世界上第一個觸屏電話不是蘋果發明的-現代技術常常可以在曆史找到“原始形態”
在技術發展史上人類是互相學習互相啟發青出於藍勝於藍。有的發明可以獨立產生。很多發明可以憑直覺產生。現代技術常常可以在曆史找到“原始形態”
很多人以為蘋果第一個將觸屏用於電話。實際上IBM才是：

“The IBM Simon was the first phone with a touchscreen in 1992 — it’s also referred as the first “smartphone,” though the term was not yet coined. A few competitors came out in the early '90s, but most mobile devices with touchscreens were more like PDAs”。
現在手機界麵上顯示對應於應用的icon。它的應用是click一下打開對應的應用。這是很直觀的設計。就像打開門進入一個房間一樣。
再看看火箭。中國很早之前就有了。中國的火箭是世界上最早出現的火箭：
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_rockets
“The first rockets were used as propulsion systems for arrows, and may have appeared as early as the 10th century Song dynasty China. However more solid documentary evidence does not appear until the 13th century. The technology probably spread across Eurasia in the wake of the Mongol invasions of the mid-13th century. Usage of rockets as weapons before modern rocketry is attested in China, Korea, Indian subcontinent, and Europe. One of the first recorded rocket launchers is the "wasp nest" fire arrow launcher produced by the Ming dynasty in 1380. In Europe rockets were also used in the same year at the Battle of Chioggia. The Joseon kingdom of Korea used a type of mobile multiple rocket launcher known as the "Munjong Hwacha" by 1451. Iron-cased rockets, known as Mysorean rockets, were developed in Kingdom of Mysore by the mid 18th century in India,[1] and were later copied by the British. The later models and improvements were known as the Congreve rocket and used in the Napoleonic Wars.
Use of liquid propellants instead of gunpowder greatly improved the effectiveness of rocket artillery in World War I, and opened up the possibility of manned spaceflight after 1918.”
