Our ability to create new tools is a pretty big deal. Here are ten of my favorites.

1 The Wheel

Of course this would be on here. You use the wheel for just about every single day of your entire life. So it's pretty important...

2 Fire

Me cook food, me feed family, me build civilization.

3 Electricity

What's the worst thing that can happen on a lazy day at home? The electricity goes out.

4 Writing

Before we figured out the idea out to write symbols down that could mean something, there was no way to communicate ideas to future generations. Plus without writing I wouldn't have been able to jot down this awesome blog.

5 The Printing Press

This took writing to the next level. Suddenly you didn't have to spend months copying books. New ideas spread like crazy throughout the world thanks to the printing press.

6 Television

Why is TV important? How would I be able to watch Downton Abbey without it?

7 Abacus

I was gonna include the computer in this list, but the abacus is just a lot cooler. Plus how often do you get to say the word "abacus"?

8 Telephone

Thanks to this communication became nearly instant. This is a good thing, mostly...

9 Automobile

Think about it, before the car if you wanted to go somewhere it would take forever. The idea that I could get in my car and be in Las Vegas in a few hours is just mind blowing.

10 The Internet

isn't it obvious? How would you be able to read this blog without the world wide web?
