I still think the world wide web is the greatest invention in the last 50 years. even better than the bomb. it doesnt hurt people and yets its changed our lives.
 
philosophy :D as the first attempt to attempt to categorize and understand the world in a way that was not dependent upon the gods. before philosophy the whim of the gods was the way of the world and since the gods could not be understood neither could the world. after the attempt to categorize and understand the world became possible (albeit sometimes poorly :D).
 
Can't believe no one said "knife"

Even after thousands of years it's still a versatile tool. Not a day goes by I don't use my pocket knife, and on the rare occasion I forget it, I feel off all day.
 
Think long and hard about it and choice is very clear.

Alternating current and a method for its distribution.

Without it electricity would be unsafe to run into a home

Take it from there.

Nikola Tesla came up with the brilliant idea

Give him a lil credit for the greatest invention

He also invented and holds pattents for several hundred other things dealing with both electrical and non electrical devices.

compared to him Edison was not really that smart

Microwave ovens - without them the 10 minutes of paid breaks so graciously granted us, the unworthy, by the mighty Capitalists would be one big hungry growl.

You use a pocket knife every day? How/where?

I dont really think you can classify any medical thing as a great invention... All they are doing is allowing people to live longer which in turn is causing greater deterioration of the planet.


The bicycle must be up there. Think about how old it is and how little it has changed since its creation.

Optical fibres is also a pretty good invention

Writing.
And, the printing press.

My job mostly(retail), having to open a box or a bag of something everyday. Keep a knife sharp and honed and a well controlled slash opens a bag faster than tearing it or a pair of scissors.
