wheel was one of the earliest and most important inventions.

Recent most important inventions:

- Telephone: 1875, Alexander Graham Bell
- Computers: 1936, Konrad Zuse built the first freely
programmable computer.
- Television: 1884, Paul Nipkow sent images over wires using a
rotating metal disk technology with 18 lines of resolution
- Automobile: In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle
was invented by French mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. However, it
was a steam-powered model.
- The cotton Gin: Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin on March 14,
1794. The cotton gin is a machine that separates seeds, hulls and other
unwanted materials from cotton after it has been picked.
- Camera:In 1814, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce created the first
photographic image with a camera obscura, however, the image
required eight hours of light exposure and later faded. Louis-Jacques-
Mandé Daguerre is considered the inventor of the first practical process
of photography in 1837.
- The Steam Engine:Thomas Savery was an English military
engineer and inventor who in 1698, patented the first crude steam
engine. Thomas Newcomen invented the atmospheric steam engine in
1712. James Watt improved Newcomen's design and invented what is
considered the first modern steam engine in 1765.
- The Sewing Machine: The first functional sewing machine was
invented by the French tailor, Barthelemy Thimonnier, in 1830.
- The Light Bulb:Contrary to popular belief, Thomas Alva Edison didn't "invent" the light bulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1809, Humphry Davy, an English chemist, invented the first electric light. In 1878, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan, an English physicist, was the first person to invent a practical and longer-lasting electic lightbulb (13.5 hours) with a carbon fiber filament. In 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented a carbon filament that burned for forty hours.
- Penicillin: Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Andrew Moyer patented the first method of industrial production of penicillin in 1948.

I'm allergic to penicillin, telephones, computers, and automobiles. The cotton gin makes me break out in hives, cameras steal your soul, the steam engine is a lie, the sewing machine was replaced by 5-year-olds with thimbles courtesy of Tommy Hilfigger and Wal-mart, and there actually is no lightbulb... just like there is no spoon.

I maintain my vote for the condom

MrAbstracto, you are very alert man

In the 1870s, two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both independently designed devices that could transmit speech electrically (the telephone). Both men rushed their respective designs to the patent office within hours of each other, Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone first. Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell entered into a famous legal battle over the invention of the telephone, which Bell won.

Very astute. I choose condom.

Beer.


Beer is one of the world's oldest beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 9000 BC, and is recorded in the written history of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The earliest Sumerian writings contain references to a type of beer. A prayer to the goddess Ninkasi, known as "The Hymn to Ninkasi", serves as both a prayer as well as a method of remembering the recipe for beer in a culture with few literate people.

[serious answer is serious]
Fire was the greatest discovery, hands down. Without it we wouldn't be able to cook and our evolution as a species would not have likely come to where it is today. Without fire, grains would be of very little value to us and this would've been quite detrimental to our ancestors who built the foundation of modern societies across the globe.

Further, it allowed us to populate colder areas (like Sweden :wink and so many other things.
