There are only two choices, either the Universe created itself, which is complete nonsense. Psalm, 14:1. Or there is an unimaginably Wise and Powerful Creator that spoke it into existence. Genesis, 1:1. Psalm, 33:6. Since this is the only logical choice it would behoove us to find out who He is, and what He wants, and get busy doing it. John, 6:29.

When it was invented, how could it have changed history? History was something that had already happened. If you mean the history from today, then that would be the future from its invention, which had not happened yet, so how could it be changed?
