The Science Museum in London recently created a top 10 list of the most important objects invented in history. Here's their list:
- Steam engine
- V2 rocket engine
- Electric telegraph
- Stephenson's Rocket
- X-ray machine
- Model T Ford
- Penicillin
- Pilot ACE Computer
- DNA double helix
- Apollo 10 capsule
I thought I'd make a top 10 list of the inventions that are most important to me. Here's my list!
- Volkswagen (originally started by Adolf Hitler and Ferdinand Porsche!)
- acetominophen
- the personal computer
- the telephone (...including the cellular variety)
- movable type printing press (revolutionized the mass-production of books!)
- indoor plumbing
- World Wide Web
- plastic
- the Interstate highway system
- the piano
These are mostly off of the top of my head, and there are many more inventions for which I am
very grateful, but I thought I'd stick to a short list of 10, just so I don't bore anyone. But I'm interested to know what YOU would choose for your list of 10. Go for it!
