RE: Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Technology and Inventions)
Yay RNG! These are so much fun, I love that you put this on each week.
Hmm, most important tech, eh?
I mean, is "agriculture" a tech? Or animal domestication? I guess I would have to say that was the most important. To me, that's the starting point that allowed civilization as we know it to begin. Once a minority of the populace could support the majority's food requirements, it opened the door to all kinds of room for new ideas and technologies. The hunter-gatherer tribes could grow into city-states, with all the associated trades and professions.
RNG is the best!
You are the third (I think) person to suggest food production of some sort as the most important technology! To be honest, I had really forgotten about the impact of food production... especially when you can start to support more people than those that are directly involved in the actual production of food. Oooops, big blind spot for me there!
Add “of the modern era” to your question and you’re covered :)
I was thinking only back to the beginning of the industrial revolution at first, but then remembered things like sailing, writing, etc. and realized there was a whole “BC” list of inventions to consider as well!
If I am just thinking of the modern era, I would say refrigeration and air conditioning. Food preservation and the ability to do all that deep thinking indoors :)
Lol, maybe I'll change it now! Just to make your answer look weird!
😮 you wouldn’t dare!
