Our lives are made better everyday thanks to inventions. But sometimes, inventions can make our lives worse. This can happen when an invention was not used according to the inventor’s plan. For example, Alfred Nobel, a Swedish scientist, invented a strong explosive in 1867. It was called dynamite and it revolutionized the world of engineering. After its invention, many bridges, tunnels and other structures were built with the help of dynamite. However, dynamite was also used to kill people in wars. This upset Nobel. Before his death, Nobel decided to use the money from his famous invention to make the world the better place. A special fun was started in Nobel’s name. Every year, Nobel prizes are given for extraordinary work in science, medicine, literature and the promotion of world peace.
