Innovations Originally, the elevator was invented by Archimedes in 236
Bc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator
Then in 1405, a German engineer by the name of Konard Kyeser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator
Now lets speed up time, in 1853 Elisha Otis presented his first functional elevator, with its own safety system so
nobody can die. http://www.columbiaelevator.com/main/elevator-history/

The elevator became better over the years.
Impact on society positive side
It helped a lot of people get to work on time
It saved them from walking stairs so instead it'll just take you 2 minutes on the highest part of the building.

The elevator can lift heavy objects to the next floor instead of lifting something heavy

Added safety brakes on the elevator http://www.columbiaelevator.com/main/elevator-history/
Impacts on society negative side Killed a lot of people
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevators#Design
People who all are going up, all have different floors so it takes up time.
http://www.columbiaelevator.com/main/elevator-history/
People would get stuck on the elevator. http://www.columbiaelevator.com/main/elevator-history/
Future
What I would like to see in the future with this invention is, making it more safe
Maybe making the invention fly in the air without, the wires holding it
Adding a anti-fart gases, so when someone farts it can alert that someone did it and suck out all the bad air
