Mine has to be light bulbs by Thomas Edison.
Simply because they aid us in every day (and night for the pedants) life. It must of been a bitch to use raw fire every time we needed to see artifically. We take them for granted.
Big up Thomas Edison.

Recyclable items.
the microchip, there would be no electronic/computer technology we have today without being the size of a house.
All right, reasons?
My choices, the Wheel, the Stirrup, and the Scratch plow are 3 of the major inventions that allowed us to go as a species from hunter-gatherers to an agrarian civilization.
Of those, the plow is by far the most important.
The computer, whose invention brought us into the Information Age and has hastened nearly every other aspect of modern civilization and industry.
Antibiotics, which have saved millions of lives and, if they're prescribed judiciously and prudently, will save millions more (assuming the over-prescription that has occurred already doesn't make everyone antibiotic-resistant).
computers were the dawn of a new modernized life... without computers, virtually nothing you do today could of been done. from spreading information, to solving problems otherwise impossible to be done by humans.. (realisiticly) take crime for example... you know how many today's killers would just walk away, cuz ther ewas no video tape, no expansive data base (from one state to another, to one continent to the other, and i mean shit like finger print registry) without computers you'd never be able to track someone down if they jumped countries... cuz all you'd have is what was on your area's books..Quote:

Toilet paper....because fked if i would wanna be using newspaper or leaves and shit.....OUCH!.
I'd have to say antibiotics. The ability to effectively fight infection was a great advance in medical science that has saved countless lives.
Kenn makes a good point.
If I had to choose, I wonder which would win out?
I can have a clean ass and be miserably hot, or a dirty ass and have the rest of me be comfortable.

1. condoms
2. rolling papers
who invented bongs?
the screw...
im gonna back up my claim that language is the greatest invention.
think about it, humans are a very social creature, if we couldnt communicate with each other, we would be lost. none of these other inventions would have ever been realized. and before anyone says it. we did not invent fire, we discovered it. therefore, i think language, even in their earliest primitive forms, have been the most important inventions in the history of man-kind.
i would go with u but i see language as bein more of something that came with evolution. it wasnt invented it just kinda came.Quote:

Gutenburgs printing press was the greatest invention as it was the first form and the continuing form of mass media. Mass media has expanded to the radio, television, and internet, but print has been swaying the populus for over 500 years and counting.
