The worlds greatest invention
Submitted by Sunburntfeet on Sun, 2013-11-17 21:23
Want to know people's thoughts on the best inventions ever! Obviously the internal combustion engine tops the list, but more basic things. Blu tack, cable ties, things that are so simple, yet so brilliant we take them for granted. Interested to see what comes up

best invention
Penicillin was more of a discovery more than an invention ,Alaxander Flemming discovered it by accident in a used petrie dish that was growing mold , which turned out to be great antibiotic , for me I would say the best is the internal combustion engine closely followed by the old fly swatter witch you don't seem to be able to get these days

Beer is a good one. Some believe beer was the factor that created modern man. When agricultural groups started making beer hunter gatherers joined those groups.

methods of sterilization for human beings
in my opinion there are some people in society who should not be allowed to reproduce, for the benefit of others who are civilized

Crap Paper.. Comes to mind as best invention ;-)
The wheel maybe another close contender??
Fridge, lights, internet, BOATS, hooks. Are so many.
I've spent half my life fishing.. The other half I have wasted..

The wheel
and Paper.
Try pulling your boat without such a basic thing as a wheel.
Edit: And Antibiotics in general, Penicillin only solves a few problems, all off them solves heaps. TB killed almost half off people before Antibiotics, let alone everything else.

Planes and the Internet
Surely most aircraft must be up there. For a few reasons:
1) Can fly hundreds of people anywhere in the world in a matter of hours for either holidays, business or for medical help
2) A helicopter can hover motionless above someone stranded in otherwise unreachable locations eg. at the bottom of a cliff or out at sea in big swells
3) Can help firefighters dump huge amounts of water on fires that trucks and other ground crew are unable to reach
And so many more reasons.
Also the internet has to be up there for countless reasons

Tough question though.

PLUGGERS!!!
20mm of soft foam between the ground and the bottom of your foot. best thing ever! second best invention would have to be bread clips AKA the things you use to fix your pluggers when you get a blow out.
