Well, the most obviously revolutionary advancement in my lifetime has been the dawn of the Internet. On the other hand, there have probably been lots of inventions in science, medicine, technology and so on which are also incredibly beneficial that I just don't know about. I don't really know what progress has been made in surgery or vaccination in the last two decades, for example, because I'm not a doctor.

The computer has been the most beneficial!

What a great tool it has been for me in study, education, fellowship and even shopping! :cloud9:

 

[One Eyed Jack]

I dunno. The superscalar microprocessor, maybe?

 

[Freethinker93]

I think the best invention would have to be the internet. And I can think of a few books, but those aren't really inventions.

 

[Lighthouse]

Would God's creations be considered inventions? Because, you see, there's this girl...

Ummm....you are sure she isn't really Joe Roberts? :think:

[Aimiel]

Well I would say the personal PC, but now I have to say: "iPhone." :thumb:

 

[Buzzword]

Given that it's been the source of my dad's livelihood since 1988, I'd have to say the personal computer.

Created a whole new set of technologies, which continue to evolve daily at an astounding rate, which results in greater information availability to people it would have been forbidden to in earlier years, i.e. the creation of the Internet.

Did you have to use an air compressor, or did she come pre-inflated? :idunno:



I must agree that the internet is the greatest all around invention of my time.

...thank God for that Al Gore. lain:
