    I was watching an old movie and saw the telephone and was wondering what has been the invention that jas changed the world

    There's been some beauts, planes, phones, radios, etc but I think electricity has to be close to the top and Tesla one of the genii to bring it to the masses ........ thoughts ?

    The car is another obvious one but electricity still seems dominant

    I’ve always liked the door handle, that must be one of the oldest inventions and very handy

    I just went scavenging around for something humorous to do with sewage, then I stumbled on the Bangladeshi sewerage cleaners, I couldn’t post it, I will never complain about work conditions ever again

    COVID. Vaccines are just a derivative, not the real innovation. Besides, seat belts have saved more lives.

    Even more than that, though, debt and leverage would have to rank pretty highly.
