Well in order to be the best invention it must be the standard for comparing all other inventions to.

Therefore it has to be Sliced Bread.

You compare other inventions to sliced bread?

Be your logic, the best invention is the iPod! :)
 
Sliced bread goes stale far quicker... therefore surely the best invention is the unsliced loaf of bread. or perhaps the bread knife so you can cut it yourself and have fresher bread.

Or maybe the breadmaker? after all, without the bread we have nothing to slice.

My personal opinion is that the Internet is the best invention ever.
 
I can't say it's so much an invention as an innovation, but sometimes they're one and the same, so I'm gonna go ahead and say recycling.
 
The wheel.

Seriously - name some product or tool in your day to day life that is not 100% totally and utterly dependent on a wheel at some point in development, production, delivery or usage.
