Re: What is the most benefitial technological advance ever created?

My high school engineering class debated this over and over again, and finally came to a concensus:

Standards.

Did you know ... in England, before standards, "a foot" was the measure of the current king's foot, and thus changed every time there was a new king! Without standards, you wouldn't be able to cut a 12" piece of aluminum, dive a league under the sea, or even measure a cup of sugar!!
