The best inventions in the world
Writing: Writing is one of the most important discoveries reached by the human, and it is said that the Prophet Idris peace be upon him the first line of the pen, but there are other opinions indicate that Mesopotamia are the first to know the writing, and named their writings Cuneiform writing, Or wax, and is considered the oldest manuscript through history dating back to three thousand years BC, and then began to write and language evolve over time and successive peoples.
the clock
is one of the oldest and most important inventions ever, since people of ancient times have been of great importance, measuring time by relying on the sun, stars and shadows, but sometimes it was difficult, because of weather conditions or because of darkness and because time was important was necessary The invention of a machine that removes doubts and gives time accurately, is likely to be the first to use the clock are the Egyptians, where they divided today into two parts each of twelve hours, and then developed hours from the hour of the sun, to the hourglass and then the candle hour, Which was built in 3500 years BC, then evolved clocks are being invented at Albkhurih and then the mechanical clock, then wristwatch atomic clock with less than the error rate of up to a few seconds in every thousand years.
Electricity: one of the most important inventions in our time, thanks to the discovery of the world to Thomas Edison, and we can not imagine the world without electricity, as most of the devices in homes, workplaces and companies on electricity, and is very important in Industry sector.
The phone is a device that moves the sound from place to place via the speaker and microphone, thanks to the discovery of the phone to Graham Bell, then developed phones from fixed phones to mobile phones, and then continued to develop phones until we developed the smart phones that touch technology on Screen, which includes many applications and social media.
One from ten ,
I have to go with this:

That's penicillin, the first really effective antibiotic. Without antibiotics many millions of people who are alive today would not be. Antibiotics keep you from dying because you scraped your arm on q rock and it got infected. They make surgery and childbirth far more survivable events. Antibiotics keep epidemics in check. They keep livestock free of dangerous disease.
Antibiotics have made it possible to live the way we do today in that they make it possible for a lot more people to live.
While most of the stuff important to inventions have been shared, & not much to share in specific.
Still I guess the one most important factor to this accelerated pace of human kind evolution is knowledge, & & behind this remain the acceptance of knowledgeable evidence by the ages-dependent cultural barriers.
So the "human evolution of mind" is one linchpin behind the rapid course of mankind. These alternatively result in technologies in industry, economy, warfare & all aspects of life.
Tho theme is broad, but of utmost importance. Thanks for sharing this.

Internet is among the most impactful invention of the modern times that has revolutionized all aspects of contemporary human existence. Thomas Friedman eloquently makes this argument in his best seller “The World is Flat”.
Major discovery of past 100 years
https://everwideningcircles.com/2016/08/15/discoveries-of-the-past-century/
Atom Bomb, The Internet, Airplane, most of the Medical equipment, and Disposable diapers.
A wonderful question and answers. There are many important inventions in life in a variety of scientific fields, making it difficult to identify the most prominent ones and identify ten of them.
I think more than 10 inventions have changed the modern world to live better.
Of course, many inventions have changed the world! I'm thrilled by the giant inroads in medicine by the various inventions highlighted by my friend Prof. Nihada.
The internet, camera, telescope, aeroplane, potters wheel, printing technologies, mobile technologies and others are exceptional inventions that have changed our world!
I personally don't want to talk about weapons of mass destruction that have plagued our world.
Catia Cillóniz very thought provoking post; thanks for starting this dialogue.
Homo sapiens have been surviving this planet for quite sometime now. The only thing allowed them to bypass other species and to take over the planet in a mushroom like manner to create one of the most horrendous war machines and one of the most scientific piece of technology like new age communication/internet only needed one thing i.e., is human evolution of mind with IQ. So i feel this was one great leap in our evolutionary history, which has to all aforementioned development.
Humans minus brain development = No planetary change

The fact that Electricity is a source of power and energy. Think of the diverse ways in which it can be produced (solar radiation, windmills, hydroelectric generators - which enjoy obvious advantages over burning fuel !, nuclear power stations) ... and look at all the different types of energy which can be produced from it - (heat, light, sound, mechanical/moving devices, chemical [e.g. electroplating] - together with various applications in electronics and in medicine)... Plus the fact that electricity can easily be stored for future use.
10 Inventions That Changed the World
1 - The Wheel
The wheel is often regarded as the invention that paved the way for all other innovations created throughout history. It is so old that it is not known when it was first created or who invented it. However, the oldest wheel found on the planet is estimated to be more than 5 thousand years old. The wheel was at first used for more efficient and faster transportation of goods. Even now, the wheel is one of the main things new technological inventions depend on.
2 – The Compass
The compass was used since the 14th century, and is still represents the navigation system for some explorers, even though navigation has never been easier with the satellite signals coming from space straight to your phone. Remember that without the compass many researchers would never have reached their planned destinations, and history would be totally different. This innovation was the one that ignited the Age of Discovery and also enabled interaction between previously isolated populations around the world.
3 – Printing Press
Ever since the 11th century, there were ideas of a printing press around the world. However, the person that realized these ideas in an efficient way and made it popular was Johann Gutenberg. He did so in the 1430s. He thought of several great ideas to perfect this invention, such as creating metal printing blocks, as they were proved to be much more durable then the hand-carved wooden letters that were used up until that point.
He was also notable for his advancement in ink and paper production. The printing press had an amazing impact for people all around the world, because information could be recorded and spread around the world much faster than before. It also made books far more affordable to middle class people.
4 – The Telephone
Since it was invented, the telephone has been regarded as one of the most useful things to have in your home. It simply lets us communicate with any other person in the world that also has a telephone. However, it was not always affordable for a lot of people. After Alexander Graham Bell invented this device, only few people were in the possession of it. However, after mass production cut down the price and after more people started using them, they revolutionized the world of communication. Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine a person going anywhere without a cell phone in their pocket.
5 – Steam Engine
None of the existing transportation methods that you can see around you would ever be possible if the steam engine hadn’t been invented. More importantly, you wouldn’t have supermarkets and large quantities of foods, drinks, and clothes everywhere if it wasn’t for this innovation. Prior to the steam engine, everything was made by hand. It is enough to say that it had such an impact on the human society that it sparked the Industrial Revolution. After that, large factories started opening, and the rest is history.
6 – Antibiotics
The invention of antibiotics was a huge step for medicine. It saved and is still saving countless lives by preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. Alexander Fleming is the notable for discovering penicillin during the 1920’s. He did this accidentally, but after he acknowledged what he had done, antibiotics spread enormously fast throughout the entire world. Antibiotics are still known for their ability to fight off almost every form of infection.
7 – The Automobile
During the 19th century, many people saw the vision for personal motor vehicles. However, it was not until Karl Benz’s Motorwagen in 1885 that this vision was put to life. This being the first automobile in the world did not make it affordable for everyone. So, after some time, Henry Ford decided to improve the production process, which certainly brought the price down a notch. Nowadays, some people barely walk, as they even go to the corner store with their car. This invention has changed the looks of cities around the world, as every road and street is designed to be perfect for driving a car.
8 – Electricity
If there is one thing that people can’t live without today – it is electricity. It is without a doubt one of the most important things that mark the era we live in. Just imagine a world without electricity; you wouldn’t have TV’s, computers, air conditioning, electric lights etc. That’s a world I wouldn’t want to live in.
9 – The Computer
With the advancement of electronics and semiconductors, came the computer. Most of us spend a large portion of our day in front of the computer, whether for entertainment purposes or to work and they are such complex machines that a large number of highly paid professions are based on only a few computer programs or the knowledge about just a small part of its software or hardware. Not to mention that the entertainment aspect of computers is something that all of us are familiar with.
10 – The Internet
The internet is the one thing that enabled us to be connected to the whole world, no matter where we are. The whole modern world depends on the internet, as it has the most impact on business, economy, politics, art, entertainment, communications, etc. It helps us get our hands on absolutely any type of information we need. However, some people claim that we have only begun to see what type of impact it will have on the world.
