our world is practically full of inventions. ne and old, it doesntmatter. they are all useful in our world and in our daily lives. for me, the most important invention ever made was from my idol inventor, thomas edison.
he was known to have failed in his inventions for a million times, but, he also got right equivalent to a million times due to his invention which is called: the fluorescent bulb.
without him having invented it, we would all have been using candles or lamps till now. sheesh, i couldnt imagine that. we would be more prone to fire if we still used candles as our primary source of light in the night.
so what about you? what do you think is the greatest invention ever made?

Besides the obvious, electricity, phones ect. ... I think that the best invention is tweezers. I use them for various things throughout the day.

Plucking unwanted hairs definitely. Also for getting slivers out. Picking up tiny stuff ect. It is weird, but whenever I need to do something weird, I go for the tweezers.

I think the greatest invention are the solar panels. I really want to have solar panels here at our house so that we won't recieve electric bills every month.

That is a very difficult question. There have been so may important inventions. Automobiles, computers, television...etc... Nevertheless, In my opinion the telephone was the best ever invention. Look where it is today! Could people really live without their phones today?

yes, i agree with you also. telephone is a good invention by alexander graham bell. without it, people wouldnt know how to modify it into a cellphone which almost everybody is using today!
