For the World Exposition in Paris

According to wikipedia:

Karl Benz's internal-combustion automobile engine (1885) cars go vroom

Alfred Nobel's dynamite (1867) First high explosive that could be safely handled. Useful for mining and clearing areas for infrastructure.

George Stephenson's Rocket, 1829, would lead to great railroad infrastructure, which helped with city planning, made moving to the city easier, and made trade and large-scale commerce much better. For example, now placing factories in population centers made more sense. (I barely understand why myself, but okay)

James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny

Thomas Edison (1879)

Reinforced Concrete

James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal

Allowed for more sewing, including at-home

William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792) Lit his home using coal gas. Also, he was James Watt's assistant.

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876) Made communicating across long distances much easier, but such conversations still had to be done in public, etc.,

Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph and Morse Code (1837) This would allow for long-distance communication

Jethro Tull (1708)'s mechanical seed drill

Early form of photography

Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854) Revolutionized the production of steel

Made generators and electrical engines possible

James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal Allowed for barges to carry coal from Worsely to Manchester

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine First commercially successful (though kind of clumsy) steam engine, used to pump water out of coal mines. Big deal, since we've just unlocked a new power source.

Large suspension bridge, "triumph of engineering."

From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

First transatlantic cable completed

Lit his home using coal gas. Also, he was James Watt's assistant.

Invented the incandescent lamp. Though he was, in general, prone to rude tendencies.

This is a record player. Useful for music, instructions, etc.,

1858

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838) Early form of photography

Tremendously helped with making weaving easier, used in the putting-out industry at first.

Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent Useful for, like, ship distress calls. Say, for example, the one the Titanic sent out.

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago) 1883

Cartwright's power loom (1787)

For the World Exposition in Paris

Singer's first practical sewing machine (1851) Allowed for more sewing, including at-home

Gasoline refinement

The first successful steamboat. Like the locomotive, made trade so, so much better. For example, now the US could leverage its advantage in having the Mississippi river.

This would allow for long-distance communication

Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)

Michael Faraday (1831)'s discovery of electromagnetic currents Made generators and electrical engines possible

First steam-powered mill (1779)

Karl Benz's internal-combustion automobile engine (1885) cars go vroom

Automated thread spinning

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876)

Reinforced Concrete

First high explosive that could be safely handled. Useful for mining and clearing areas for infrastructure.

Under the Thames

Liverpool and Manchester Railway (1830)
