Well Fanta was invented by Max Keith in 1940.

William Friese Greene filed the patent application for a 3D viewing process in 1894/1895.

The very first 3D film was made in 1920 "The Power of Love" this was from a cinematic process developed by Robert Elder. All copies of this historic film are lost, but the film is recorded as being the first 3D film that was shown commercially in cinemas.

Sex dolls go back to the 17th Century with the Dutch sailors

The first what we would call a Computer was invented by Charles Babbage his Analytical Engine, a completely programmable machine that took him nearly thirty years to perfect, he designed it primarily to help navigation calculations. Babbage's Analytical Engine used a punch card system and also contained an arithmetic logic unit.

So no single person is responsible for all those inventions you mention.

I can tell you who perfected # 2, # 5 and # 6 and who invented # 3 and # 4 but it's not a single person, it's people who all belonged to a specific political party and if we mention that specific political party the Bedwetting Snowflakes won't like it and will even fanatically deny that that specific political party had anything to do with anything productive and constructive, they just push The Kool Aid Propaganda.

The Communists never contributed anything to anything, nothing productive or constructive, the Bedwetting Snowflakes love those Communists though.

The Computers were Z1-Z4 invented by Konrad Zuse, he completed Z1 in 1938, Z2 in 1940, Z3 in 1941 then um events got in the way and he was unable to complete Z4 until 1950.

Also in 1940 Zuse built S1 and S2, they both were computer machines designed specifically to compute aerodynamic corrections directly to the wings of radio-controlled flying bombs.

The S2 had an inbuilt A-to-D ie. Analog to Digital Converter and was the very FIRST process controlled computer.

Konrad Zuse was a genius.

Hugo Boss was a genius also, I have no time for people who do not have sartorial taste, beautiful clothing and polished shoes and personal hygiene are of paramount importance.

Edited to add: I am proud of our geniuses who contributed so much to modern technology, sartorial elegance and to the advancement of medical science including inventing vaccines for Tropical Diseases, TB, Smallpox, Malaria among others and contributing LIFE to MILLIONS who would have previously died because they needed a new organ, the perfection of Organ Transplants and also the perfection of Skin Grafts for those horribly burned and also given the WORLD something as excellent as Fanta, our peoples have nothing to be ashamed of, these geniuses are to be cherished.

People should concentrate on the positive and constructive things that our geniuses gave to this world.

He may have been, but the first computer was made by Charles Babbage in 1822. It was mechanical, not electronic, but it was a binary system that established the basis for the computer you are using right now.

Meh, I am talking about who is most responsible for ALL of them, not each one as an individual.

When one discusses technological development there are always dozens of people involved who contribute to the process.

But a certain person had a critical role in the development of all of these and had he not been involved they would likely have never been around in our time, hence my claim that they had a responsibility for all of them.

Otherwise it wouldnt be much of a riddle as anyone could go to Wikipedia for the answer.

Well, in that case you can go back to the ancient greeks who invented astrological computers.

What you refer as the Interstate highway system = Autobahn.

Fritz Todt who had a degree in Construction Engineering was charged in 1933 with that project and by 1936 hundreds of thousands of people were employed in the construction of the Autobahn and by 1940 nearly 4,000km of Autobahn had been constructed and opened and for the first time people were able to travel anywhere they wanted, including through mountains via specially constructed tunnels.

The ICBM, Intercontinenbtal Ballistic Missile was invented in 1940 by Wernher von Braun and his team, it was the ICBM A9/A10 which eventually became the V-2.

You Americans with your Operation Paperclip took Wernher von Braun and at least 2,000 other scientists, aeronautical and rocketry geniuses, technicians, engineers and medical geniuses back to America to work, he went to NASA and because of him you were able to put a rocket to the Moon which his rocket for NASA was a replica of the V-2 but modified not as a ICBM but to be launched into space. He lived in Huntsville, Alabama, this must have been a strange experience for him in Alabama.

All great points, but there is a person who had a decisive role in the development of all these things and had he not lived none of them would have become reality. Well, computers would have happened anyway, and eventually ballistic missiles too, but he made them come about much faster.

I need not go to Wikipedia, this information is branded into my brain, Commie POS don't want us to mention any of these things, but we do and we are ready at a moments notice to mention these things they are committed to memory.

Well I'll have to have a think then if you are certain that one single person is connecting all of these things.

To me to connect one single person to things as differing as ICBM and blow up sex dolls, at this moment I cannot tell you, so I'll have to think.
