the microwave--stupid as this sounds-it has changes everything about the way we eat and shop and family relations. sure it is great-especially since there are so many families with both parents  working. Gone are the days of shopping for fresh produce ect..no more butcher shops-we eat more unhealthy processed foods because it is easier to just pop a complete meal in the microwave. Everyone tends to eat on the run now--mom (or dad) no longer spend time in the kitchen preparing and cooking from scratch.We also don't sit down everynight at the dinner table together as a family-hence less communication between us all. A lot is lost in losing that experience EVERYDAY....now some families still sit down together everyday and the other things as well--but if you ever did a survey you would find they are far and few--everyone is too busy--and that little microwave as much as I love it has taken alot away from us.....

If you have the encarta encyclopedia program on your computer they have a list of inventions.  Just type in notable Inventions and Discoveries and it will bring up a table with all the info you need.

Indoor plumbing, the transistor (without which there would be no digital electronics), plastics.  I would agree with the "wheel" answer, except that it came around long before the engineering profession and was probably invented by some caveman.  You could also include scientific principles that have been discovered and subsequently led to great engineering feats.  For instance, Maxwell's Laws of Electromagnetism (the principle on which all wireless devices work), Bernoulli's Principle (the basis for airplane wing design) and so on.

Well,...\n   First, write down the important topics if you see or hear one. the write down the MAIN and IMPORTANT details. Don't write down details that you think are not important!\nExample:\n   Inventions in the 1800's\n      Blue Jeans \n       (Inventors name here)\n         (Date invented here)\n      The Washing Machine\n        (Inventors name name here)\n          1858  \n\nYou get the picture! \n  If you still want more info,...\n    Go to Barn and nobles and get a book about taking notes or "How to survive school!", or something like that! \n\n   GOOD LUCK!

Electronic means of communication has brought the entire world closer together.  First, it was the telegraph, then telephone and now the internet.  Communication is what makes the world go around and the tools we have invented over the past 100 years helped us grow and evolve to where we are today.

a lot of things, education, level of industrialization, and the spirit of pursing new ideas.

I think the scientists who made the greatest contribution of all time was Alexander Gram Bell even though he was not really scientists and more like a inventor. His invention the telephone is what now makes the world go round. The telephone lead to the internet, and being able to send mass amounts of information.

Wikipedia will help you out with this...hey he shares my birthday.  You learn something new everyday huh?

Printing press, television, computer. Writing materials also count. But the most influential was the phoenetic alphabet. Off topic, bu just some extra info.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the movable type printing press. This enabled the easy storage and movement of information. \n Think about all the education you have had, and your educators have had, and their educators have had etc... how much has been learnt and passed on through the printed word? Including information on how to make a wheel, what a wheel is, and all the possible applications for the wheel. Same goes for the other inventions mentioned.\n\nSure simple devices such as the wheel had been around for centuries before the printing press and some had some considerable impact on mankind. However technological development had been pretty stagnant before the advent of the movable type printing press.The industrial revolution wouldn't have been possible without the printing press. We would still be living in the 'Dark Ages'.\n\nNot only has the movable type printing press been a key part of the technologies used in other inventions mentioned but has also been a key factor in the social development of mankind. For example\nthe massive impact of political works such as the Communist Manifesto.
