Babbage's analytical engine was the first general computing device that is able to solve different types of calculations. Interestingly, the engine was made at the time in electronics has not emerged. Babbage's analytical engine continues to develop until his death in 1871.

Contact Lens (1632), so Contact Lens (1887/1950)

Aeolopile / Automata (first century), so the Steam Engine (1698/1954)
Steam engine is credited as one of the most important creations in the industrial revolution. Steamships and locomotives allow for faster transport between countries or oceans. While the creator of James Watt steam engine, the application first appeared centuries before he was born.
Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria describes a tool named Aeolopile, the first device to apply steam to the rotary motion. This tool has a blank dots of water on the stove, so when the water boils, steam past him and make a circle in it spins.

Unfortunately, according to MadeHow.com, Minister Etienne Francois de Choiseul was not interested. Then, the vehicle was moved to National des Arts et Metiers in Paris and on display there ever since.

Machinery Seller (first century), so Machine Sales (1880)
Vending machines can be found in schools, airports and most of the building. Currently, these machines are in the health debate. This surprising, this machine has been around since the first century and used to distribute the holy water in ancient Greek temple.
