Everybody keeps saying "electricity" and forgetting one major, "Penicillin". If this antibiotic wasn't innovated to treat varieties of bacteria, the smallest bacteria would have KO the population.
Also, the best is FIRE. This bad boy is still and will remain the best gift to mortal. We have to thank the cave men btw.

Ps: “Invention“ can be defined as the creation of a product or introduction of a process for the first time. “Innovation,” on the other hand, occurs if someone improves on or makes a significant contribution to an existing product, process or service.
Thank you for this quote. People forget that without the discovery of Antibiotics mankind would not have survived as a species. If your very existence is being threatened, how would you then enjoy the other good things discovered. As for me, after antibiotics and indeed other medical breakthroughs, writing is the 2nd most important feat by mankind. My people without the written language, we would not have been able to progress at all.

Logic and reasoning.
logic and reasoning are neither invention nor innovation, rather they are the tools applied to achieve both.

BRO, I SALUTE O.
I wish to study that course. Please, can you enlighten me more about it. I also wish to know the difference btw comp engineer and elect/elect, can studying it made me to know abt programming?


Programming Language is under Computer science, but the good news is that you can always study such ICT courses anywhere, and also combine it with any course in the institution.

Com/Eng is all about studying on how to operate and repair a computer system and other Personal Computers(PCs) e.g phone & laptops, Pads e.t.c

while Elect/Elect is very wide, it's a bombination of Electrical Engr and Electronics Engr,, Electrical Engr is all about Power Generation & supply study, in which you would learn how Electricity is being generated and distributed, you'll also learn how to wire a house and connect to the service pole e.t.c you would also have to later chose between Power or Machine but thankfully it's now bombined as one,,, Electronic teaches you how to build and repair Electrical devices e.g TV, Radio, DVD, Fridge, Fan, A/C, DC/Car Battery, e.t.c you can even be taught how to build and repair PCs they are all under Electronics, you'll have to learn alot under Electronics it's a course on its own and very vast,, now under Electronic you'll have to chose between Communications, Physics & computations, Electronic, e.t.c, it's under communication you would learn Telecommunications and Transmission, Satalite e.t.c if you chose Communication you can work for telecomunication companies(MTN, Google, Dstv) or TV/Radio stations, but you'll have to climb Mass o grin , Physics and computation and Electronic; you can work for companies like Apple.inc, Tecno, Samsung, LG, e.t.c because you'll be taught more on Hybrid, Super computers, Phone technology e.t.c it all depend on your school and Lectura.

Elect/Elect is tough, more than Comp/engr because as of today you will also study some part of Comp/Engr in Elect/elect.

Hope this help in your decision grin

In my own opinion, money is not an invention. It arises as a result of neccessity. If we said, 'money is an invention, then trade by barter is an invention.'
You mixed em up.

Trade by barter arose out of necessity.

Money as an instrument of exchange was and is still an artificial invention. It's general acceptability that keeps money going. Other than that, it's just a fickle piece of paper.
