We Argentines are used to falling and getting up, to get ahead no matter what happens. That ability gives us the possibility to see further, to find new solutions when everything seemed to be lost. Therefore, it is not surprising that some of the most important inventions in history have emerged in these lands.

We present 4 Argentine inventions that changed our lives:

 1) Fingerprints 

The classification method and the technology of identifying people by their fingerprints (Dactyloscopic System) was invented in 1891 by Argentine police Juan Vucetich.
