- Though we take lighters for granted, if you think about it, they are an amazing invention. In any place, at any time--with only the press of a button--combustion is possible! We think the history of lighters is an interesting subject, so here you have it: The lighter was invented in 1816. The first lighter was called Dobereiner's Lamp (named after its creator, a German chemist named Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner). But his lighter did not use butane or oil as fuel, it used (the highly explosive) hydrogen.

How Long Does it Take to Become a Pediatrician The only part of a pediatrician’s education that fluctuates in terms of the time it takes to complete is the residency. You’ll need three years of hands-on experience in order to receive your pediatrician’s license and certification, but if you choose a subspecialty, you’ll need even more. Here, you might choose to participate in another two-year residency that focuses on your chosen subspecialty, but the opportunity to participate in a fellowship that lasts ten years or more may also exist.

How could someone invent the cigarette lighter before the match? It depends how you define match. Strike-able matches (the ones you can rub on a rough or chemical surface to light--i.e. self-lighting) were invented quite late--in the 1800's. But matches that were lit with a flint or some other source of fire or sparks are much, much older.

- Underwood Archives / Getty Images. While Thomas Edison is widely credited with inventing the lightbulb, the truth is that it took multiple inventors and several decades to successfully master a long-lasting incandescent light bulb. Incandescent bulbs work by sending electricity through a filament that glows before melting or burning.
