Which of the following is NOT a British invention?

Correct Answer: The mobile phone

The World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee, 1989), the Turing machine (Alan Turing, 1936), and the hovercraft (Christopher Cockerell, 1955) are all British inventions.

The mobile phone, however, was developed in the United States by Motorola — with the first handheld mobile call made by Martin Cooper in 1973.
