Best Invention

[Lion]

To you, which has been the best most amazing invention.  Mine it's the photo camera.

My invention would be fire. Without fire some of us wouldn't know how to cook food. Also using fire can help you in wildlife expeditions that is if your hungry. Oh yeah we can use fire so we won't freeze to death in the cold. Its some true stuff.

^^^Thing is, fire wasn't really invented persay, it's natural. I can see where you're coming from though.

For me, I'd have to say the internet. I know that sounds nerdy, but it's true. In under twenty years, the internet has managed to connect the entire world, allowing instant communication from anywhere to anywhere. A generation ago, school projects involved sitting in a library for hours on end copying from books. Nowadays, you fire up Wikipedia, type it up in Notepad, and you're done.

It also allows us to discuss semi-obscure 1970s cult films, though who would want to do something like that is beyond me.

The iPod or any other fabricated MP3 player...you have music to your ears everywhere...as long as its not dropped, its fully charged and 100% working headphones (one earplug can ruin it for you!) then you're good to go!

Indoor pluming. I'm afraid of animals attacking me while going outdoors.

[glow=red,2,300]The Clock[/glow]
If you really think about it..
Before this invention, time was inseparable from events,
the main one being the Sun crossing the sky.
Only local time existed, no universal river of time.
If you agreed to meet someone at sunset,
you had to say where, because the Sun is always setting somewhere.
The sundial merely divided the Sun's daily journey into units,
which meant the hour had no fixed length: it swelled and shrank with the seasons.
Besides, no one carried a sundial around, so you never heard anyone say,
"Can't talk now, I'm on the sundial."
Then, mechanical clocks came around--gears, springs, pendulums, the works.
Gradually, as these clocks all came to be coordinated, they created public time,
a thing in itself: one single, universal current flowing everywhere throughout the universe,
always at the same pace.
People could now communicate with each other by
coordinating to this universal frame of reference. Thus,
clocks made factories, offices, schools, meetings, and appointments possible.
The activities of millions could be meshed like, well, clockwork.
And of course, what clocks made possible, they soon made necessary.
In a clock-driven world, most of us are
now either "on time," "ahead of schedule," or "running late."

Being as my motto is laziness is a skill that must be practiced everyday, my choice for one of the best inventions is The Micro-wave oven.  A meal from the freezer and cooked in 5 minutes.  We'll probably all end up with cancer after years of microwave meals, but its just so conveniant.  Couldnt live without the TV either.  And velcro deserves a mention.

Ok, how about the automobile?

[Baby Bear]

Or the light bulb. Thomas Edison designed it. Well its part of electricty. Without that we won't be on this warriors forum.

The lightbulb is obviously the most essential.

[The Swan]

Well, mine are:
1st- Alexander Fleming's "Penicillin": it changed the world, and diseases' fear of the men!!!
2nd- All communications media, from telegraph to internet.
3rd- Cars, ships and the airplane... because of it the world is smaller!!! 8)

The telephone is another.  I wonder how these guys came up with all these ideas?

[turnbull_badger]

the CD/DVD/BD
how on earth did someone create these. did they just suddenly think "I will create a shiny circle that can hold music, films and video games" incredible

[Lion]

Specially if you came from the VHS era, believe me, we are very grateful.
