Every day, humans strive to produce new innovations. Be it the discovery of electricity to the invention of toilet paper, the human race is a determined and hardworking species. The single most important and effective method in achieving such innovations is none other than trial and error. Two prime examples of trial and error in action are the Wright Brothers and Alexander Graham Bell. These men utilized trial and error to their advantage, and remained persistent until they were successful. Orville and Wilbur Wright (the Wright Brothers) were men that lived from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. They were credited with the invention of the first airplane. In 1903, Orville Wright flew the airplane for the first time, and the flight itself lasted around 12 seconds. During the next decade, the brothers made immense improvements to their revolutionary invention, and set the precedent for planes flown today. The Wright Brothers endured critical and deliberate trial and error to prove that man possessed the ability to …show more content…
Bell was the ingenious inventor of a commonly underappreciated household item. Bell invented the telephone in the late seventeenth century, and completely changed the world because of it. Bell saw that his assistant, Mr. Watson, stood a few miles away from the room in which Bell held the telephone. Bell spoke simple words into the device: “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you.” Bell was astonished when Mr. Watson walked into the room, and both men instinctively and simultaneously saw the impact that the telephone could have on the world around them. Despite their incredible success, Bell failed countless times. An extraordinary revolution means an extraordinary amount of failure. However, Bell, like the Wright Brothers, remained persistent until he was successful. He withstood an immense amount of trial and error, and as a result, he changed the
