In Africa, for example, tourismâs effects on indigenous peoples have been profound, with the eviction of communities from their lands, in addition to economic dislocation, breakdown of traditional values, and environmental degradation.
The Invention of the Toaster. Who invented the toaster? George Schneider, who once worked for the American Electrical Heater Co. in Detroit, was the very first to apply for an electronic toaster patent application in the United States, which happened some time around 1893 to 1900.
On June 30, 1896, William Hadaway was issued the first patent for an electric oven. In 1910, William Hadaway went on to design the first toaster made by Westinghouse, a horizontal combination toaster-cooker. One major improvement in electric ovens was the invention of resistor heating coils, a familar design in ovens also seen in hotplates.
