@Anand Sunder Exactly. European scientists and inventors couldn't invent anything without the help of Arabs. Arabs were the ones who first invented everything, and made it simple for the Europeans to do what they want to do. However, the European scientists get the most attention and credit. This, fortunately, is "uno-reverse carding", since all immigrants who go to Europe and the US are the ones who founded companies such as Google, were CEO's of companies such as Microsoft, and would represent the majority of employees. They would boost westerner-economies. PS I'm Arab. :)

I want the whole world to have electricity, plumbing, medicine and refrigeration. It's why I am so blessed and don't complain about not having stuff. I want to live to be 120 years old, and I turn 31 in August. Let's keep advancing medicine, science and technology to live longer and better. I am also lucky to be in the United States with this stuff available for everyone. Johann Gutenberg is considered the most influential person of the second millennium according to biography of the millennium by A&E. The internet is definitely a wonderful invention too.

Guttenberg did NOT "popularize" printing, he invented the moving types HIMSELF. It is a very spread misinformation that Guttenberg just used some "chinese" invention. In China they used woodcut technology but woodcut was invented in several places including on Europe. John Guttenberg did not know anything about chinese printing and woodcut was widely used in Europe even before Guttenberg (to produce the playing cards) . Guttenberg was an German engineer and souvenire businessman who was working on production similar one type things in large numbers. His business partners knew that book business was a growing market and suggested him to work out method how to produce huge amount of books with cheap costs. And Guttenberg engineered the method.

The categorizing of inventions, or how otherwise to organize them, can be complex. Understanding that, if we go by individual specific inventions (cotton gin is a rare example on this), hands down I think the STEAM engine is the penultimate invention. The fallout from this single invention is unbelievable. Everything drastically changed after harnessing the power of steam. Other engines were really just gravy, minor tweaks comparatively.

***** I agree, after the nomadic hunter , gatherer life was turned into an argicultural society the game changed. Hunters were still employed and badly needed, but were now called soldiers.

@ruzphi 10 лет назад

orac229 Good point, but the rules for speech although evolved, were actually laid down in each language by someone. Look at the Kalahari Pygmies, they have grunts and clicking noises.

Agriculture? You left out agriculture? None of the inventions you mentioned above would have been possible without agriculture. Without the invention of farming there would be... No permanent settlements (

@InvisiMan2006 10 лет назад

If you want to get technical, the spear would have been a more significant invention.

@nadogi 10 лет назад

***** There's nothing to indicate that agriculture was "bound" to be discovered. Plenty societies never developed it on their own.

@nadogi 10 лет назад

InvisiMan2006 You could argue that. However, I'd say unlike the spear, the examples I gave have remained an important part of civilization up until the present day. Modern societies still rely heavily on farming, matallurgy and writing in order to function on a day to day basis. Spears and arrows have become pretty obsolete.

I don't think electricity really counts as an invention as it does a discovery.

@trainman666 10 лет назад

well that may be so, but electricity is a natural element. The invention was a device to harness it, not electricity itself.

1. Fire - Cooked food allows us to eat required calories in a shorted time. 2. Irrigated agriculture - people could produce far more food which lead to a population boom. Extra people meant specialisation 3. Wheel 4. Domesticated animals - food, leather, transport, heavy agricultural work 5. Metallurgy - copper, tin, iron for tools and weapons, gold and silver for currency.

@JuniorBlitz 8 лет назад

Fire is not even an invention, it's just a type of nature. Animals were also nature, people didn't create them.

@roostewrum 8 лет назад

***** The means to generate a fire at will was an invention. Cooking food was a game changed that came about due to the invention of a means to create fire.

There are some inventions that are even more important than that. 1) steel, 2) ship, 3) transistor, 4) rocket propulsion, 5) synthetic polymers and injection molding. honorable mentions : vacuum cleaner, wishing machine, shelves (I personally think shelves are just after the wheel in terms of inventions impact).
