e     Change  in  America  

Kota  Wharton  

In   the   early   1800’si,   many   revolutions  where   coming   into   play,   ones   that   would,   in   later  

years,  become  some  of  the  most  important  changes  in  human  historyii.    This  big  change  would,  later  

be   called,   ‘the   Industrial  Revolutioniii.    During   this   timeiv,   some,   very   important   inventions  where  

created   including   the;   cotton   gin   to   produce   new   and   faster   cottonv,   telegraph   to   improve  

communicationvi,   railroads   and   steam   engines   to   increase   speed   of   shipmentsvii,   and   so   many  

others.    However,  none  are  more  important,  to  this  writing,  than  the  invention  and  ideologies  of  the  

canal.     In   addition,   shall   later   prove   that   man   has   always   been   working   to   improve   his   life,   by  

creating  and  pacifying  technology.  

The   canal   was   an   invention,   or   more   methodviii,   created   by   Judge   Benjamin   Wright,   a  

resident   of   New   York.    Wrightix   created   the   idea   for   the   canal   in   1817x;   to   increase   trade   speed  

between  all  included  states  and  companies,  by  way  or  water.    

By  creating  a  big  project  as  such,  Wright  increased  need  of  labor  and  money,  and  benefited  

many  non-­‐workers  by  adding  a  good  one  to  ten  thousandxi  workers  to  a  job  list.    

With   increasing   jobs,   this   impacted   the   Americans,   economically,   greatly   in   positive  

reinforcements;   with   new   jobs   there   was   more   money   earned   that   would   equal   new   and   more  

products  to  buy,  and  in  turn  raise  the  companies  net  worthxii.    

The  American  society  on  the  other  hand,  may  have  suffered  the  most.    As  many  workers  lost  

lives  and  fought  off  to  get  back  into  a  sober  setting,  it  is  not  suppressing  to  learn  that  many  where  

injured  from  their  work.    Working  with  dynamite  and  explosives,  in  form  of  gun  powderxiii,  it  turned  

to   create  catastrophesxiv,  where  men,  and  only  men  workedxv,  working  on   the  project  would  only  

hold  their  shovels  over  their  heads  to  protect  themselves  from  flying  projectile.

On  a  third  hove,  as  it  was  since  many  animals  where  used  to  transport  rocks  away  from  the  

excavation   site,   the   American   culture   was   heavily   changed,   into   a   wider   and   more   open   and  

consumer  built  republic.    Men  and  women  did  not  need  to  travel  as   far,  and  could  now  settle  and  

become  families  and  not  clusters  of  people.    

Lastly,   for   the   canalxvi,   the  American  politics   changed   to   a  uniform  government   and   could  

now  learn,  slowly,  to  see  a  big  picture  and  start  to  fund  optimistic  ideas.  

This  is  why  the  Americans  profited  greatly  from  the  canal.    Which  in  such  away  leads  to  the  

next  objective?  

The  Water  Project  introduced  in  March  of  2015,  is  planned  to  be  revolutionary.  By  adding  a  

system  of  filtration,  which  would  not  need  electricity,  flame,  or  chemicals,  nor  would  expire.  It  has  

been  Kota  Wharton’s   goal   to   create   a   sustainable,   and   impacting   innovation   to  deliver   clean   safe  

and  non  contaminated  water  to  the  residents  in  3rd  world  countries.  

The  Water   Filtration   Project   (WFP)   is   a   notable   one,   sense   it   is   embarking   on   the   same  

prospects   as   said   in   the   canals,   creating.   By   allowing   one   to   shorten   travel   time,   and   include  

connections  between  families  that  no  longer  have  to  be  split  daily  to  obtain  this  natural  resource.  

By  decreasing  the  cost  of  the  WFP,  Wharton  is  planning  to  increase  home  revenues  by  more  

than  50%,   for  reasons  that  a   family  would  not  have  to  pay   for   travel  daily   for  miles  and  miles,   to  

obtain  water.  

With  more  income,  and  less  spending,  and  family  would  then  and  only  then  be  able  to  focus  

money  on  other  needed  items  like  food.    With  savings  and  better  food,  coverage,   it  would  be  then  

acceptable  to  include  that  the  quality  of  life  would  rise.  

The  countries  society  would  increase  to  happier  one,  if  and  when,  the  family  does  not  have  

to   travel   an   average  14.9  miles  daily  by   foot   to  bring  home  7   gallons  of  water,   but   instead   could  

renew  such  resources  at  home,  creating  a  more  stable  society  and  sustainable  relation.

With  the  possibility  of  death  almost  eradicated,  it  would  be  hoped  that  one  would  no  longer  

have  to  deal  with  daily  deaths,  nor  would  have  to  bear  loss.  

Wharton’s  invention  should  be  hoped  to  be  revolutionary  and  as  such  as  the  Canal.  

 

All   these   facts  above  can  clearly  pointxvii   that  humankind  has  always  been  developing  and  

creating  technology  to  better  suite  our  lives,  for  better  or  worse.    

Some  ask  ‘will  it  always  be  that  way?xviii  

And   a   true   answer   to   that   would   be,   probably.   Until   man   finds   his   way   in   life   and   is  

completely  satisfied,  as  shall  never  come,  in  a  healthy  state,  because  a  brain  is  always  yearning,  he  

will  always  want  to  make  his  life  suite  him,  in  his  own  way.xix
