The Five best inventions in history of mankind Recently I was reading an article which rated the 5 best inventions mankind has made in the course of it's history. The editor's/expert picks were 1. Wheel 2. Printing Press 3. Gunpowder 4. Electricity 5. The Silicon Transistor How many of you agree with this choice. Do you think anything else should be part of the list or something is left out?
