INVENTIONS
One of the greatest inventions is the mute button.
Mine:
10. General Relativity and Special Relativity
9. Motion Picture
8. Wireless Communication (Early Phones)
7. Airplanes
6. Antibiotics (Penicillin) and Vaccines
5. Nuclear-Powered Energy
4. Transistors (Computers)
3. Quantum Mechanics
2. Rockets
1. The Internet
There are interesting vacuum cleaner websites on the internet as fun to watch on you tube
My mom had a huge model back in 1978. Tappan.
I disagree. My top 10 are:
1. Nuclear energy (including atom bomb and nuclear power)
2. Powered flight
3. Rocketry
4. Wireless technology
5. Transistors (hence computers)
6. Internet
7. Antibiotics
The last 3 are seldom heard or rarely known:
8. Haber-Bosch process: the making of synthetic ammonia and hence artificial fertilizers vastly increases food production
9. Plastics: making things hygienic and readily accessible cheaply
10. Shipping container: facilitates trade and globalization, in a way contributes to world peace
The 20th century is what fascinates me. It had radical changes in almost every aspect of human society. Significant changes came unlike any other century before that. I am so glad the Internet is on the top of the list. I can't do without the Internet. A century of innovation and beginning to live longer as a result of penicillin and more vaccines. Billions dreamed of flying prior to 1903, and I am glad it's been a dream come true for a little more than a century. The computer should be ranked at second place. I am glad life has become easier and better as a result of what happened in the 20th century in the inventions.
How is the vacuum cleaner more important than the microwave
Refrigerator?
"The internet went down for three hours, this morning, plunging the nation into productivity"
Lol where is the light bulb
Watch mojo idiots take on technology… microwaves and vacuum cleaners next to computers and nuclear power… well done… stupid morons
