Oh and is there one invention you wish had never been invented and why?

Well, for the worst it's a tie between high heels (very dangerous and made only for guys) or the bra.

I'll have to think about the best one.

Telephone. Can not imagine the world without it.

Central heat and air also ranks high on my list. I'm glad I don't have to depend on a woodstove or a fireplace for my basic heat. Brrrr And in the summer the A/C helps us survive those triple digit temperatures.

Ok, not sure which is best of the best. Penicillin (and all antibiotics) or plastic.

Without antibiotics, I wonder if we would still be in the drak ages from being decimated by bacterial diseases.

Platsics--they are in every part of our world, and make up a portion of most every other invention--like the phone.

Lance, I like your picks for worst. High heels especially.

Lance, I like both of your picks! I stopped wearing high heels when i hurt my back and will never ever wear them again. And rarely wear a bra since I'm home most of the time anyway. LOL

Well...originally it was a discovery or concept and not an invention...but: Electricity!!!

Think of life without electricity and all the inventions that are based on its usage.

No electricity and NO:

Phones
TVs
Computers
Telephones
Telegraphs
Radios
CD Players
Phonographs
Movies
DVD Players
Lighting
Air Conditioners
Door Bells
Heaters
Refrigerators
Etc.

Wow you want to talk about a turning point...ELECTRICITY!!!

This week I am particularly greatful for the development of anestetics and painkillers.tooth with electricity a close second. Heavens - nothing at my house would work. I experienced those "dark ages" in winter for 36 hours twice.
As for worst - I am definitely in the Lance/Twinkie camp.

Best = The remote control and caller ID.
Worst = The big gas guzzling vehicles.

One of the best devices ever invented is the modern toilet. Think about it - everybody needs it every day.

I think best invention of all time is the Printing Press

2nd best - Silicon chips


Worst invention - Panty hose, I still can't believe women spend a billion $ a year on this - why? What the heck is the POINT? (and no I don't wear panty hose, except to a wedding...lol - if you don't like my legs, that's your problem not mine - :)

There are so many wonderful things we enjoy that are so much a part of our daily lives we sometimes take them for granted. I agree that plastic is one of the best inventions ever, and Advantage is definitely a big plus in my house! Here's a couple of things I appreciate:
#1. the wheel
#2. the pacifier
Editing to add the one thing I wish was never invented: tobacco products

I would have to say electricity and plastic for the best. Worst is still high heels and the bra.
