When you think of the innovations that have changed the way people live in the United States, what comes to mind? Naturally, everyone thinks of the personal computer and the telephone. Some may mention penicillin, the Internet, or frozen foods. But in a recent survey by the Henry Ford Museum and America Online, residential air conditioning was named America’s top innovation.

“I think it’s incredibly exciting that our industry is being recognized by the American public as one that has changed the way Americans live,” said Jack Dowling, owner of RS Andrews. “I am honored to provide world-class service to Atlanta homeowners who want to experience the true comfort of America’s top innovation.”

The survey began at 5 am on Monday, July 22, and closed at midnight on August 5. Nearly 2.5 million votes were cast, sparking a national debate about the innovations that have most influenced or changed the way Americans live today. Each day, AOL polls register an average of 1 million votes, making it a leading source for measuring public opinion in the United States.

“The results of this survey give us great insight into what Americans most admire in innovation. Above all else, we want to be comfortable and healthy,” said Steve Hamp, president of the Henry Ford Museum.

While residential air conditioning topped the list, the rest of the top ten included penicillin, personal computers, global positioning satellites, cell phones, broadcast television, the Social Security Act, the Internet, frozen foods, and the polio vaccine. .
