The radio, it was the first form of wireless communication that connected people city to city, country to country and all across the globe!. It was the forerunner of all current forms of communication!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

By far and away the most important invention of the 20th century was antibiotics!. You only need to look at the difference in life-expectancy pre and post their availability to justify that claim!.

(And I qualify it as an invention rather than a discovery because it was the invention of mass-produced antibiotics that made the difference)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dec!. 16, 1947, to be exact --the transistor was invented at Bell Labs, igniting a series of changes and advances that would change the way people listen to their favorite music, do their jobs, pay their bills, educate themselves and buy everything from books to used toaster ovens!. Transistors inside pacemakers keep our hearts going!. Computer chips run inside our cars, cell phones and even tiny, implantable LoJack-like devices that find our lost pets!. The personal computer and the Internet have been phenomena, but how usable and ubiquitous would they be without millions of tiny transistors running inside laptops, desktops and servers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Internet!. It has made a major change in how we communicate, work, play, and acquire information!. I can't think of any other invention in the past century that has affected almost every aspect of our lives more than this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
