The best known British inventions. People do not think who made their life more comfortable but enjoy all the benefits of inventors

Throughout history, the British have been responsible for many great inventions and are still commonly acknowledged to be among the best in the world when it comes to inventing. Over the past 50 years, according to Japanese research, more than 40 per cent of discoveries taken up on a worldwide basis originated in the United Kingdom.

Many of these British inventions have had an enormous impact on the world. For example, imagine how different life would be today if Michael Faraday had not built the first simple electrical generator or if James Watt had not developed the steam engine?

We hardly have to explain to you the significance of the world wide web in shaping today’s socio-political landscape. The father of today’s digital landscape was an English computer scientist named Tim Berners-Lee, who created the first web browser whilst employed at CERN in 1989. The world wide web should not be confused with the internet, which is the series of networks through which we access the web. For such a small nation, there have been lots of great British inventions. Indeed, here are many things we wouldn’t have without British ingenuity and exploration of ideas. Some basic things that we take for granted wouldn’t be possible if weren’t for someone smart Brit many years ago.

It is common knowledge around the world just how much the British love their cup of tea. Morning time, have a cuppa. What about the afternoon? Simply got to have another cuppa. How would one get through the day without twenty thousand cups of tea when the drizzling rain is going on outside in England. Of course, the stove top and a pot of water worked well enough for centuries. However, the time it takes to boil the water in this way means less time for another cuppa. So, Peter Hobbs took care of this in 1955 by inventing the automatic kettle. He was cofounder of the company many of us know, and rely on today, Russell Hobbs. Even though back in 1955 the automatic kettle was expensive and ugly, it didn’t take long for it be accepted into society and modified to a thing of beauty, elegance, and most importantly, convenience for that cuppa.
