Q of the Day: Most Important Invention

Tweet

Inventions and those who invented them sure made life a lot easier. Can you imagine where we would be without them. Throughout history these inventors have used their ideas and creativity to develop a process or device many of which we still use today. If you had to choose what you consider to be the best inventions ever created what would they be? Here are 3 major ones I would put right up there as major advancements. And they are still important today. 1. Airplane- as far as taking travel to the next level after cars to get somewhere faster the invention of the airplane accomplished that purpose. It brought the world closer together by allowing us to travel great distances. We can thank the Wright Brothers and other inventors of aerial devices who dreamt about and then developed these flying machines. 2. Penicillin- When you are very sick this invention would be prescribed by your doctor as a treatment. Penicillin definitely transformed the medical world. Discovered by the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming in 1928, this drug changed medicine by its ability to cure infectious bacterial diseases. It began the era of antibiotics. 3. Electricity/Light Bulb- Although we can credit many inventors with contributions to the concept of electricity many would agree Thomas Edison was able to harness those ideas into a practical invention, the light bulb. Edison developed a lighting system which removed our dependence on natural light and allowed us to be productive any time of day. With the invention of artificial light, it allowed people to, as Donna Summer would say, "to enjoy the nightlife." So, let's put on your thinking caps on and add some more inventions.
