The telephone and the telegraph were invented with the use of electricity. Radio waves were also discovered and now messages could be sent over long distances in a matter of seconds.Advances in Science were also made during the second revolution. The discovery of radioactivity by Marie Curie helped to discover the nuclear bomb. During the 1800's over 70,000 chemical compounds were broken down. (Some of these were petroleum, synthetic dyes and vulcanized rubber) Gasoline and Petroleum are still used widely. Gasoline is used in vehicles and Petroleum is used as an alternate energy source.
