Are These the Ten Most Important Inventions of All Time?
I would put “radio” a little higher on this list. A new survey commissioned by Thomas & Friends ranked the 20 most important inventions of all time. And radio just missed the Top 10 at #11. Here are the top ten inventions in order:
1. Electricity. Or technically, harnessing electricity.
2. The telephone.
3. Vaccines.
4. The lightbulb.
5. The Internet.
6. TV.
7. Computers.
8. Cars.
9. Anesthesia.
10. Airplanes.
Radio is 11th. Here’s the rest of the Top 20 that ranked lower: Steam-engine trains . . . cameras . . . the printing press . . . clocks . . . optical lenses . . . the compass . . . boats . . . helicopters . . . and tractors. (SWNS)
