During my high school, my teacher requested us to write her an essay which is entitled, “The Greatest Invention of the World”. She told us that to obtain high marks, we have to have a maturity to write something extraordinary. Due to the lack of maturity, I nearly flunked in that essay, although I’ve forgotten what I’ve written for that invention. Maturity is important!!
Now, in my mail box, there are 3 “10 Greatest Inventions” mails had been forwarded to my mailbox, and those 3 are just the same. I suspect they are rooted from somewhere. Those inventions are merely just plain, or whould rather say “immature”. But since I’m afraid they might by forwarded from somewhere to my mail without looking at the “copyrighted” sign, I would rather not to post it at here.
OK. But however, I’ve created my own “10 Greatest Inventions”. This time, I write it with maturity. So, don’t worry. You won’t get bored with this.
10 Greatest Inventions:
# 10: Wheel
No doubt it was regarded among the greatest inventions. It was invented 7000 years ago, and now, it has been widely used for transports and also building structures. It also helps to reduce frictions in order to move something much easier.
# 9: Telephone
Antonio Meucci, the original inventor of the telephone, althoug he isn't well known among us. No matter how, I still strongly think that telephone is one of the greatest inventions. Without telephone, without internet. Without internet, without blog. Without blog, without you straing at the computer screen now. Correct?
# 8: Light Bulb
The original inventor of
this, is actually Joseph Wilson Swan. Nope, not Thomas Alva Edison.
Joseph Swan is the inventor, while
Thomas Edison is the "perfector". God creates light in order to let us see clearly in day, and humans followed His step, thus invented light bulb in order to let us see clearly in the dark.
# 7: Paper
Just imagine the world without paper, how will the words in the Bible and the Quran be? How will people wipe their buttocks?
# 6: Wave
Nowadays, all sorts of waves are around us. From gamma ray, X-ray and to the handphone's macrowave. Doctor use X-Ray to heal cancers. We use infra-red for physioteraphy. So, why doubt when wave is one of the greatest inventions?
# 5: Drugs
"Drugs" usually mean medicines. And medicines are used for medications, which have already saved billions or trillions of life.
# 4: Electricity
From the idea of lightning, the usage of electricity has spreaded around the world. Nowadays, almost everything run by electricity. Even we can see electronic cars on the road (not Malaysia
lah, but other western countries).
# 3: Money
It's great. With money, you got the power! With money, we kick off the Barter Trading System. With money, we can buy most of the things we want. True enough, money is not everything, because credit card rules now!!!
# 2: Words/Alphabets/Characters
Something that we can use to describe. Something that we can use to express. When we are happy, do we not say, "I'm freaking happy!!"? When we are angry, do we not say, "Fark you!!"? Without words, how are we gonna express?
# 1: Condom
Surprise, but it's true. As a Malaysian, I'm proud that Malaysia is one of the largest condom producer. Just imagine without condom, how many lifes will be created and next, aborted. Just imagine, without condom, people are still masturbathing to prevent from pregnancy, and couldn't enjoy the meaning of sax. No doubt, it is the GREATEST INVENTION OF ALL! Agree?
Anyway, you readers don't need to agree what I've said. It is just my humble opinion, just to create something different.
Now, I'm able to create a "mature" "10 Greatest Inventions". I'm contented with this. If I wrote this during my high school and passed it to my teacher, I suppose I'll get a very good grade for this essay.
Since I've written this "The 10 Greatest Inventions", maybe I should publish "The 10 Worst Inventions" for the next post. But see first
lah, depends on my mood.
