Brilliant people change the world into a better place to live. Great inventions contributes a lot in our lives significantly. For me, the best invention ever is the computer. Computers are very useful. You get a lot information and can communicate with people who live long distance from us. Isn't it amazing? Thanks to brilliant people who spend most of their time inventing.^^ What's yours?

Unquestionably the greatest invention of all time was,'the discovery of fire!' What would humanity be like today if we had never discovered fire? We would not be hunters, but would be gatherers. Everyone would go out in the morning looking for enough nuts and berries to make it through the day.

Well, yo may hear tons of options as an answer to this question. One will say TV, or PC ... but those have depended from some inventions before ... and so on, going back in time. And I tell you, the very first tech invention / discovery human have made were fire and wheel. Without the fire and the wheel, humanoid beings woulndt have ever had the chance to develop up to this age of information and speed ...

The root of all invention was done in prehistoric period, and that was the invention of the Wheel, People started making utensils, then started moving, then so many things due to Wheel... The invention of Wheel and manual generation of fire qualify for the best invention ever, this made the human being what they are now.

The greatest invention for me would be flight (airplanes, helicopters, spacecraft, etc). Who would have thought that there could be huge heavy objects that could fly and transport people and things from one destination to another. It makes traveling to almost any place in the world possible. Some can even travel to outer space.

Technologically there are too many to choose from, each the result of what came before it. So I'd have to say the free standing home be it the tents of nomadic folks or stationary structure AND all forms of transportation. It is these inventions that are the great grandparents, as it were, of the internet and communications with knowlege beyond our caves..Enjoy!

Every Invention has its own significance and importance.In medical invention of many things has done wonders.In scientific inventions it has done the people reach to distance places above the sky .The inventions has no boundaries.Human being brain has all the power which tries to invent things.I think still such a kind of brain is not invented.Human and the God who makes everyhthing come into a mans brain ,And what ever is going on Earth or in the universe is all togetther a big source for new inventions to come up .

According to me, the best invention so far in the history of human civilization is the invention of 'wheel'.

For me it is Alternating Current (AC) and the greatest inventor of all time is "Nikola Tesla". I would like to mention here that he has invented "Earthquake machine" at that time and he was working on wireless transfer of electricity. He was the genius and people suggest that he was an alien contactee.

Without AC you can't think of anything in this world, computer, fax machine etc. are dependent on AC. I feel this was the greatest invention for mankind.

yeah! yeah! Hail for Nikola Tesla!! I love this guy also. Thomas Edison should be ashamed. hahahahaha just joking. The HAARP thing was sure thing one of his idea. I think Bluetooth and other wireless devices also came to his ideas. He so fond of electro magnetics technologies. And also, I like those Tesla Electric Cars.

Yes, I do agree with you that Edison tried to suppress Tesla for his own good but Tesla had so much of knowledge that could not be stopped. There are some alarming things about Nikola Tesla that force me to think he was an alien contactee. E.g. This URL describes how he designed the flying saucer and all of it's parts which is not possible till today (at least on paper). http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread555439/pg1

There are so many, but I think one is the fax machine. I cant imagine how a data was being transferred to different place without uaing internet.

hi tess to think that when my son first gaveme my computer and monitor I was in my fifties and I went balking and moaning oh I will never surf the net I would not know how, and three months later I am saying oh my G I wish I had got these ten years ago. The net is just fabulous as I can find information on everything. On the net I found genealogy sites that helped me to do most of my family tree then I found a survey site where I always made ten to twenty dollars then came mylot and I have had a wonderful time here and made money while having fun and enjoying friendships from all over the world. I am staying on mylot as long as I live. wow.Yes computers rule the world now hurrah for computers and monitors too.

I totally agree with you tess! The computer together with the internet is the best invention ever. With it, friends of long ago that you haven't seen since you elementary days could now be seen even if they are already in the other place of the world. Now, you can find jobs online and make friends from all over the world , like this wonderful site Mylot.

The greatest invention for me, if we should talk about very long time ago, before the computers came is the telephone. If not for this invention people would not be able to communicate from this side of the globe to another. And these simpler inventions invented a long time back I am sure has contributed so much for today's innovations and developments of technology.

Internet is the best invention ever...It just bring so much freedom in our world these days...To access information fast, to comunicate with your friends and family for free. Its great!

The world today really is complicated and intrigue me with full of questions and answer to do those, why are they made, what's the use, or is it destructively boring to use? These facts still are questioned untill today. "Present big bang" news is about technology. But are we aware of it that this technology are born to this exact year or simply say is it really neccesary to invent this thing....... For me it really makes our daily lives more breathing ease and benefits more to us by its good use. Defy the nature to its true limits is the key used by most of the inventors or scientist. Thats why more technology and developing research still unanswered. Still I'm waiting for the most shocking discovery of all time. That is to invent food through elements like water or produce air that is breathable, nothing last in this earth we stand today, who knows what lies ahead on us in the near future. The main point is the unknown future brings lots of questioned to be answered. Is technology one of those that will answer the indescribable hunger of invention? A big question mark still strocked my mind through discovery.
