Writer's Block: Greatest Invention
I told John I'd do these if he started doing them, so here we go.
My pick for the single greatest invention is The Internet.
Nobody knows who invented the internet, some say it was a gift given by Prometheus in between disembowelings, while other scholars contend that Native American tribesmen traded it to filthy French-Canadian fur trappers in exchange for several pelts and venison.
Whatever its origins, The Internet has completely transformed our everyday lives, including how we search for information. Why, thanks to Google.com, I know now local area celebrity/frequent comedic foil Pat Burns is in fact, a Republican Lawyer specializing in Regulatory Law and Financial Instituations, something I'd long suspected, but never been able to prove. http://www.rnla.org/bio/BioDetail.asp?MemberID=902
And hat's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the awesome cosmic power that is The Internet. It's also changed commerce, as evidenced by the fact that I can buy 16 year old empty boxes of Count Chocula off of Ebay for just 9.95! http://cgi.ebay.com/1992-Count-Chocula-Cereal-Box-Bat-w-vari-vue-eye-ab177_W0QQitemZ300249589911QQihZ020QQcategoryZ19079QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
But perhaps most importantly, The Internet has changed the way human beings interact on a fundamental level and revolutionizing the very nature of communication. For instance, twenty years ago, I couldn't watch a video where a man explains to me that he is in fact a dragon.
Honestly, after considering all this, how the hell did Humanity even begin to walk on two feet and , you know, invent maths and stuff, without this beautiful, golden entity to guide our way? I don't want to know what this horrible before time was like and that is why, in my opinion, The Internet is the best invention. Suck it, The Wheel.
