The Hairy Wookie
BBC radio four has been running a small poll in conjunction with this years Reith Lectures. As the lectures have been about technology and its impact on the world the poll was about what the public thought was the most important invention in the past two hundred years. There were several put forward and one was eventually selected. These included, radio, communication satellites, nuclear power, but strangely enough not TV. The winner was the bicycle. I wonder what your views on the most important invention for the past two hundred years is and your reasosn why? I would like a poll, but the chioces are vast and probably too large to do a poll for.
As for me I would go for the humble lightbulb. It gives us light at the flick of a switch and the ability to carry on working or posting into the night. Otherwise we would still be stuck with gas lighting, which smell and is a little bit more dangerous than the lightbulb. It has turned the human race into a 24 hour people.
