    MomOF2: In my consumer-friendly and humble opinion i think of of the suitable invention of the previous 50 years has been the internet. Arguably, i think of the internet is for us now what the Gutenberg Press became in 1430; in terms of speaking, examining, sharing, and attaining out to human beings. This invention (the internet) as an celebration has allowed you to publish this question so as that could assist you in formulating a concept which you will then place to paper or for yet another very own use. the internet assists us in educating ourselves, our family individuals, our acquaintances, our acquaintances, and particular ~ even our enemies (for who ever they may be). the internet components you ideas on learn, lead us to a street of our discovery so as that we are able to "invent" the fairly and the imagined. the internet can help us to appreciate why optimal of human beings think of of so in any diverse case from those around us and help us in gaining a hold close on the perspective from diverse end of the bell curve. in short the internet became the suitable invention ever; besides the fact that, could desire to be non-existent till the Gutenberg Press have been invented first. Typewriters does no longer ensue till the 1860's (4 hundred years later); how often has the internet replaced simply by actuality it became first incepted? Then replaced on undertaking that month-to-month subscriptions have been offered? stable question....huge call coming Gerry D.

    The greatest invention was the printing press, as it allowed mass copying for books, newspapers etc.

    If you didn't have it today you wouldn't have newspapers, textbooks or anything written on paper.

    If you want something interesting you can do plastic; a result of WW2, or Automobiles; the most convenient way to transport things.
