50 Innovations: Including Fire

psyko514 · 05-02-2004, 10:53 PM

that's a pretty tough question.

you could say something like "computers" but what about everything that needed to be invented for a computer to work?

bcooter · 05-02-2004, 10:53 PM

It is the internet. For the same reason the printing press was the most important invention of the last millenium. Information could be spread throughout the country in a matter of weeks, which was astonishing at the time.

and now the internet takes the place of print. we can see pictures of the other side of the world seconds after they are taken. We no longer hear about news that happened, we watch it happen.

the internet IS the most important invention of our time (also computers because we need them to connect to the internet)

Discovery is not the same as inventing. You can use information found in discovery to invent, and you can discover new information from inventions. But the act of discovering and the act of inventing are different. I thought this was about the best 'Inventions'

The alphabet is a sytem. Meaningful and intended patterns can be organized to create non-random systems. Cuniforms and hieroglyphics are examples of this. The system was invented.
