Africa in the Shadow of Inventions
Certainly, forgotten in the history books by the general public, many inventions that changed the face of the world were discovered by Afro-descendants, without forgetting those who also marked their time by their social position.
This creativity is present in all areas.
The inventions of Afro-descendants are so numerous and varied that it is impossible to list them all, but know that they are part of our daily lives.
Of the design of the first processor computer of a gigahertz by Marc E Dean, computer inventor, head of the team that developed the standard computer bus ISA ; Passing through the invention of the gamma electric cell by Henri Sampson (1934-2015) who is the father of the cell phone, to Our children's water gun, invented by Lonnie G. Johnson, John L Louve's pencil sharpener, October 11, 1867, not to mention Patricia E Bach (1942-2019), a doctor specializing in ophthalmology, who revolutionized the discipline by developing a laser surgery technique for removing cataracts. She named it "The SerphacoProbe."
Closer to our time, the next generation is assured
