Cat | What do you think is the Greatest Invention and why? Sue |
StarLover33 | The Refrigerator, because if we didn't have this invention we would have to grow our food. -StarLover |
Hopeful | The internet - because otherwise I wouldn't have discovered and come to know the many beautiful, enlightened souls here at LindaLand. Hopeful |
Randall | Thanks to Al Gore for inventing the internet! ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca Clark |
Foxxy | Can I say written comunications? Pen and Paper? I mean imagine a society without it? If not I'd say the microwave. Mmm instant popcorn . . |
jwhop | Hmmm, I'd have to go with back seats for automobiles jwhop |
Cat | Jwhop So what did they do before seats Sue |
jwhop | Hey Sue You're asking me to remember way back! So, OK it's coming back to me now! Wow!! Poison Ivy jwhop |
Foxxy | LOL!!! JWHop |
Randall | The first great invention would probably be a toss-up between the printing press, penicillin, and refrigeration. But I'd have to say the greatest of all-time is the computer. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca Clark |
Cat | What're everyone's thoughts on the mobile phone (cell phone) A lot of people say they can't live without one....... Sue |
jwhop | I would have to say animal husbandry and the coming of agriculture (planting vegetable and fruit crops) which took people out of the hunter-gatherer mode and made civilization (more or less) possible. |
Aphrodite | writing |
Randall | ice cream ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca Clark |
moonshadow | I would not name a specific thing but the technology that has come about because of the age of aquarius . |
La-Tee-Da | I would have to say the Internet. Without this wonderful invention, we would not be a family!!!! I love all of you!! and owe this beautiful group to the Internet!! ------------------ Hugs,LTD ~~The struggle keeps us young~~Daring to make mistakes and knowing there are none.~~DGM |
Miracle | Books. |
spin-boson | A/C and D/C Tesla is the man, Edison-well we all know now. |
Rue | Disposable diapers! you wouldn't catch me using one of those cloth things! The radio, it was the begining of in home electrical entertainment,all though I suppose familys may have had a bit more communication with eachother before it, but they probably thought of new things to talk about, with all the new music and storys they were hearing, not to mention they got local news first hand this way. And one more is transportation, I would hate to walk from here to my sisters, or even ride a horse there, so many people died this way. I think transportation has been a life saver, to bad it's also very destructful to the enviroment. Ok.... one more thing (I keep poping out with ideas!) Steel, it is SO useful for things like bridges and apartment buildings, our countrys would be sooooo crammed without apartments, people would be making man made islands because there would be no more room, espesially in places like Asia or big North American citys. Alright, thats it! Rue |
ZenRia | The greatest invention of all times is chocolate! End of discussion hehehe! ------------------ In Peace, Ria |
Cat | Ria Yes how could I have overlooked that one - it's the one thing that solves everything Sue |
raj_105_2001 | Electric bulb - I used to think. It was the first use of the greatest discovery - Electricity. Infact after the invention of Electric bulb, Technology started progressing exponentially. Some would say it is the Television - some say it is the worst invention(!). The Computer is certainly a great invention. If you had asked me about a century ago, anybody would say it is the telegraph or the train - they were the greatest inventions during the period. Before the invention of petrol engines, railways were the chief means of transport. Infact the Train is the most primitive of modern inventions(!). In today's world, it is difficult to say. I would say it is the mouse! |
