Whit4you | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 09:01 pm     What do YOU think is THE best invention of all time and why do you think it is? 2nd best?
Oh and is there one invention you wish had never been invented and why? |
Wargod | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 09:14 pm     1. Staple gun 2. Duct tape

Melfie1222 | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 09:24 pm     The first thing that came to mind, 1. Camera |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 09:33 pm     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. |
Willsfan | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 09:36 pm     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. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 09:49 pm     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. |
Melfie1222 | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 09:49 pm     Lance, I like your picks for worst. High heels especially. |
Twinkie | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 10:03 pm     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 |
Mosessupposes | Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 11:49 pm     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!!! |
Djgirl5235 | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 08:15 am     For me - definitely the slow cooker!!! That thing's a godsend for me!!! Worst - definitely high heels - good choice!!! |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 08:16 am     Printing press = best. Pagers = worst. |
Pamy | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 08:25 am     Advantage for cats/dogs. I haven't seen a flea in 8 years!! |
Lumbele | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 11:41 am     This week I am particularly greatful for the development of anestetics and painkillers. 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. |
Kady | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 03:17 pm     Best = The remote control and caller ID. Worst = The big gas guzzling vehicles. |
Rig | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 03:24 pm     One of the best devices ever invented is the modern toilet. Think about it - everybody needs it every day. |
Suitsmefine | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 03:42 pm     THE HYSTERECTOMY!!!!! |
Wargod | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 04:50 pm     Don't rub it in, Suits.....I've been begging for one for the past couple years, and they won't do it just because you ask....sigh! |
Whit4you | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 05:18 pm     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 - |
Pamy | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 07:08 pm     VASECTOMY!!!! (SP?) Much better than the hysterectomy, cuz HE has to get it done! |
Whit4you | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 07:17 pm     Might be a good way to get your aggressions out eh..give yer SO a vasectomy lol |
Whoami | Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 12:28 am     Let me think about best. But I have a good worst....Automated phone receptionist......"if you want be annoyed, press one...if you want to be annoyed and have no viable choice for the reason you called, press two, if you want to wait till the end of this recording to finally have the reason you called be mentioned, press 3...." |
Suitsmefine | Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 06:36 am     LOL, Pamy, Whit, And Whoami!!!! |
Urgrace | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 03:16 pm     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 |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 03:22 pm     I would have to say electricity and plastic for the best. Worst is still high heels and the bra. |
Abbynormal | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 03:31 pm     Toilet paper is pretty high on my list. |
