War-Junkie Posted September 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2006 what do you think the greatest human invention is and i mean anything. from the bigest thing to the the smallest thing. i think one of the greatest inventions would be the electric guitar. because without it what would we have listened to in the 60s-till now? i also thing the airplane is a great invention. if it wasent for that then we wouldent be as far advanced as we are now. and i did a search about this and i couldent see anything on this topic so sorry if there is another topic like this.

John Q Conundrum Posted September 25, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think the greatest invention is the watchamacallit, because it can do anything! Seriously, it's the light bulb. Just think: how many items have some kind of light bulb and what would life be like without them? (dark) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ai_guardian Posted September 26, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) The wheel/roller Without it airplanes would not be that great cars would not be in fact, most land-based 'mass' forms of transport would not be (of course there were horses for 1-2 occupant transport) The wheel/roller of course includes any circular moving object ie. cogs, pulleys, etc. etc. Cheers Edited September 26, 2006 by ai_guardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevaDevil Posted September 26, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The Alphabet Imagine how you would have to re-invent everything if nothing could be written down, and the person(s) having the knowledge dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamsSon Posted September 26, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The integrated circuit board. Without it computers would still be the size of a room and virtually unknown by everyday humans. Cell phones would not exist, mp3 players would not exist (I need my iPod). I seriously think this particular invention will someday overshadow even the wheel, which is the first greatest invention.

00000000000000000000000000 Posted September 26, 2006 #13 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Fire, although we didn't technically invent that so much as we discovered how to control it. Ditto goes for the wheel, which can sort of be found in nature. I'd have to say the greatest human invention was the Voltaic pile, which led to everything electrical we have today.

Yona Posted September 26, 2006 #14 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I would have to say, probaby the invention of the fork, or the spoon. Or the spork! Well actually, it would have to be tesla's Dc power. now that there is an invention. Or Henry Ford's assembly line. Or penecillin. that rocks too.

00000000000000000000000000 Posted September 26, 2006 #16 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Well actually, it would have to be tesla's Dc power. now that there is an invention. Tesla (and a few other scientists who tend to not get mentioned) invented AC. DC was invented, or at least named, by Edison. Actual DC power probably came first from the Voltaic pile.

Atheist God Posted September 28, 2006 #24 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The wheel is the greatest invention of all time. The wheel has been around for ions and is used in everything from transportation to toys. It truly has stood the test of time and will always be around.

ai_guardian Posted September 28, 2006 #25 Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) GanjaGuru, you missed out on a funny! ie. "It truly has stood the test of time and will always be a ROUND" OR it really got the ball rolling or should I say boulder rolling OR it helped us MOVE ON Of course, I agree with you as my original post here would suggest Earth I realise this is probably said tongue-in-cheek but if not, how did we invent the Earth?
