Help With Project

[Dopa]

I have a school project for world history where i must think of an invention and write a page report on it and draw a picture. How this is related to world history i have no fucking clue:confused:
I'm having the hardest time coming up with an idea and this project is worth like 50 percent of the quarter grade. Everyone here plz post your ideas for A NEW invention that is non-drug related since it is for school. Any and all help and ideas will be MUCH appreciated.:)

we had do something similar except we had a few more options and it was 10 pages...how about the decorticator.
It was invented in the thirties and was the equvilent to being the cotton gin of hemp. Then Andrew Mellon (the current secrtary of state) hired his nephew in law (Anslinger) to be part of the FBN (or maybe it was a diff name org) and he started the Reefer Madness Propaganda that ended hemp. All because Mellon had invested in 80% of the dupont chemical company which was the leader in manufacturing paper.

I know you didnt want drug related but its not directly...my pape wasnt about inventions but the war on drugs itself.
