Good list.

But I would probably toss the sail or boat for electricity and the resulting digital age.

Obvious reason the Spaniards made mince meat of the Aztec Empire in very short order.

Plus horses and metal weapons and allying with everyone who hated the Aztecs.

OOPS I'll try that again


#1 invention of all time,

The Wheel.

Without the wheel mankind would never have gotten beyond the point of the Aztecs. Obvious reason the Spaniards made mince meat of the Aztec Empire in very short order.

Fire can be manufactured in various ways, and not just a product of opportunity. I saw “Quest For Fire”.

The Edison Effect.

Led to the vacuum tube, radio, television, the transistor, the integrated circuit, electronic computers, Internet, cell phones, iPods, video games.

Hmmmm. Maybe it wasn’t so great after all.
