Don't know about the two but the important invention of Mankind is MONEY. Money revolutionised the very essence of human endeavour. It is at the heart of every other invention. With its major qualities of store of value, unit of account and medium of exchange, it moved man from a subsistent hunter-gatherer to every other activity that over time gave rise to other key inventions like internet, electricity etc. |

I think it's a Mirror. Prior to the invention of the Mirror, humans couldn't know how exactly they looked like. They could see themselves partially through mediums like water, polished metal stones etc. Isn't it astonishing we can now see our ears? Are we supposed to? |

JeffreyJamez:The OP said "innovation" among the meaning is idea. Logic and reasoning are ideas. You should be the one to fail exam. |

badbreathcure101: @bolded You cleary don't know the difference between Solar ENERGY and Electricity. Well; Solar Energy is the ability to convert Heat to Electricity. Heat Energy is the ability to convert heat to Electricity through mechanical means Wind Energy is the ability to convert Wind/propeling/Kenetic to Electricity. Mechanical Energy is the ability to convert Chemical-Heat to Electricity through machines or mechanical means. Chemical Energy is the ability to convert chemicals or to use chemicals to produce heat for Electricity through mechanical means Sound Energy is the ability to convert Sound waves or Vibrations to Electricity through mechanical means. Light Energy is the ability to convert heat from light rays or source Electricity from light, which in most cases is from the Sun. Hydro-Electrical or Hydro Energy is the ability to convert or harness Electricity from ocean current or waves through mechanical(Turbans) means. Waste Energy is the ability to convert or harness heat or chemicals from waste through mechanical mean to produce Electricity. Note: This is more of a lame man's definition to make you or anyone to easily understand. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nothing beats this two 1. Fire, without it we will probably still be competing with lions for food. 2. Writing, without it , valuable knowledge would have been lost and pretty much every modern invention we have today(electricity, internet. etc) would not exist. 2 Likes |

lajoshua:Electricity and Steel. These are the two significant innovations which led to the development of human life from time immemorial. Other subsequent developments evolved from them. |

shumuel:i Guess you have a problem with understanding.you must be a third class student or am i Wrong Btw if you read my post well, i just said solar enger energy will soon replace electricity thereby making electricity less dependable die to cost of renewal... And btw, in 2017 you will always know a copy/paste when you see one. Stop that or better still put reference. |

badbreathcure101: kikiki Lol this is why Nigeria is backward, you don't know, still, you don't know that you don't know and you still don't want to know, SMH for you BTW i studied Elect/Elect and what i wrote came from the brain, hope you'll learn to listen and learn and stop being rude and accept your mistake, only a smart and brave man would do that. And yeah, i forgot to correct you again ! Solar energy can never replace Electricity, but could/would be the major/main source to produce Electricity. 3 Likes |

lajoshua: In order to invent the internet itself people must be able to speak, read, and write. It was not until Africans invented the art of language, writing and reading that everything else took shape. Nothing can be done without language, writing and reading. |

Definitely electricity and water. Get powerbank to power your laptop and phone over 8 hours, buy with solar panel and stay online up to 20 hours. Check out my thread here for more details : https://www.nairaland.com/2182890/buy-laptop-powerbanks-deep-cycle/11#56347214 . We also sell deep cycle batteries, inverter and solar panels. Cheers

Papa came back from house very tired. He had worked tirelessly in the office. He opened the door and saw no one in the living room. ''Where are these people?'', he said to himself. He went straight into his room, dropped his office bag and came back to the living room. He stretched his legs on the table and switched on the television. Mama was still cooking in the kitchen. Minutes later, she came out of the kitchen. She joined Papa in the living room. They exchanged short pleasantries. Mama wanted to discuss with Papa. But, she noticed that Papa was watching his favourite programme- 'The National News'. To avoid his wrath, she kept mute. She started watching the television in silence. All this while, their son had locked himself in the room. He had put on his laptop and inserted his loud headphone. He was enjoying a popular song composed by his favourite artiste. He kept nodding his head and moving the upper part of his body left to right; to show his admiration for the song. Like the son, the daughter was alone in her room. No, she wasn't totally alone. She was with her best friend in every night, her mobile phone. She was continually pressing her phone as she was sending and receiving messages on the internet. Reacting to some of the funny messages read, she laughed out loud. Few minutes later, the food was ready. Everybody came out to satisfy his/her belly. After the last spoon of the prepared food was taken, they all went back to what they were previously doing. Few hours later, light went off and everyone went to bed without speaking to eachother. . . . This is exactly what happens in many families. Technology may be one of the best-ever innovations made by men. In fact, technology has made life easier for us. Imagine if mobile phone had not been made. We would have to go through the stress of posting via the post offices. But today, with a phone call or message, we can easily and quickly communicate with our loved ones. This is only a minute case of how well technology has improved life. But, if it is not managed in the proper way, it can easily be a tool of destruction. It is capable of reducing or totally killing off the closeness that exists between family members. It creates huge distance between loved ones who are only a room apart from eachother. It slowly makes familiar relatives become ''strangers''. Many members of the same family no longer have time to discuss again. When the father and mother are silently watching the news, and the children are busy operating their phones, how will the time for conversation be created? It is indeed high time we all thought about how well we manage the time we use on technology-produced items. That phone you are always glued to will not run away from you. That laptop you are often pressing will not disapper if you stop operating it. The news you daily watch on the television are not as important as your family members. Then, why not sit down and re-schedule your time in a way that you can strengthen the bond that binds you and your relatives? Now that you still have them around, find more time to discuss with them. Electronic gadgets are non-living things that you have total dominance over. Don't allow them become dictators in your life. Technology has been invented to serve a positive purpose. Don't let it influence you negatively. Control it or else; it will control you! Well, the Voice has spoken! --as received |
