebook for people to talk on, all they were able to do was send letters. The typewriter helped create a more efficient way of finishing things and an easier way to communicate, it was a huge success in the newspaper business. Just think, a little object you own now could become a huge machine.
