Invention+Convention

toc =First Person's Speech= Hi ladies and gentlemen,

I name is Henry Ford, just call me Henry, I was born in July 30, 1863 at Spingwells, Michigan, United States of America. My parents are William and Mary Ford. I am obviously an American. I am the eldest of the six children in my family. I grew up at our family farm located at Dearborn, Michigan. I became interested in mechanics and always opens the toys and study how does it work. As, my mechanical skills grew, I became interested in clocks and watches. I was so helpful that I helped neighbors fix clocks and watches for free. I attended a one-room school named Scotch Settlement School at the year of 1871. I helped my classmates fix their watches or clocks.

I got my job at the age of 16 which was a mechanic, I earned more money at night by working at a watch shop by helping customers fix watches and clocks .I married with Clara Bryant ant the year 1887, my son is Edsel Ford.

My main invention is the assembly line, I did not invent cars but my influence in the car was huge. By 1914,I came up with a solution to let most of the average American workers to be able to afford a car. The solution was to change the way a car was manufactured, instead of just one person it was one person working on just one part, and for example you’re hired to stick the logo on the steering wheel you do it till when your boss allows you to go home.

The assembly line helped all of you and the people back then to be able to have things that will be to costly for most of you. I don't think anyone of you can pay for an airplane ticket if I did not invent the assembly line. I helped the society by allowing to transport themselves quickly and also to help my company to be able to mass produce cars because it used to take 12 hours and 30 minutes to manufacture a car but my invention greatly shorten the time it requires to produce a Model T all the way to 1hour and 30minutes.The invention became used through out my company because of it's efficiency and advantages it brings to the company.

My invention is still used today because that there is no other way to manufacture and goods of products. The assembly line did not change but some things changed such as instead of that most things are man installed but nowadays, because of the advanced technology most of the process is done by robots.

I certainly believe that the assembly will be used in the future because there is so far no more ways of manufacturing that is cheaper and efficient than the assembly line and that it can save us lots of money. If the assembly is not used in the future it may waste us lots of money and will increase the time required for manufacturing.

Unfortunately I died at April 7, 1947 at the age of at the age of 83 leaving a fortune of more than $500 million. I was buried under the Ford cemetery at Detroit, Michigan.
