Some inventions are now so much part of our lives that we could not even imagine living without them. The Telegraph has published a TOP 10 inventions that changed the world established by scientists from the British Science Association. About.com has also published a list on the same topic but completely different. Paradoxically, the scientists' list focuses much more on inventions that changed our daily lives (electronic money, trainers, and even social networking ...), while About.com focuses on inventions that changed the society ( automobile, steam engine,...).
At Rankmill we have wondered what would be the invention that changed the world we cannot live without. Here is our list.
Our #1 is Penicilline : we realised that without it most of us would have had already died! In fact we had all diseases which are considered totally benigned today, and which could be mortal before the invention of penicilline. To be dead or alive, that's a difference! So no question for the first. And thank you very much, mister Fleming!
And you? What is your TOP 10 inventions that changed the world? Penicilline too, or computers, the Internet, television, camera, electronic money, steam engine, automobile, trainers, Tv dinners or something else?
