Influencial Person of the Twentieth Century: Henry Ford

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 - April 1, 1947)

I think that Henry Ford was a very influencial and important person of the twentieth century. Henry Ford, of course, was the man who founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903. He was also the man who invented the assembly line, which was used for mass production. When Ford introduced his Model T to the world, he revolutionized transportation and American industry. Ford was awarded 161 U.S. patents and, being the sole owner of the Ford Company, became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. I think that the automobile was one of the most clever inventions of the time. Althought today they contribute to the cause of pollution, they are very usefull and people really, really like them. I think that, had Ford not invented the Model T or the assembly line, we would still be without these things today or that they wouldn't have been the same if invented by someone else.
