THE GREATEST INVENTIONS THAT CHANGED THE
WORLD
The most impactful technology inventions in history are ranked.
Technology is a core component of the human experience. We have been creating
tools to help us tame the physical world since the early days of our species.
Any attempt to count down the most important technological inventions is certainly
debatable, but here are some major advancements that should probably be on any
such list (in chronological order):
1. FIRE - it can be argued that fire was discovered rather than invented. Certainly,
early humans observed incidents of fire, but it wasn't until they figured out how to
control it and produce it themselves that humans could really make use of everything
this new tool had to offer. The earliest use of fire goes back as far as two million
years ago, while a widespread way to utilize this technology has been dated to about
125,000 years ago. Fire gave us warmth, protection, and led to a host of other key
inventions and skills like cooking.
The ability to cook helped us get the nutrients to
support our expanding brains
, giving us an indisputable advantage over other
primates.
2. WHEEL - the wheel was invented by Mesopotamians around 3500 B.C., to be
used in the creation of pottery. About 300 years after that, the wheel was put on a
chariot and the rest is history. Wheels are ubiquitous in our everyday life, facilitating
our transportation and commerce.
