there is no most important. Every innovation is special to anybody depending on how they need it. Also, each innovation complement the other, e.g. No internet without electricity

You ask me this any time,and I will always tell you the internet and the AK-47(infact the whole AK rifle range). For real. Take a look at conflicts these days and these two things will always pop up. You take on your opponent on the cyper space(propaganda e.t.c.) and then you go finish it on the streets with them AKs. Even BH knows this. Ain't satisfied,then look up Syria.

Fire and agriculture.

Fire because it permitted the storage of hunted meat and freed early man for other tasks. It destroyed germs inherent in wild food and protected his health. It increased the range of food available to him by decontaminating meat and plants and releasing bound complex carbohydrates. It also helped protect him from wild animals and created a communal gathering point for the family and tribe.

Agriculture gave rise to science technology and civilization. Conquering the land and animals made large populations possible beccause it was feasible for the first time in history to feed more than a few hundred people at a time. This led to the rise of cities, armies, explorers and kingdoms. The need to account for the crops, document and understand the seasons gave birth to writing.

Without fire and agriculture, modern man and his civilization would not exist. They are the basis of everything else

Someone has just pointed out that Fire is not an innovation. Replace it with gunpowder

That has to be electricity....the world took a second turn the moment whites started to creat a manmade sun


Every other thing runs on electricity. The full potentials of electricity is yet to be harnessed.


But then we now have solar, i think solar will make electricity absolete real soon, planes and aircraft word run on solar energy...

Electricity is the most influential innovation on human.. but for the second I think is computer..

FIRE is the best and will remain so. Man can survive without elect but can't without fire.

Discussing with a friend here, I asked "what is the two most influential invention of all time on human life to you?"
He said:"Electricity and motor vehicles"
Quite dicey to me, I'd say " Electricity and the internet"
what do you think? In your opinion what are the two most influential inventions that as influenced and changed the way we do things the most.
.

The TWO most important innovations in human history are 1. Discovery and manufacturing of Anti- Biotics. 2. Manufacturing of farm tools.

Humanity has survived and existed for thousands of years without either electricity or internet. Whilst they are very useful they are not a prerequisite for human survival.

1.Anti-Biotics has saved literary millions of lives. Without it thousands of people will be dieing every day from simple inflections and disease.

2. Farm tools (sickle and hoe) With these billions of people all over the world were able to cultivate the soil and grow plants for food on a large scale. These actually revolutionised human society and ensured humanity was no longer having to forage in the bushes and starve. It also lead to the founding concepts of commerce.
If you have looked carefully you would have noticed there are many many countries in the world that have a Sickle on there flag or coat of arms. These is because of the significance and symbolism of the farm tool sickle.

I think Money & Electricity.

Many times we forget that there was a time when the concept of money didn't exist. Someone actually taught up the idea and made money a reality.

Electricity in the other hand is the power on which literally everything works. The internet is a major revolution but it wouldn't have existed without electricity.

We are not talking of invention but innovation. Please understand the question.

Fire > without fire, humans couldn't have evolved, The importance of fire is to cook, to fight against cold, to produce heat energy....probably first discovery of history BC.....fire is needed to produce a lot of things....

Money..... important innovation that contributed to the development of a strong human civilisation ...........using money to help the ease of commerce and exchanging of goods................... replacing the barter system.


wheel is a circular component that to rotate on an axle bearing ....one of the great achievements of human society.. ake a look around, and you will see wheels everywhere....tyres..... everyday machinery....wheeled carts from olden days to move around.....cars , bicycles,...airplanes...generators........in watches......wheels can get you from place to place....invention of the wheel has also been important for technology

You are very correct, Electricity is the fore most, but Computer takes second, you can't log on to the internet without a PC, these two inventions controls and makes the rest or some of the other inventions were created to henhance the two. grin

This question always comes to my mind:
My take:
1. Ladder: it amazes me how a person gets to d highest point by taking a step at a time

2. Money: it determines d whole essence of life. Without it guess we will all be d same
