danot Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Why penicillin, I'm allergic towards it. The 3 above I could agree with, the wheel will always be top invention. I'm not sure about the aeroplane being second, I would have said the boat/ship was more important than the plane for obvious historical/modern reasons. I'd have thought power generators would have been in the top 3 too. And I suffer from motion sickness:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 But surely the discovery of penicillin(which is placed only 7th) ought to be the greatest of all inventions/discoveries. http://bridgesandtangents.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/100-greatest-inventions-of-all-time/ Nah, it's been pretty useful, but thanks to overprescription the days of traditional antbiotics are limited.
