My daughter said makeup and the straightening iron. My son said his Nintendo DS Lite. We are a spoiled society aren't we?
Nice one - I 2nd that.
But in an effort to rhyme, I will have to add the thong.
EDIT: In all seriousness, The Snowboard and The Chairlift.
Fire comes to mind.
Isn't that more of a discovery than an invention?
I second that.
Until the day we have the Jettson's type flying cars, I'll have to agree that the wheel is the greatest invention of all time. Once we have flying cars, I'm going to have to go with anti-grav plates.

Right now instead of a car that folded up into a briefcase, I'd take a 30" iMac that folded up as my iPhone. And never needed to be charged.
Naah -- there have been a lot of better things since then...
Are you sure? I've heard of plenty of things that are the "Greatest thing since sliced bread" but so far no one has said "Wow, this surpasses sliced bread!" and wouldn't whatever surpasses it become the new ending for "This is the greatest thing since..."?

Electricty wasn't invented.
By your logic I would then say that oxygen was the greatest invention ever.
Remember that show, American Inventor? They gave the winner $1 million to bring his design to market. Well, a couple years later, it's still not there.
The concept is supposed to be an ultra-safe baby car seat, which rotates when there's a crash to add extra cushioning. Of course, the main problem with car seats is that they're never properly installed, and this seat would do nothing to solve that. Plus, it's absolutely ENORMOUS, which also limits its utility.

good answer.
Didn't want to be too controversial and put it in the other thread.
I thought is was
Everyone knows that!
SAMMAGE *Maybe I should have posted this in the "What do you think of these changes to the English Language" thread. (Wow that's along title.)
