1) Cinemas
2) Lifts [Includes the shaft]
3) Escalators
4) Refrigerator
5) Washing machine
6) Television [The big, slim ones]
7) Computers
8) Calculators
9) Handphones
10) Pencils
[OK that was a joke. That was by order of SIZE XD]
Now, the real thing.
Top 10 GREATEST INVENTIONS [again, based on what I can think off the top of my head]
AND COUNTING FROM THE BOTTOM, we have…
10) The punchers: Hole punchers!
They can be employed for lots of punching. Especially at the most hated worksheets.
9) The carrier: Carriers. Or bags
How else are you going to bring home your shopping or go to school with all that stuff?
8) The always busy: Buses and trains! [NOT cars. I’m for the protection of Mother Earth]
Without them, you’ll spend most of your life walking. Or video conferencing.
7) The silent worker: Stove
I’m sure you [or your mom, for that matter] will not like to collect twigs, charcoal or other fuels [like solid fuels] every time you want to cook [or want to toast your marshmallows] right?
By the way, toasting marshmallows at the stove is a waste of fuels and apparently not very healthy.
6) The baby: Handphones! XD
Yup it’s a baby cause it gets carried by their owners everywhere they go. And people immediately give their handphones attention once it
Ok, so why did it make its way into the list? Well I’m sure you know why XD
5) The mathematician: Calculators!
Without them, a math paper will take more than one day to be finished. And we will still be studying straight-line graphs. Cause we’ll spend more time counting than learning.
4) The photographic memory: Cameras!
Oh, how can I forget thee? You capture the most important things in life~ Without you, how do we know what Mount Everest looks like? More importantly, how else are we going to start our Chinese compo, if we do not start thus: 那天，我在整理抽屉。 当我翻开在抽屉里找到的日记时，有一张照片飘了下来。那是一张 [insert name here]
3) The unappreciated: Refrigerators
If there’re no fridges, there will be NO ICE CREAM!!! Ok that’s not the main point but, REALLY ICE CREAM ROCKS!!!! *ahem* [OH a discovery! If you type a word between asterisks like the ahem thing, MS word will convert it into BOLD!] Anyway, you won’t have your cold food, and your fruits will go bad really quickly. In fact, apples/ pears etc can’t even be imported into Singapore! So we’ll all have to live on bananas. Coconuts if we are lucky enough. Appreciate your fridge.
2) The magician: Toilet bowls
Life made easy. Just a push of the button and behold! It’s all gone! Need me say more? XD
1) The LIGHT: Electric lamps!!!!
Well after camping in Sabah where it gets dark from 6/7 pm, [As in really dark. Like the 9 o’clock darkness in Singapore] I realized the importance of light at night. When I was there I really couldn’t see a thing! Ok maybe a bit from other people’s torches [I was too lazy to get my own out], but it was really inconvenient. And they didn’t have invention #9 there as well so you’ll be worried on stepping on [censored] as well. [Just kidding. People do choose faraway places to do their stuff.] Yup in any case, life would be miserable without electric lamps.
