I’m sure everyone could list a huge amount of stuff ie
The internet (if only for fab 😜)
The motor car
Aircraft
All medical advancements
Television
Phones etc…….
I’m talking about the most useful invention for everyday use. I was putting on my jeans this morning and thought to myself, Denim must be one of the most versatile and useful inventions ever.

The cold is not a single virus: it is a family of viruses."

"GPS & SatNav. Yeah, AI, the Internet and all that it does for us is nice n'all, but Sat Nav is as big as the wheel was all those millennia ago. (IMHO)"
Yes!
The amount of non tourist-industries that rely on this is huge. Architects, farmers and agronomists, archeologists, forest fire control, animal tracking on land and in the sea. Ordanace surveying, earthquake observing and companie like what3words, who make finding places really easy to find and publish.

"The anal plug. Will be keeping A&E departments in work when every illness and virus (*family of viruses) is cured."
I once used to date a nurse and in their accommodation would be clippings of the worst of A&E.
A gentleman went into their department with a set of bike handlebars inside him. So not just butt plugs old boy! |

I've a bad back today and just applied a Deep Heat roll on. No greasy fingers with application and it's really lovely and toasty warm.
Large backpacks that open all the way around like suitcases not just top and bottom where you have to get everything out!

Did you know that the original technology that is said to form the basis of modern WiFi was developed by Hollywood actress Hedy Lamar. "
I knew it came from someone unexpected but couldn't remember who, good fact 👍 |

Talking watches are great, I've had one. Brilliant, simple, useful and cheap. £30ish. |
