Re: What is the most benefitial technological advance ever created?
our science and technology is built on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.
If we all had to start from scratch and re-invent our technology with each generation, we would still be living in caves with open cooking fires.
I think communication is the key that got us where we are today. Starting with spoken and written language
and greatly advancing with the Guttenburg press (as someone else already pointed out)
being able to communicate without being physically present (ie, reading what someone wrote 1000 years ago) and being able to communicate in mass (books that are mass produced)
remember all this next time you sit in an english class :^)
