Greatest Innovations of All-Time

(Scott) What are the greatest innovations of all-time? Businessweek and the Doblin Group ventured to define the list... http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/feb2007/id20070216_377845.htm

Believe it or not, no iPod, mini-skirts, polyester or Cheetos on the list. They're thinking much bigger. It's the kind of list that provokes a little banter. So, what do you think? What is on the list that does not fit? What is not on the list that should be there?

Here's the first few entries:

1. Weapons
2. Mathematics and the number zero
3. Money
4. Printing
5. Free markets and capital markets
6. Domesticated animals and agriculture
7. Property ownership
8. Limited liability
9. Participatory democracy
10. Anesthetics and surgery

Hi Scott

The inventions that have changed the lives of women are:
tampons
washing machine
the pill
the epidural

allowing women greater freedoms of one sort or another.

one of my favourite inventions is the bicycle - it's not changed that much since it was first invented and is such a clever way of getting around.

cool post!!
