Many say that the wheel was the greatest invention ever however after reviewing a documentary on the construction of one of the earliest engineering feats ( Stone Henge) which was constructed over a thousand years before the pyramids of Egypt and the proof that was offered by the authorities that were consulted for the documentary citing the use of levers to move the heaviest of the stones. ( some weighing more than 40 tonnes) I would have to say .. THE LEVER.

Printing press - it was responsible for the renaissance. For the first time in the history of the world, knowledge could be shared to the masses. It resulted in an explosion of civilization. The world was changed by this invention more than any other.

The water purification plant. Without enough clean drinking water the world, as we know , will grind to a halt. All other discoveries pail into insignificance compared with the water purification and desalinisation plants. Without enough water, the human growth would stop and no other discovery would ever have been made.

Your question is difficult to answer, cause man has made many great inventions, so we can all enjoy life the way we do today.
But I'd have to say Electricity, because without it, we wouldn't have the technology we do today.

in my opinion, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison are both adult males who've helped us to be ready to be what we are as we talk. and that is: overly depending on a slow source of electrical energy and pretend lighting fixtures(authentic lighting fixtures being that which the sunlight supplies off). capturing electrical energy and using it to make each and every section we've from computers, phones, ipods, CD gamers, mixers, followers, area shuttles- you call it. With electrical energy we are effective in concepts human beings one hundred years in the past might want to not in any respect have imagined. And yet we are so weak mutually because without it we are truly powerless. actually.
