A friend was visiting and, as we talked, the subject of inventions came up.
A while back, she asked her 90-something grandmother about the most life-improving invention that happened during her lifetime.
It was a washing machine for doing laundry.
It got me thinking - was there anything similarly life-altering (in a good way) during my lifetime?
There are cell phones, sure, and social media, and smartphones. But are those really an improvement? Ability to do video calls with friends and family in other countries? Maybe, but I don't do it much... Digital camera? Word processor? Streaming services?
Electric pencil sharpener?
Printer?
Maybe I'm too young and the amazing invention that will change my life is still to come...
What is the most amazing invention of your lifetime? What is the invention that you wish did not happen during your lifetime?

DeleteYes, makes sense about computer and internet. And pubmed.gov! I used to have to photocopy relevant science articles in a library - provided they even had the journal I needed. Now- it's all there and lots of papers are available open access without a fee. Amazing.
DeleteSmartphone - agree... Although google maps is a very convenient app to have.
