I laughed out loud that the screw is 99 and the electric chair is in the 80s.

That's about as far as I got. Ridiculous list made by nerds.

 

Mine won't have MP3 one spot above anesthesia.

 

Man that list was good for a laugh.

Prozac apparently is more important than the telephone, hand guns, airplanes, Irrigation, and the internal combustion engine to name a few.

Mind blown

 

I quit at 80 something.

The top 100 singers of all time is something one could differ on as a matter of opinions.

This list....yikes.

 

My thought as well.

Replace prozac with coffee cup/beer can holder. Many of inventions on the list are worthless without a coffee cup holder

 

Seems to have been compiled by youngsters who never knew life before many of these technologies were developed.

My grandmother was born in 1903 and lived 97 years.

In the 80's I asked her what technological advancement since her birth changed her life the most.

Without hesitation she smiled and said "indoor plumbing".

Knife, compass, cartography, fishing nets, boats, railroads, internal combustion engine probably more impactful than quite a few things on that list.

 

I got as far as the screw. It's one of a handful of simple machines that changed the world. Our entire concept of tightening and loosening mechanical parts comes from it. If you take away the invention of the screw you would literally have to unmake the world as we know it.

 

I knew it was a moronic list at the screw. Read a bit more to see wtf other 90 something things could be ahead of it.

 

The electric guitar at #94 cracked me up.
They sound like whales farting in saltwater.

The steam engine invented around 1700 was a major factor in kick starting the industrialzation revolution. It greatly increased an individual's manufacturing capabilities. Then expanded to improve farming, transportation and other areas. Later improved on by the combustion engine.

 

The wheel, the internal combustion engine, the steam engine, penicillin, the television, the telephone, the airplane, fire, the modern computer, Calculus, the rifle, the dirt bike (strike that) . . .
