so if u want to combine it with mine or whatever do what u wish

I gonna have to say it's a tie between the internet and birth control.  2 totally different inventions but with equally great benefits.  Good calls, GS and IronChef.

yours was in EE, and is 3 months old

I would say the commercial application of plastics. They have completely revolutionized our manufacturing industry in a way not seen since the invention of interchangeable parts, and without them our day to day life would not be possible. I look around me right now and the majority is made up of some type of plastic, and it enables almost all other types of high technology we enjoy today.

Synthetic rubber a close second, for its roll in winning WWII, making a very useful natural substance so cheap and prolific, and its roll in birth control. Condoms are more important than the pill because of their cost and ease of use in poor and disease infested areas where they really need them

Two materials that have formed the basis of technological advancement in the past century. Without them, I don't think we would have many of the other inventions, like the microchip.

let me be more specific.  the pill.

Beat me to it!

The latex condom - still waiting for the invention of the intelligent sentient lifeform though, the one to use them and shoot everybody in the head who preaches them as evil...

couldnt have had any of that without the assembly line....and a labor force that could have sex without conception

I can never understand how that is considered an invention. The assembly line is a physical way making something. It's like calling the first queue an invention.

We got through the industrial revolution without your newfangled birth control. All the little runts are useful grease monkeys.

China, they make all kinds of neat shit.

Engine

I would have to ask what type of engine as a automotive engine we're invented in the 19th century. late 1800's

However, in 1862, the French engineer Alphonse Beau de Rochas invented the principle of the 4-step combustion engine. In this engine, a fuel-air mix is introduced in the engine and the explosion of this mixture pushes directly on the piston. There is no need for an intermediate step like boiling water. A few years later, in 1876, the German Nikolaus August Otto built the first engine based on Beau de Rochas' principle.

all good bro.

Um best invention of the 20'th century....
the NES home gaming system lol

I'll put jet

gravity.

although the saftey pin came out top the last time i saw this done.
