We have come a long way since the stone wheel, the house in the cave, dinosaurs ... what do you think the "things" that may have made this planet of ours a different place: Events, incidents, discoveries, inventions and so on. Thank you !

By the way, Mister 2-15-2, SOME of us can "review more information than many 18th century people reviewed in their lifetimes" - provided we have access to a computer and the Internet. But what do they do with it?
On the other hand, I have seen many 18th century people make far more lengthy and literate contributions than us with all of our access to information. For example, see Edward Gibbon's 'History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.' Let me know when you see someone who has reviewed more than Edward Gibbon in his lifetime, and what his or her publications are.

The Internet going forward. Would guess following: in one hour you can review more information than 18th century people reviewed in lifetime.

I would say few things have transformed the world as much as the harnessing of electricity.
