    3. Car
    4. Telephone (cell phone included)
    5. Paper

    There are many inventions in the world today. They all pretty much make up the world and are all very important. I think the alphabet may be the most important invention of all time? In my opinion. It is the main form of communication. It makes up the words we speak and read today. Next is electricity. I wouldnt be typing right now without it.. Electricity is everywhere and is very important in our world. The car is one of the main forms of transportation! We get from place to place using the car and saves a lot of time. The telephone makes communication much easier. Paper is used everyday! Its wasted and used in many different ways. the inventions of the world are very important!

  2. 1. Dictionary
    2. refrigerators
    3.stoves
    4. pencils
    5. Calculators

    In my opinion, these are the top 5 important inventions. The dictionary because instead of not understanding a word you hear, you can easily look it up in a book that can tell you anything about the word. Pencils are a great invention because you can erase your mistakes with a pen you have to cross out. Calculators allow us to do easy math quick. Stoves help us cook faster and easier. Finally, refrigerators preserve food and keep food good for a while. Top three important ones would be stoves, refrigerator, and the dictionary.

  3. 1.Airplane
    2.Telephone
    3.Wheel
    4.Computer
    5.Printing press
    I think that the airplane is the most important of all inventions. This is because its uses are numerous and it is one of the main forms of travel today. The airplane allows us to travel over seas and continents with ease. The second most important is the telephone this is because, the telephone allows us to communicate affectively with people no matter where they are. Lastly, I think the third most important invention is the wheel. This is because without the wheel, we would not have many other inventions. This invention is important because it is the building block of inventions.

  4. 1,Electricity
    2.Car
    3.Planes
    4.Microwave
    5.Phones
    In my opinion these are the five most important inventions. Electricity is first because we would be doing many things that we are doing right now. For example, having light or automatic heat. Second is a car. It's one of the easiest transportations to use. It helps us travel to places quicker and easier, instead of walking somewhere in the rain. Planes are also imporant beacause it helps us travel to other countries and far away locatons faster. Instead of taking a boat to another country, which will take weeks to get to where you want to go, you can take a plane. Another important invention is the microwave. It's an easier and simpler way to heat up your food. And last is the phone. The phone is an easy way of communication. With out leaving your house you can easily call someone or even send a text and get a response within minutes. These are my top five invention.

  5. 1.Computers
    2.Internet
    3.Plumbing
    4.Cars
    5.Phones

    Computers are number one on my top inventions. This is used In almost every field of work. If you’re an IT or even a doctor you’ll need be using a computer. This is also used in the army and government and first was made to be used only by them seeing as it made it easier to get complicated tasks done. The internet is second on my list because it can be used to easily access and share work with friends and businesses. It had also made it possible for social networking. Facebook is currently one of the most popular sites right now, it is used to keep in touch with friends and people faraway or even close. The creation of the internet was also a step up in gaming. When Neverwinter Nights came out not many were into it. But this was a big step forward in that many games now started adding an online feature. The next game to have this was Doom 95 which was one of the most sold games in history. My third invention in my top 5 would have to be plumbing. Plumbing was one the most useful inventions it stopped diseases from spreading and it also made the environment a lot cleaner.

  6. 1 computers
    2 glasses
    3 electricity
    4 car
    5 telephone (cellphone too)
    In my opinion the most important invention of all time was the computer. Most of our lives today depend heavily on computers. Whether your a little kid or an adult your life is basically run by computers. As an adult the things that stress them the most are managed by a computer; for example taxes. The second most important invention is the glasses. Can you imagine a life where people couldn't see? Imagine this, your walking down the street then bam someone walks into you and said "sorry I didn't see you there." This would happen more times than not because people wouldn't be able to see.

  7. 1) Shoes
    2) Cell phone
    3) Shower
    4) Bed
    5) Door
    In my opinion the shoes was the most important invention of all time. All of us would be stepping on rocks & mud. It's not pleasant to feel that on your feet. Some people do walk without shoes, but to me its the most important invention. The second is the cell phone. If someone were to be in a bad situation, the cell phone would be their only resource. The shower was the other one. It's nice to a least wash of a little bad smells. The next is the bed. I cant imagine life without beds. I don't think I would be able to sleep without a bed. The next is the door. Imagine having a house without doors. If it snows or if it's windy, there's no way to protect the people living in there. Well there's windows, but they're not as strong.

  8. 1. Language
    2. Immunization / Antibiotics
    3. Modern Plumbing
    4. Internet
    5. Personal Computer

    The invention of language has brought the world to where it is today. Without it humans wouldn't be able to communicate with one another. Without Immunization / Antibiotics people would have been killed with a small virus of the flu. Today there are not many cases in which a person has died because of the flu. Antibiotics help keep a virus from spreading and growing at a fast speed. Without Modern plumbing, how do you believe the world look like today. You would not be able to go to the bathroom inside your house and flush it away, but in a hole in your backyard. Without modern plumbing, taking a shower would be impossible, so you would take a bath by boiling water from a nearby water source.

  9. 1.medicine
    2.ambulance
    3.traffic light
    4.airbags
    5.sign language
    The most important invention is medication. Without any medication there would be more casualties in the world.The next most important invention is the ambulance. If a pateint is in need of medical attention on the way to the hspital, the ambulance is able to provid that attention needed. The third important is the traffic light. The traffic light provids a form of order on the roads while people drive. Air bags are a great invention due to reckless driving. If you get into a car accident the airbag prevents you from getting injured. The last important invention is sign language. Sign language is important because it allows people with the ability to hear, communicate with those who don't have that ability to hear.

  10. 1. Computer/Internet
    2. Electricity
    3. Medicine
    4. Car
    5. Cell Phones
    These are the top 5 things that I believe are the most important inventions. Number one is definitely the computer, which would include the internet and laptops. Google is our best friend,now on days if there is anything we are unsure about we just use Google and that would be impossible without a computer or the internet. The second thing is electricity, without electricity everyday tasks would be impossible. Such as taking a shower, doing homework or watching TV. The third thing is medicine, we all get sick. Sometimes its not serious but other times it is very serious. With the help of medicine we heal and get better without it we could die. The fourth most important invention is the car. Well actually any type of transportation is very important. Even when we go somewhere close we don't walk we drive, so cars are very important. Last but not least cell phones. Everyone has a cell phone, even little third graders. But it is good, an emergency doesn't give a warning before happening. Something bad can happen at any time and its good to have a cell phone to get in touch with family as soon as possible, which would be impossible without cell phones.

  11. 1.Language
    2.Wheel
    3.Internet
    4.Airplane
    5.Car

    I believe that the internet is one of the most important things ever invented. It provides us with a ton of information in a short amount of time. It also can provide communication and much more. Although it may not seem like much, the wheel is very important. Almost every transportation system runs on wheels. What would we do without wheels. It's such a simple object but it is very useful. I think that language is the most important thing ever invented. It gives us a way to communicate. It also distinguishes us by our nationality. More importantly, we can talk to each other and understand. If we don'e understand each other, this world would come to chaos.

  12. 1. Computer
    2. Radio
    3. Light-bulb
    4. Refrigeration
    5. Trains
    The computer opened up the world to all kinds of data and information from around the world, and nearly everyone relies on them in their daily lives. With the radio, information could be transmitted and people could stay informed. The light-bulb was the staring point for everything electronic, and people could rely on artificial lights instead of just candles.

    To me the most important invention is the wheel. If it wasn't for the wheel we would have to transport goods on the back of animals. With out the wheelthere would be no cars to transport us. The car is also an important invention because they are used to transport medication to critally ill people. The internet is very important because with out it information woukd be harder to find.

  14. 1. Antibiotics
    2. Integrated Chips
    3. Electricity
    4. Telephone
    5. Lightbulb

    I believe that the most important invention of all time is the invention of antibiotics. Without antibiotics, we would go back to the time in which people would die of the flu. Integrated chips are the things that make it posible for computers, television, mp3 players, and cell phones to be less than 50 pounds. Without this invention computers would still be the size of an averrage bedroom. Electricity is also a very important invention because it made it posible for all the other inventions.

  15. 1: light bulb
    2: heater/ air conditioner
    3: computer
    4: telephone
    5: cameras

    These are the 5 most important inventions of all time to me. Light bulbs are an important invention because without people would be doing my work with a candle in my living room that can easily blow out. Light bulbs are most convenient for several hundred reasons. Heaters and air conditioners go hand in hand. In a place like New Jersey, people never know what the season’s temperature will bring, so heaters and air conditioners help most the elderly and young kids in extreme climates. Without a doubt, computers are one of the most important inventions in the world. If computers wouldn’t have been invented, people would have a lack of education (it wouldn't be the same) and communication would also be ddifferent. Telephones mean everything in a world so modern like today’s. We are able to talk with our relatives in other states, to relatives in other countries. Cameras to most people are just electronics that capture actions of people. For me, a camera is very important. A camera captures outstanding memories that last a lifetime and are worth a thousand words.

  17. 1. Medicine
    2. Electricity
    3. Telephone
    4. Railroad
    5. Airplane

    In my opinion, these are the top 5 inventions of all time though some might have been discovered. Medicine is the most important because then most people today then would be really sick and people would live short lives if we didn’t have a cure for the diseases. Second, electricity because without it, factories, offices, TV, computers, etc. would not be able to work. Most importantly, we would not be able to do anything after dark. Third, telephone because information or news became much more easier to pass or spread. Fourth, the invention of railroads because transportation became much more easier and trading. Finally, the invention of airplane because without it, we would have to go overseas by ships which would take days or months.
