Lol I am writing a book about donuts. My Uncle owned LaMar’s Donuts. If you have any stories,opinions, or ideas for the book I would appreciate it. Donut photos?
@CandyWorner That is great. Donuts should be one of the major food groups.
Wow, that's a good question, I need to think about it.

You mean apart from The Wheel, Electricity an the Internet? My "silly answer" is my MP3 player. If you had told me when I was young that you wound be able to fit all my 300 records (both sides) on something as small as a matchbox AND listen to them. I would have thought you were insane in the membrane. BIg Brighton Love Andy x

Think the pencil is a brilliant design that is pretty much unchanged since it was created. Simple, functional... the other greatest invention is paper. Then there are books...
I love technologies but most will not function with out electricity. And that can be limiting. When you have a pencil, paper, and imagination the possibilities are endless.

The neocortex, invented by Mother Nature, seems to have started our rise as dominant species on the Earth, and gave us the capacity for doing both art and science.

Which was not a human invention.
I'd vote for the ability to make fire, when and where it was needed; then there's flint knapping, the beginnings of Science, investigating the 'grain in the stone.'
