The Renaissance was a time of great development in art and science. Many breakthrough discoveries led to innovations that changed history. One of the most important innovations of the renaissance was firearms. This included cannons, muskets, and other guns. The musket was invented in the early 16th century, but weren't widely adopted by militaries untill the 17th century. Muskets were used untill the mid 19th century. These weapons made the heavy armour and swords of the middle ages obselete. This was because the armor was hard to move in, and couldn't stop the musket balls. Firearms were also incredibly important in Canadian history. The europeans traded firearms in the fur trade. Firearms changed the world because they were such an effective weapon. An important modern innovation is the smartphone. These phones allow people to connect all over the world, for better or for worse. This technology gives everyone a platform to spread information. This lets malicious people misinform the public quite easily. An example of this is the anti-vaxx movement. It is comparable to the printing press, in terms of spreading information. In conclusion, innovations are incredibly important, because they change the way the world does things. They usually make life easier for everyone, and advance society as a whole.
I have hidden myself in a historical image. I chose the burning of the white house during the war of 1812. Can you find me?
