definitely the circle!. think of how many things are shaped that way! and you cant have a wheel without a circle!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely, the wheel!.

The machine that slices the bread, certainly deserves to be in the top 10!. Slicing bread by hand with a knife would become very tedious, if you had to slice a few thousand in one day!.

The Grand Canyon wasn't invented; it was created by various forces of nature!.

Fire was not an invention; it was a discovery!.

Writing, mainly because without it nothing else would have been possible without the accurate transfer of knowledge between generations and civilizations!.

Indoor plumbing because it cleaned up cities!. People living in cities have always had to do their business!. Prior to indoor plumbing the toilet was a chamber pot and the sewer system was the street!. It would go to the street eventually ending up in the water supply and spreading diseases such as cholera!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would have to say the wheel!. Think about it with out the wheel we wouldn't have been able to create the civilization we have now sprockets, gears, clocks, printing press, just about every thing has some sort of a wheel attached to it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Wheel dude, without any doubt!. The reason being that we have to re-invent the wheel just about everyday!. Get the point!?

And by the way the grand Canyon was a discovery not an invention!.
