I think the greatest invention will be electricity... without electricity, there will not be light bulbs, not much technology and we would not be able to communicate or discuss in myLot now :p

Thats a good question. I agree with electricity!. But, I would say that Art (music, paintings, etc) is the greatest invention ever. We could live without music? Or how would it be a world without art? Or just design, architecture, etc??? .

There is a place in Africa where art never existed until the white man asked. There they had sculptures and people of today would call it art but in their native/local language there is no term as art.

I think the term doesn't really matter, what matters most is the meaning of art itself :D

The greatest invention would be the toilet. You can't beat that.

In places of India and Southeast Asia there are still a big population without toilets so they defecate outside. I saw it on Vanguard.

Yes. I think that is true. The invention of toilet and sewerage system does help a lot:p It really is a convenience that we have toilet, just imagine you go to a shopping complex with toilet... :D

I think that you would have to be correct, it is a very nice invention because we can live more comfortably, not only that but we can make money online which helps us to live more comfortably. I also think that the invention of the telephone is nice, though I wish people would send letters more often as well. There are a lot of things from the past I wish we could grasp again, I don't think we should take electricity for granted.

I think wheel was the greatest all time invention. Only after man invented wheel he was able to develop fasted mode of travel.

You are right in certain ways. Without wheel, it could take much more time to travel and with the invention of wheels, only people become more creative into designing other transports like cars, trains and even plane. Therefore, wheel is really the niche for the invention of transportation.
