The Daily Steem Poll Question for the day is:
What Is the most impactful invention known to mankind?
I have to agree with all the wheel answers. It's fundamental to so many things that are important to everyday life, and that's been true for literally thousands of years.
The most impactful invention could actually be the humble old wheel. After all, without the wheel, we wouldn't even have the ball bearings used in the A/C generators we all rely on so much for the electricity we depend on.
The discovery of Alternating Current (A/C) and the associated A/C generator.
I am afraid that my answer is - money :(
Movable type
I was going to say the printing press. These two go hand in hand.
storage silo because it allowed more grain to be stored for extended periods and allowed civilization to grow...
