Alright dude, groovy, hug a rainbow. Anyways... wtf kind of list is that supposed to be? Cheese Grater is above BUSES? The Microwave is higher up than the compass? **** public transportation, as long as I can easily shred cheese into small pieces. This list seriously makes me want to punch someone(preferably the morons who made the list, all 4000 of them). Does anyone else think that duct tape should be on the list somewhere?(towards the bottom, but still, duct tape is incredibly useful). Also, where is gunpowder, the printing press, or even locks/keys? I guess they are hanging out with plumbing in the useless list or something. Lastly... where the **** is bacon??? Bacon and cheesecake need to be tied for first place.
OK... The Bit-Tech list of Best Inventions: 1. Cheesecake. 2. Everything created by Bergholt Stuttley Johnson.
Little things that got me laughing, going along with the idea that people would rather have the top items before the bottom items you end up with Internet being used before people even have devices to use it, or have it even exist! Also, how is it possible to have "iPhone" and "Mobile phones" in one list? Is an iPhone no longer a mobile phone? Shoes are down at 30th, think of a day without no shoes and only items 1-29. It'll make you shudder. At 44th is the entire concept of a roof. Try sleeping in the rain with only items 1-43 at your disposal. Of course, you'll have to get to 73 to get a screwdriver to actually make a decent roof since it's the first and only tool for construction. Down at 96th you get a bottle opener... yet there are no bottles listed. Apparently people enjoy quickly and easily opening drinks more than actually having a stored and sealed drink in the first place. Seeing 58 made me chuckle a bit. You'll need more that a crash helmet to survive with only items 1-57. At least if you live long enough to make it to 59 you can check your new wrist watch to record your triumph. Down at 48th you get cats-eyes helping make motorways safe. Only downside is waiting til 74 to get motorways in the first place. Bringing new meaning to Safety First! And of course, the coup de grace, clothes pins. Derp derp.
Amazon continues to suck a gigantic phallus by having separate categories for "ipods" and "mp3 players". Goddamn idiots. I nearly slapped a guy when I showed him a creative Zen player and he went "oh, so it's like a knock-off ipod?" Short version: people are frickin' stupid and shallow when it comes to technology, and they eat up Apple's self-aggrandizing pretentious marketing like it's ****ing popcorn.
Naah. It's just that iPods are a lot better known than Creative Zens (for a reason, admittedly). It was not the marketing. It was finding the right market position and then tailoring the product to it. Think of how Sony changed the world of game consoles with the PS1.
ROFL. Before this came along those pesky breweries were making bottles sealed in such a way people had to smash them open! Why is Steam not on this list???
Penicillin is not a dead virus, it's not a vaccine it's an antibiotic. A vaccine teaches the bodies immune system to recognise a disease while an antibiotic directly attacks bacterium (all bacterium, including the symbiotic ones in our gut) Moriquendi
I think we should set up a poll and see what everyone thinks is the best invention from a list =D Back to the forum title, I don't think the iphone should be in it... it should just be the mobile phone
