I was talking with some friends about the greatest discoveries or inventions, I was surprised at the diversity of opinions. My four top choices are;
1) The birth control pill -It gave women/couples the ability to control the size of their family and when they want to, could avoid pregnancy.
2) The telescope -It gave mankind the knowledge that we are not the center of the universe and it changed attitudes on religion and mankind's place on this planet.
3) The plow -This allowed farmers to farm far larger areas and more efficiently.
4) The Calculus -This mathematical tool provided a massive increase in the abilities to understand a whole host of problems, to calculate more precisely, as well as it made technology as we know it today to exist.
I would like to know some other views on this?
