I think that the best invention, was the netbook. I'm on mine right now, and I take it everywhere that I go. Another invention that I think was good, are incontinence products.

I might have said fire or the wheel or agriculture but what do I know?

Electricity, without it, we wouldn't have gotten so far with technology.

reading/writing

That is the equivalent to a Time Machine. One can communicate with people who have been dead for thousands of years.

Firearms.

There will always be people who prey on the weak. Guns enable a 90 pound woman to stop a 250 pound rapist and a ragtag group of starving rebels defeat the most well trained army on earth.

Guns empower the powerless. The French Resistance. The Vietminh. The Lexington Militia. The pregnant mother who can't afford to live in a better neighborhood. The flamboyant homosexual. The immigrant grocer in the ghetto. The taxi driver. The community college student who delivers pizza in Compton.

It doesn't take great strength or a lifetime of training to use a gun effectively. In medieval times the warrior ruled over the peasant. Now we rule ourselves (in theory.)

Guns allow people to change history.
