    Not sure if it has been said yet.

    My favorite invention, although not a true invention but a series of ideas and implementations: The Compass

    Another we can all be thankful for that led to civilizations flourishing was smelting/Metallurgy

    Number 3 would have to be the Slinky.  What would life be like without slinky's?

    (micro)computers -> the chips are everywhere, not only in your pc!
    computernetworks -> internet
    music, if you can call that an invention. (some ppl call the sound of rain music, too)
    videogames, of course! (my drug, healthier and cheaper than most other drugs :p )
    language/letters -> most of our communication based of this: books, films, videogames etc.

    Bacteria. Whoa, that stuff is USEFUL.

    Pretty much NOTHING ever invented since this stuff would have been if BACTERIA hadn't been invented first. That was one smart protoplasm that cooked this stuff up.

    I love you protoplasm. ::::22::

    Forum signatures are stupid and annoying. I've turned mine off.

    1. microwave, had mine break on me two months ago.  i had to cook my food by stove and oven.  20 minutes is a long time when you are use to 2 minutes.

    2. VCR, you could save your favorite shows, or watch them if your favorite show is during a time you cant view it.  great invention.

    Have played: CoH, DDO EQ2, FFXI, L2, HZ, SoR, and WW2 online

    YUCK!... tou're telling me you only eat pre-made food? You're telling me you only go to the supermarket and buy tehse things you can put in the microwave and... voila... its ready???

    Man, you don't know what's good... Nothing beat a home cooked dinner. You got to start thinking about changing your habits! Not to say that, if I'm not mistaken, that kind of food is less healthy than the food you trully cook.

    I'm assuming you're from the US, its just I can only think about the US people as the ones with such strange habits! You crazy Americans ::::12:: ::::39::

    Ya guess where they got their name... when it first came out they where actually putting coke (the drug) in it to make it more addictive

    Note: Not positive that this is true but I've heard it multiple times

    Invention, n.: A new device, method, or process developed from study and experimentation

    Most of the inventions of mankind depend on another invention, one way or another. I'd have to say that the most important is the one that the most inventions depend on. In this light, I vote that inventing is the most important invention. After all, isn't that a process?
