Water -- gotta have water.

Bladder -- when you gotta go you gotta go, but until then the bladder is a convenient place to store it up.

Salt -- salt is the only rock we can eat that is also necessary for life.


okay, you wanted man-made inventions. well,

Phonograph record --
Following the wax cylinder and cellulite film, the phonograph record was an excellent way to store and transfer and re-play sound recordings. I don't wanna live without music. Now, of course, we have audio tape and Compact Discs and even IPODS to store music, but the phonograph record started it all.

Plastics and plastic bags --
Today nearly every product we purchase contains some plastics. Most household products do not come packed in glass anymore, they are packed in plastic. Imagine dropping your glass bottle of shampoo in the shower -- plastics are definitely better. And before plastic trash bags, how did people get stuff to the dump or landfill?? Hopefully, plastic bags are all designed to degrade over time so we are not left with landfills of just plastic bags. Still, plastic bags are definitely a necessary thing.

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning --
Along with elevators and steel construction, air conditioning is what makes tall buildings possible. Nobody wants to be up on the 60th floor of a building without air conditioning.
As for refrigeration, it makes for healthier people and fewer cases of food illness and death from bad foods. Our food supply lasts longer and consumers don't have to go to the market every day to buy fresh products as they can stock up and store them at home in their refrigerators.

Light Bulbs --
Seems like a lame choice today as we don't give electric lights much thought. But I hate going to bed when the sun goes down. With light bulbs, I can work until 4 O-clock in the morning if I want to. All it takes are some light bulbs and a monthly payment to the electric utility company.

Well if I had to go and live on the top of the mountain. the one thing i couldn't do without is the water pipes.
Some sourse of music, be it a musical istrument i could play or hi-fi :-) tho the latter would also require elictricity.
and i absolutely can't live without my glasses :-( i'm very short-sighted. But as to who invented them there's no single opinion. It may even be that glasses were invented several times in different parts of the world, perhaps simultaneously

Mine has to be ...

Telephone, thanks to Graham Bell as without him ... I wouldn't be able to keep in contact with my family and friends abroad and indirectly ... Use the net! I mean before broadband days ... That was how it started, hence instant messages, e-mails etc.

Bleach! I live in the countryside, have two dogs (Sometimes 4 or 5 depends on how many i'm asked to look after part from my own) and bleach is still the best when it comes to killing germs left by mucky paws on the floor etc ... I can't recall who first discovered it though ...

BCG! Thanks to Calmet and Guerin i never had to endure the pain of TB (Tuberculosis) That killed too many children and adults not too long before i was born! I'm 55 you see so i still remember the days of closed hospitals in the countryside where people suffering from infectious diseases were kept away, often died in pain through no fault of their own. My mum lost 3 of her cousins to it, then, as a nurse, i spent a while working with contagious diseases and realised what a frightful disease this was. so you can imagine how the little scratches on my arm mean so little when i didn't have to take this disease.

fire, the knife for cutting and a pot for cooking, invented by cave people in the stone age ( ok the cooking pot is a luxury item, but the other item would be clothing to keep from freezing to death)
