Hello Nairalanders,

From the wheel to electricity, airplanes to the internet, and now AI, humans have been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Some innovations have completely changed how we live, work, and even think.

For me, “the smartphone, because it puts the whole world in my pocket”.

Now I’m curious about you—

Which human innovation (past or present) has blown your mind the most?

Why does it stand out to you?

The Bible.

It amazes me that humans can write such an enduring piece of software for human beings.

Omo i no go lie my own na Vibrator

Any manchy way him kele dey use am i sorry for am....after 90mins, na for 5mins additional time she go substitute guy man in

Blockchain technology, it's truly amazing. I just can't explain

Flying as to be the most ingenious human invention of all time man as since time immemorial try to mimic birds and insects and has been fascinated with the ability to fly.
Second is the Atomic bomb opening the field of Qutum physics,
Other notably invention is the transistors and wireless communications radio.

There's no human innovation greater than flying. I agree with you.

Fire and electricity...I think that's the most useful things mankind has ever come up with..

It's a bad ass programming.

For me, it's electricity.

Everything civilization is built on electricity. If you wld notice, industrialization and Many modern innovation came almost immediately electricity was discovered.

The Computer

The Computers and Servers because it's like a repository of information spanning generations.
For instance, Servers can operate without direct human interaction.

I feel like computers are older than most humans alive. They are unique

The concept of Combustion

It's currently AI, specifically ChatGPT and Googles Gemini , especially when using their Audio Mode it's fantastically unbelievable.

electric bulb

The AI.

I just learned it thinks 400x faster than humans. Also how vast they are in almost all field of knowledge in seconds response. Makes me wonder what the future entails

Hmmm flying, computers, electricity and that AI (craziest of all), I want my kids one or more to bring rare innovation to this world too....

✈️ Flying... Electriciry... Making call...

African witchcraft.

The bible you know today is incomplete. It was revised around the 1600’s. The oldest bible, Ethiopian bible, has been compiled together since 1 A.D, and contains an addition of over 20 books, which the white man removed so africans won’t know it’s contents.

Example of the propaganda is “Curse of Ham” hence the black raced is cursed? There is nothing called Curse of Ham rather, it’s the Curse of Cannan (check todays bible for this part). The Ham himself had 4 sons: Cush, Mizraim, Put and Cannan was the last.

Black people are called Cushites and they are a blessed race. That Canaan is Palestine today.

That’s why they came with the revised Bible as a tool for colonisation

Kidnappers (Politician and police).

Clock

Has got to be the mobile phone hands down.

How I can speak to someone hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from me with out any physical connectivities.

I will say Hilda Baci's jollof rice cooked with the largest pot that almost embarrassed her while weighing.

Telephone and Aircraft. Its really amazing.
Science is life

The invention of Religion....this one deep makes controlling of mass population easy

The invention of Condom... if not for that invention so many cheating men would have been dead....


Also Artificial Intelligence....

APc

How a party with certificateless individuals defrauded a generation

Apc was an anthem in the south west before 2015, a region that prides itself as the most educated, sai baba chants, how they're going to fight corruption with Buhari and Emefiele ,
it was just a means by the grand puppeteer to snatch power and run away with it.

Antibiotics, if not that small cough fit send you to the great beyond even with your mobile phone

Motorbike

How something with just two tyres will stand straight on the road.

Chips for sure. Nothing else comes close.

Why do you think China can replicate every Western tech except EUVs? No be child's play.

Upgrading from vacuum tubes to transistors and being able to fit billions of transistors in a chip so small is beyond imagination.

For example Apple's A17 pro processor that's smaller than my thumb has about 16 billion transistors.

Even with an optical microscope, you won't be able to see each transistor.

ASML develops EUV machines that can make 2nm chips. This is the only Western tech China needs to catch-up or even overtake the West, that's why the West guards it like their lives depend on it. China can only produce DUVs, not EUVs.

Without chips, we won't have other advanced tech. Almost every tech is powered by chips (small CPUs). AI, self driving cars, fighter jets, your phones....
