The two research technologies that i chose is the 1600s typewriter to the 21 century laptop.

Typewriter:

Who: Created by Christopher L. Sholes, Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soule

Where: Well in the 1860s there were early typewriter invented in  Italy, Brazil, Austria, Denmark and the US. The first commercially sold typewriter seems to be the Hansen Writing Ball, which was sold in Denmark in 1865. But in 1867 the first typewriter to be commercially successful was invented, in Milwuakee Wisconsin USA.

When:1867

How: The standard typewriter had a wider plate a rubber-covered, steel cylinder for absorbing typing impact in the carriage the part that moved the paper into place that could hold oversized forms. The portable manual typewriter was smaller in size, lighter in weight, and equipped with a carrying case for easier movement and storage.

Laptop:

Who: Invented by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne.

Where: It was built around Palo Alto, California. There was no one specific place it was built (as it took a while to design and build). However, popular folklore says it was built in Steve Jobs' garage.Contrary to what other posters have said, it was NOT built by Steve Jobs. It was designed and built by Steve Wozniak. Steve Wozniak was working for HP at the time (in their calculator division).
When: It was introduced on April 1, 1976
