I agree that indoor plumbing is the number one best improvement to the lives of modern humans. The rest of our technological innovations pale in comparison to that.

I would have to agree with you. As a child visiting Europe, I remember my first outhouse with no sink! The toilet seat was really cold in winter! And I remember the stories my father told about the fear of typhoid and cholera outbreaks. That was just about 100 years ago! : (
