What Is Man's Greatest Invention? by PHIPEX(m): 11:03pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
This is a question that occured to me in the course of a discussion with someone today and truely, am not sure of my own answer. I argued that Man's greatest invention is MONEY cos to the best of my understanding, it has transformed the course of human existence infact the Bible described the love of it as the root of all evil. Pls what do you think is man's greatest invention and why? |

I wouldn't consider money to be an invention in a real sense. Life would be arguably impossible without a means of exchange, and that's why some sort of money has always existed from the beginning. Anyways, the INTERNET is one heck of an 'invention' if you think of it. |

Aeroplane. I still marvel at an A380 taking off and staying up there for up to 15hours. I know people will say its physics and all that but I think it is witchcraft (white) |

Its between Religion and Science (technology). . . . Gun to the head choice and I will go with Religion. . . . It would always find a way of controlling the people irrespective. Control the mind, control the world. Religion wins!! |

For me, the greatest invention so far is electricity . The enormous advancements that have occurred in the last 200 years would never had been if not for electricity. 1 Like |

For me, man's greatest invention is ELECTRICITY! It's what has driven our world to where we know it to be now and will continue to do so till the end of time. |

jason123: WWI was shaped by religion? WW2 was shaped by religion? How many of them were caused by religion? Stop blaming religion for mans stupidity. Most of what you term "Religious Wars" are "Ethnic Wars". |

Sorry, I honestly see organised Religion as Man's Greatest evil on earth. I hold it responsible for most of the wars, man has fought. I hold it responsible from holding millions of people back from realizing their full potentials. I admit that Religion is the foundation of morality. But pure religion and true morality is not in tune in any way from organised Religion. By Organised Religion I should count from Catholic church, which I am a member of, originating from the Western Church of Emperor Constantine and most of the major Religion on earth. To me, the committed and will continue to commit the offence, Christ condemned in the Bible when he said: Woe to you Pharisees and Sadducees , I think man's Greatest invention is "Division of labour". By this I mean the principle that derives, not just our currency (money), not just our factories, but is at the very foundation of all technological inventions. Without division of labour and its inherent ability to tie individual pieces of invention to make a whole, man's great technological inventions would not have been. Call it cars, Airplanes, Internet, robotics, etc . None will be possible without the ability to interconnect different pieces of inventions to make a whole; and most importantly, none would have been possible without the ability for different people to excel in little things, and some to excel in coupling into whole. So to me, man's greatest invention is the ability to cooperate and integrate into whole, which derives from that of "Division of Labour". |

i think GUN. To produce a missile moving at such speed is just marvelous which in turn gave birth to other weapons, rockets and satellites we use for internet and other communication services. |
