I was thinking about this today:
What is the best invention in this mellennium?
What is the best invention in this century?
What is the best invention in this decade?
Likewise, do you have a worst invention of all time?

Ill have to get back to ur questions later, b/c i dont have the slightest clue at this point...but this brings me to a quote i find pretty humorous: 100 AD a philosopher by the name Sextus Julius Frontinus said, "Inventions reached their limit long ago, and i see no hope for further development." - LoL WOW could he have been more wrong! |

| If we don't die from natural causes, technology will eventually get out of control and lead to the downfall of mankind. Just my opinion. |

| Yeah. I don't know. Eventually humans will be so altered that it won't even mean anything to be human or technology will backfire on us in some way. I guess you just have to have hope in human morality, which I don't have any hope in. Maybe we will get lucky and an asteroid will take out the world before then. |

I'm not saying it will happen in our lifetime, but eventually technology will become uncontrollable and/or deface the preciousness of humans and replace them artificial beings. |

True, with all the things we have today to allow one to be lazy,..we could all die from being non-exercising fools. Remote controls for everything is the first thing that comes to mind. And don't forget,...clap on, clap off,...the Clapper! I have never owned a Clapper though. |

how about ritalin? There must be a reason that boy is acting up so bad. Let's give him a pill. No, how about giving him a spankin'. When my sister was a single mother, she used to say that my nephew must be ADHD or whatever it is. I said send him over to me. I spanked him once long ago. I haven't had to spank him since. Whenever he is with me, he is the most well behaved young man and we have a great time. He wants to hang out with me all the time. Good thing she didn't give him pills. He was just acting like a kid. |

| [B]Ok I am going to say... the internet is the greatest invention of all time. You have almost every piece of information at your fingertips. You have the ability to watch Rick and GW going at it. I think it's hilarious that GW can argue in one thread and post in several others at the same time by the way. ha ha ha He is like the energizer bunny. What a great time we live in!! |
