Most would say that the wheel is the best invention of all times. But i believe that Language and Communications is the best ever product made by man. It is the one thing that makes us different from animals. Without language, civilizations would never be built, there would be no unifying society. Without language, information would not be available, and if that did happen, i do think that the industrial revolution would never take place (remember, most of the things we use nowadays came from that age). Imagine life without it...

Two actually, similar but not same. Motor and generator.
One creates power and the other uses the power for the work. If it wasn't for these inventions we would still be stuck in the age where a bucket was used to draw water from a well.

The computer. With the Internet, the world is a much smaller place. I can communicate all over the world more quickly and effectively than ever before.
The worst invention? The computer. With the Internet you can loose hours and days of your life staring at a screen communicating to someone's avatar....

The semiconductor....commonly called the transisor is the single most important invention of the 20th century. It is now part of everything we use or do. Food we grow,process, and eat, is in some way automated through transistors, which use semiconductors. All forms of transportation other than walking or falling rely on electronics. All communications, all medical diagnostic tools, all financial activities other thant manual counting.....virtually everything you do or use in your day, uses elctronics and the semiconductor.

The color TV. Not the stuff you watch on it. Just the technology involved in inventing it. Quantum physics, Maxwell's equations on electromagnetism, a keen understanding of the properties of light . . . lots of knowledge went into making one of those babies. And what comes out of that? Maury Povich, Jerry Springer, TV Evangelists, and pro wrestling. Ironic, isn't it?

Agriculture. Being able to grow food where you want it led to a lot of the other advances in society -- hunter-gatherers don't do a whole lot of innovation.
On the minus side, Agriculture is also the worst invention of all time. It led to land ownership, taxation, disease, slavery.

The wheel but not for the reason you may think. The wheel in the form of gears and/or pulleys create an incredible mechanical advantge over the world around us.

Hole..
A very simple hole.
If you could find the other greatest invention that you think without a hole. Please tell me. Most inventions will not work without making a hole in it.
