What do Tenerife Forum members think are man's greatest inventions and discoveries?
The title says it all really.

I was inclined to say penicillin for discovery but in time it may mean that bugs become more resistant and stronger. Instead I'll opt for Electricity.

As for inventions I'll opt for the wheel.

What would you select for important inventions and discoveries?

Oh for goodness sake you lot! The answer is obvious. I remember once someone saying that civilisation is defined as a species which has learned both voluntary inhibition of defecation and the discovery of alcoholic fermentation. The first doesn't count as an invention.
