1: Coffee

2: Camera
(

In the 10th-century Muslim mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al-Haitham discovered the camera technology by noticing the way light came through a hole in window shutters. The word camera comes from the arabic word qamara which mean “a private room”.
3: Alchemy
4: algorithm
Al-khwarizmi invented algorithms which has changed the world and is the fundamental building blocks of modern computers.
5: Alcohol
