Sen. Obama supporters, is he really the best and most "world changing" candidate?
Or is he just the lesser of two evils to you?
In other words, is he just the best you have, no really that big of a CHANGE|||Since he has never attempted to %26quot;change%26quot; anything in the senate, and voted %26quot;present%26quot; on more bills than any other dem, I doubt his claim highly. He couldnt even change Chicago...|||best ther democrats have
which unfortunately for them aint good enough|||I think we are in BIG BIG trouble in this country.|||If he gets elected he will disarm us and get us all killed
It will be his supporters that will get fried in the cities and it will serve them right.

Health Care for Everyone? Raise your taxes!

Having children in our changing world, is it a good idea?
Taking the environment into consideration before making the decision to have children....
So many people reproduce without thinking about the impact their child will have on the environment, or what impact the environment will have on the child.
Between pollution, global warming, disappearing natural resources, political strife, and war is it smart, safe or even responsible to have children at this point in time? (or multiple children)
Thoughts, feelings?|||For you.... Not so good.|||I think the amount of children each person can have should be limited. We%26#039;re draining all our natural resources. The least we could do is slow down the process before we destroy the whole thing.|||well having children is okay as long as the parents teach them well about life and all.
well think about it, if everyone thinks the way u do then humanity will disappear and nothing left. is it really as good as u think?|||What children want and need is not an unpolluted environment, but two parents who love them and try to meet their needs.
It sounds like you%26#039;re a caring, thoughtful person. These are exactly the qualities that a child should grow up with. We need children to grow up with the qualities that you have - concern for the environment and for the well-being of children.
Why not work as a family, you and your children, on global problems? Then you will have done something positive and worthwhile.|||First of all the world is a big place, Second global warming is just an natural event not man made. Third natural resources are not running out, the government and companies use this to boots prices and introduce new taxs.
All you have to do is bring up your children with good morals and don%26#039;t let them be brainwashed by media, do research and show them the truth about life, like learning treat others with respect.|||I know what you are saying Frisky. People want to have children ,but its sad to bring a child into todays world .
To MsMinnaMouse...I too believe that people should be limited to how many children they have ,especially those that live on welfare and say that they can have as many children as they want because they aren%26#039;t the ones having to pay for the doctor bill%26#039;s .
I believe before long we will see just that .|||You can believe children will simply grow up to be hedonistic consumers, totally devoid of any sense of community, living basically like yeast, happily turning grape juice into champagne as they die in their own sjit. In which case having children is a bad idea.
Alternatively, you can believe that children are the hope for the future, and that some of them may grow up to be clever enough to develop new technologies to solve the problems we face, or be able to say the words to convince others it is time to change lifestyles to help solve those same problems. In this case having children and raising them to think, to feel, and to be aware is a good thing.
I can go either way on this issue.|||These are some questions we asked ourselves before we had our son. Giving life, when two people want a child seemed more important. When we think about it, we%26#039;re probably having children to help fix what our generations have been doing to the world. Lets hope so.|||It%26#039;s definitely something i would give a lot of thought to. There never was a time in human history where it was perfectly safe to raise a child but on the other hand there has never been a time like we share now in human history. Global warming is real, overpopulation is real and may well be one of the main factors to the downfall of society as we know it. I wish anyone courage to make this decision for there is no greater biological force than procreation and no greater sacrifice than to choose not to.|||You are right, having children is the worst thing you can do to the environment besides causing an oil taker to crash.

If you had a world-changing truth that would make people overall less happy, would you reveal it?
In the long run, truth and happiness often go hand-in-hand, but for this example lets say you KNOW that in the long run people will be less happy.|||Is there anything that can make you less happy then the reality that the majority of people don%26#039;t care a whit about you?|||Why would it make people less happy? If it was something that I didn%26#039;t have to tell, I don%26#039;t think I would, if it would cause that much upheaval. Maybe, if it was important, like something about how to stop global warming. It also depends on whether or not it was genuinley truthful, not just something I believed.|||No, because the world needs to be a little bit happier.|||If i really do have a world that changing truth, I%26#039;ll never tell to any one rather i will secretly come to your ear and reveal it :D|||not to dodge the question, but a lot of times i think it would be a non-issue because people wouldn%26#039;t believe you if they didn%26#039;t want to. sure, some would. but people are amazing at choosing what they believe in order to make themselves happier.|||What is happiness. This is an eternal question, kind of like why are we here. In our Constitution the words %26quot;pursuit of happiness%26quot; are declared a right by our creator. So in this spirit of happiness and a truth that would make the people overall less happy, the truth would then only effect those that are pursuing happiness in one direction.
Happiness can certainly be adjusted to all conditions of mankind and physics, its a matter of accepting what we understand and know. So if the truth hurts a bit, it will all adjust itself with one generation of man....yes.|||If this world changing truth makes people unhappy, then I doubt it is of a beneficial nature. I mean it doesn%26#039;t cure anything, improve anything, or help anyone. In that case, the less people know the better. Keep it to yourself and save the rest of the world from more unhappiness.|||It would depend on the nature of truth. If it was something that nobody could do something about, then I wouldn%26#039;t say anything. However, if it was something that despite its gravity was temporary, then I would let people know in order to be prepared, adjust their lives to the new reality, try to minimize the consequences of that world-changing truth and work towards a solution.|||Ha... would you open Pandera%26#039;s box?
The question is... would you think that was the consequence? You may very well convince yourself that the world would be a better place, since it%26#039;s a truth.
Now if you became a Cassandra or a Sibyl... you would tell the truth, however, no one would believe you. I believe that this is why many oriental philosophers believe the truth lies inside each individual: if you don%26#039;t want to believe in facts, or in others%26#039; beliefs, you just hold your own truths...
In conclusion, I would say that statement has a lot of assumptions that are worth exploring. Especially in today%26#039;s mediatic world, it%26#039;s hard to know how your truth would be spun... you may just end up in exile. And if you%26#039;re lucky, you%26#039;ll chop an ear off and become a famous painter (post mortem, that is).|||Truth in reality is far better for any human being to experience than happiness in delusion. Think of previous truths revealed-Dawkins realized that humans were not %26#039;created%26#039; especially, but evolved. This depressed some people, and many others denied it, but it has led us to great scientific and ethical advances, from biogenetics to the near-end of religion as the universal excuse.|||If it had the potential to help a lot of people but would help at least one person, then yes. Since you say it%26#039;s world changing, I interpreted that to mean that it would conflict with many peoples%26#039; %26lt;italicize%26gt; Perceptions (end italic) of how the world should be.
It%26#039;s my belief that people are responsible for their own emotions, whether or not they take active responsibility for them. I also believe that most people don%26#039;t take responsibility for their own emotions. So any world changing truth is apt to make a lot of people unhappy. No matter the nature of the %26quot;truth%26quot; presented to them.

Does anyone else feel the need to prepare for our changing world?
There is little doubt that our world is changing. Global warming and climate change, war, and the natural distructive behavior of humans threaten every aspect of the world as we know it. Does anyone else see a change in our very way of life being necessary to survive the coming age?|||I think what many people in my generation fail to realize is that the world is changing, but it%26#039;s nothing new. The world has always changed over the years, it is not something unique to our lifetime. War has always been around since humans have walked the earth. Humans have been destroying natural habitats for generations, again nothing new. Then you come to the big climate change question. I admit it could very well be that humans are directly responsible. BUT what many people fail to realize is that we have only been recording temperatures for about 200 years, a very short time in human history. It is just as possible that climate change is a natural occurrence. Study the earth and you%26#039;ll see that different animal species have migrated to different parts of the globe over the thousands of years because of changing weather. North America and Asia were once joined between Russia and Alaska many years ago. The ice sheets that joined these 2 continents melted over time. Theirs natural climate change for you at a time when humans were not polluting the earth. For every argument for man made climate change there is an argument to disprove it. I simply wish people would swallow their pride and admit that NOBODY KNOWS 100% either way. Another thing to remember is that many of the people supporting climate change stand to make a lot of money with the new carbon trading scheme that the Kyoto Protocol introduced. We should all be more enviromentally responsible, but nobody should believe a theory blindly without looking at all sides of the story which unfortunately most people don%26#039;t do.....Thanks for listening take care.|||yes,i feel like so. But, I wonder is the people changing the world or is the world changing?|||Fa shizzle! We won%26#039;t be able to rely on the weather to consistantly provide us with good farming conditions. We should build giant, indoor farm/labs. GM (genetically modified)vegetables are much more acceptable to the American consumer than GM meats, for obvious reasons. Hydroponics and soil engineering stuff would require some science guys. Heck, these type of farms could even be prototypes for growing food in space colonies on places that don%26#039;t have weather like we know it. Climate%26#039;s changing, we can%26#039;t stop it or reverse it, so lets make sure we can feed everyone and avoid the future mass starvations. Whether or not we are the cause is unimportant now. Adapt or die.
Is the book business: a changing world 7th edition identical to the 6th edition? best answer for most helpful?
Iam a college student and bought the 7th edition for 130 dollars but someones selling a 6th edition for 45 dollars, it would be nice to save a little money. Help me out.|||It will probably be 98% the same. Sometimes I think they come out with new additions to make more money. But it%26#039;s rare things will end up on different pages. It also depends how quickly the subject matter changes. You could ask your professor if it%26#039;s OK to get the 6th edition. In my classes, the professors seemed aware sometimes kids would have a previous edition. One time I recall him telling kids who had an older edition to go to a different page, but usually it doesn%26#039;t matter. Shouldn%26#039;t it say somewhere in the beginning or the back of the book what changes were made?

As a citizen of the world would you be willing to join a secret group dedicated to changing the world?
there is a secret group of individuals who are dedicated to changing world government as you know them now. if you joined this group what would suggest we could do to change governments. please be honest and no suggestions of violence|||I would join the group, but it depends on what the values of the group are.

Is the world changing for the better or worst?
Do you think our society is changing for better or worst? Taking in consideration everything from the wars, politics, technology, education, morals, the media, etc etc...
What do you think are the main issues for why or why not?|||The world is getting worst and worst each and everyday. Too much crime and war and the media is not helping. Dont even get me started on the education system.|||The world is changing for the better in regards to technology. But, when you really look at it, we aren%26#039;t too different from our predecessors. I think mankind has had the same fundamental issues in every generation.|||Worst...Global warming, technology has both good and bads involved, manners in little kids seem to have gone out the window for the most part due to the fact the parents are too busy to teach them right. And you can start talking about all the sickos and psychos in the world, but they%26#039;ve always been there just not so advertised, because the media is involved in everything these days and lets not get into the publicity they get just from all the people posting stuff on youtube.|||Of course it%26#039;s getting worse. The bible says in the end times, because inequity abounds, the love of many will grow cold. Why is this such a mystery? It%26#039;s been written down for thousands of years, and now we are seeing it fulfilled.|||Considering my children abrupt change of attitudes outside the family there is really a great change|||the world remains the same have you read the bible about this, what will it be like in the times of the end, the world willl not change, society and societies will not change, there will be achievements, but everything will stay the same, love and hate. marrying and giving in marriage, wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes in diverse places, really sounds pretty good, not too much to keep up with, all rather simple really and we have been doing a good job so far|||We are living in a hypocrit world. The society is never changing but we assume that it is changing.|||It really depends on what you mean by better or worse. Honestly, those are rather vague descriptions, as one man might think something is better while another may think its worse.
But here is my 2 cents:
Education: In the sense that our youth are being %26quot;taught%26quot; more, you could say that our society, or the world, is getting better. However, at least here in the US, there is more emphasis put on quantity instead of quality. This type of education, simply stuffing facts down young people%26#039;s throats, is not the kind of education that will prepare anyone for the real world and real world issues. Here in the US, the youth are sheilded from the harsh realities in our world. Most people think that they have it bad because (please dont chew me out for this, but im speaking from the experience of my area) they had a fight with their parents, they didnt get their favorite food, or their Burburry purse, but most of these youth have never been in real poverty, and never seen the rough side of life. Therefore, its quantity over quality, whereas it should be the other way around.
Education: worse
Wars, Morals, Politics, the Media, all meshed into one: Once again, I am speaking from my US perspective. The US president gets quite greedy, such as Iraq (oil) and Afghansitan (which, incidentally, has not officially ended yet...not that it officially started), and puts human life in the way of danger for personal gain. The media spins it so that we think he is doing a great service to our country. Morals are fading, sins and everything are going down, etc.
So for all of the above: worse
Technology: better, way better. but when will it stop?
controversy over moral issues like abortion and cloning make technology seem like a bad thing, but is it?
I think not.
Thats about my 2 cents, any questions you know where to find me.
P.S. Sorry about the skimply answers for some of the subjects. This was quite a controversial question based more upon individual definitions of good/bad so i didnt want to elaborate more. But i think that the world can turn its direction, if people would get rid of their vices. The Qu%26#039;ran, Bible, and other holy books say that the world will end in chaos and disaster. Look around. There already is the chaos, and with issues like global warming, excess CO2, etc, the disaster seems to be coming.
What do you think are the main issues for why or why not?|||The world is getting worst and worst each and everyday. Too much crime and war and the media is not helping. Dont even get me started on the education system.|||The world is changing for the better in regards to technology. But, when you really look at it, we aren%26#039;t too different from our predecessors. I think mankind has had the same fundamental issues in every generation.|||Worst...Global warming, technology has both good and bads involved, manners in little kids seem to have gone out the window for the most part due to the fact the parents are too busy to teach them right. And you can start talking about all the sickos and psychos in the world, but they%26#039;ve always been there just not so advertised, because the media is involved in everything these days and lets not get into the publicity they get just from all the people posting stuff on youtube.|||Of course it%26#039;s getting worse. The bible says in the end times, because inequity abounds, the love of many will grow cold. Why is this such a mystery? It%26#039;s been written down for thousands of years, and now we are seeing it fulfilled.|||Considering my children abrupt change of attitudes outside the family there is really a great change|||the world remains the same have you read the bible about this, what will it be like in the times of the end, the world willl not change, society and societies will not change, there will be achievements, but everything will stay the same, love and hate. marrying and giving in marriage, wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes in diverse places, really sounds pretty good, not too much to keep up with, all rather simple really and we have been doing a good job so far|||We are living in a hypocrit world. The society is never changing but we assume that it is changing.|||It really depends on what you mean by better or worse. Honestly, those are rather vague descriptions, as one man might think something is better while another may think its worse.
But here is my 2 cents:
Education: In the sense that our youth are being %26quot;taught%26quot; more, you could say that our society, or the world, is getting better. However, at least here in the US, there is more emphasis put on quantity instead of quality. This type of education, simply stuffing facts down young people%26#039;s throats, is not the kind of education that will prepare anyone for the real world and real world issues. Here in the US, the youth are sheilded from the harsh realities in our world. Most people think that they have it bad because (please dont chew me out for this, but im speaking from the experience of my area) they had a fight with their parents, they didnt get their favorite food, or their Burburry purse, but most of these youth have never been in real poverty, and never seen the rough side of life. Therefore, its quantity over quality, whereas it should be the other way around.

What are some world changing events that happened in Australia?
Probably the development of the first process to effectively extract Penicillin by Howard Florey (a shared credit). This is not the sort of event one might really notice, but has more bearing for the average person than anything done militarily, politically or economically.
Other than this here have really been none, if you want to be serious about it.
%26quot;World changing%26quot; is a big claim, and nothing solely emanating from here has really affected the world as such.

Why was the Agricultural Revolution such a world changing event? How did it change how people lived and lead to civilization?
my finals are coming up and i need and answer|||the simple answer is the rise of cities|||Well part of it is the obvious, more food could be harvested in larger amounts with a faster time from start to finish because of new more efficient technology. This spike in the amount of food produced created a larger population because more people could be fed, there fore there was more labor to be used during the Industrial Revolution. It also created more cash crop and food materials for colonies and cash crop nations (like the United States at the time with cotton) to either be exploited even further (the colonies) or to gain enough capital in their own economies so that they eventually became industrialized (the nations). The more efficient tools also caused a decrease in the need of manual labor, meaning that less people had to work to get just as much food, causing the number of people in cities to spike and in tern fueling the mass amounts of cheap labor needed for the industrial Revolution.
Edit: Which one do you mean? The Agricultural Revolution in the Neolithic era or the Agricultural Revolution of the 1800%26#039;s?|||Let me draw an analogy with the development of textile technology.
If technology reduces a pair of pants from 10 percent of your annual income to one percent of your annual income, you now have 9 percent of your income to spend on other things.

What needs 2 happen in America to prepare the workforce for the changing world, so that we do not fall behind?
The American workforce is facing a changing world. American jobs are being outsourced to other countries and jobs are being lost in America.
September 2007, the U.S. Department of Labor reported that the unemployment rate was 4.6 and -4000 was added.
I beleive many Americans want American jobs to stay in America, and make jobs availiable to Americans citizens.
Globalization is great. Today, we now live in a borderless business environment, but if companies are sending jobs to other countries and the American general workforce will not benefit from this business model, who wins? Certainly not American workers, because we can not get a good paying job.
Again, what do we need to do as a country, to better prepare American workers, so we do not fall behind other countries with regard to jobs and a quality workforce?|||In the last 25 years,our manufacturing base has been cut in half.Too late to cry about it now.Best course for the young and talented is to acquire skills that have a global marketability.Rest of America will need to learn how to get by with less while buying foreign made junk at Wally World.|||Question comes too late.|||On the low end spectrum, if America wants to compete with foreign cheap labor, they%26#039;re going to have to work for low wages and for fewer benefits. Their is no way around this; you have to compete with what%26#039;s available and the most desperate people will work for whatever they can. Even on the high end field this is true. I%26#039;m a computer programmer, my field used to enjoy incredibly lucrative salaries. Not so much anymore, Indian programmers will do the same quality of work for about $10-$20 / hour. Gone are the days when a programmer could easily be making 6 figures several years out of college.
One way America could increase its manufacturing economy is by signing off on some type of amnesty or guest worker program. This would increase company%26#039;s incentives to operate within America (and pay taxes to our government).

Would you prepare yourself for world changing events or live your last years with all those that may perish?
If history repeats it self and this planet shift is going to happen with the arrival of Planet X? Would you spend your remaining years preparing yourself to survive, mentally physically, possibly isolated from society and all you know. Would you try to spread the word since Mega Media would rather not promote a state of fear by educating the major populous.

Repeated dreams about this world changing?
okay, so for the past month i%26#039;ve been having repeated dreams about tidal waves, and the world coming to an end, which is unusual because I%26#039;ve known about 2012 since last year and haven%26#039;t really paid much attention to it, and never really dreamed anything about it, but it seems lately that%26#039;s all that is coming to me, as if these visions keep getting stronger and stronger. I had another dream last night, except it was a pandemic, and everyone was zombies, except for I. Has anyone else been having weird dreams like this lately?|||the world is gonna end but not in 2012 becuz NO ONE knows when the world is gonna end but god|||have you been worried that one of your friends or family members is going to pass away anytime soon? or a pet? something you might loose? someone might be moving away?|||Very rarely are dreams simply about what they depict. Odds are, your subconscious is trying to tell you that you are not as prepared for something as you should be. That might be college, a job, parenthood or something as meaningless as a football tryout. I don%26#039;t know that part, but I guarantee you are not seeing the future of the world, just the future of your own emotions if you don%26#039;t heed their warnings.
If some major world changing event occurred, would religious people all over the world freak out?
Would they become irrational and all start claiming that the event signifies something to do with their religion and insist that everyone listen to them and ignore the scientists who are trying to inform people of the situation rationally?|||They would probably come to Y!A and point out exactly where it%26#039;s been %26quot;prophecized%26quot; in their scripture.
Long time no see Desiree.|||Yes, very likely.|||Everyone would probably freak out a bit.
But, yeah, religion is quick to monopolize on misfortune.|||Depends on the world-changing event, I wager.|||We are not the ones who have fear of these things coming to pass so why would we freak out?|||That, my dear, already happens on a daily basis. Even as we speak somewhere someone is praising a god, praying to one, or fearing the wrath on another. Far too many people on this planet are willing to do the whole %26quot;Onward Christian Soldiers%26quot; thing and %26quot;Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition%26quot; at the drop of a hat.

The right policies will determine how quickly it fixes itself, but it will get better. The environment will not. The right environmental policy will make the climate right for us.

I have a potentially world-changing idea. How do I take that to say Apple or the UN?
I actually have two very big ideas that could very potentially change the way we communicate for the better, independently of each other that is. I would like to try to work with Apple on one of them, but it%26#039;s a completely different way to do computers and not something that I can just send to their support team as a suggestion. I would actually like to be somewhat in charge of the project if they would want to hire me. The same goes for the UN.|||I very much doubt you have anything of interest, however, on the small chance you do. Don%26#039;t go to Apple or another large computer corp you will be raped by them and your idea with not be your own anymore. Try and read a little about Apple%26#039;s working principles before you go all fanboy about them. They are as bad as Microsoft. Create your own company and get investors from the high tech sector to support you, paradoxically in a recession you may find it easier, there are fewer startups appearing on the market so you are more likely to catch an investor%26#039;s eye.
UN? Seriously, the UN is the most ineffective organization the world has ever created. it serves no function other than to bully small countries into submission. The UN is a leftover from the Second World War that needs to be overhauled. Start an NGO any idiot can do it.|||You cant just go into a multinational corp. a be manager there!!

2) Become independently wealthy so people will take your opinion seriously

In eastern philosophy, lotus is chosen as a symbol of a religion (rather a way of life, now more popular as a %26#039;religion) ! More the slush, better the lotus ! So, a lotus like flower can bloom with such caring parents, even with slush all around.
The question is indeed very pertinent, and thoughtful.|||Not getting worse, just more of us so it APPEARS worse.|||Yes 3D reality/delusion is configured to go from bad to worst then onward to good, better, best!
Life is but a %26#039;circle%26#039; until your %26#039;consciousness%26#039; raises then life becomes a spiral ever moving onward and upward to %26quot;Source%26quot; which is the Alpha and Omega!|||It is the result of your weak perceptions of the world. You need to know true version of this world. Filth is a compulsory part of this world. Filthy people will always be a big question mark for you. So, learn how to keep away from Filth. Your tummy carries at least two kg. filth inside your body, which you are always finding to get rid off.
Learn the way of good, how to be good and how to avoid/reject the bad. That%26#039;s the thumb rule, you have to follow for your survival.
Remember the jungle rule Survival of the Fittest also apply to our society.|||I don鈥檛 think the world is getting worse.
Imagine how our parents and grandparents must have felt as the air sirens warned of bomb threats and they dashed us into bomb shelters, or rationing out a meager wage to feed 5 children and sleeping in a single roomed home?
I think the way in which you view the world is an outward expression of how you see yourself. The good news being that the good times like the bad all come to an end and therein lies the balance we all seek.|||Its really changing.
I agree with you 100%.
So many who don%26#039;t take responsibility for there own actions
I have seen many changes, more bad than good.
Your OK.
Comes with age.|||I have read your words in many ancient writings.
They are born of a process of mental evolution, and nothing is complete until the end.
Thought is ever changing.
The world remains constant.
You are right and yet incomplete in the true wholeness of thought.
If we look in dark places we will surely find dark creatures.
What is the greatest world-changing invention?
I%26#039;m doing a poll for a history class on what people think the most world-changing invention is. It could be the computer, internet, telephone, anything.|||good question....ill go with flying (planes/helicopters etc..). Hundreds of years ago the thought that humans could fly would prob have been unimaginable, and now you can be on the other side of the world in a matter of hours. Its helped make the world a smaller place. Its also beautiful seeing the world from a plane.|||Definitely the internet.|||Guttenberg. The printing press, revolutionized the world and civilization as we know it today.|||The internet, the world are now growing exponentially, thanks to the internet.|||I would say it is the car. Reason: it not only paved the way for roads, bridges, and many other things. It is also the reason for the ozone layer, pollution, gas wars, and nitrogen fuel cells. Plus, much more. So it plays in good and bad.|||I vote for the steam engine. It really allowed industrial processes to be automated in the industrial revolution, clothes to be manufactured etc. Then everyone moved from the country to form massive cities and work in factories. Definetly the steam engine.
What is the biggest world-changing invention?
If you had to choose any invention from any period in history, which do you think changed the world the most?|||The printing press.
Before the press, transfer of information was slow, imperfect, and costly. There was no reliable mechanism to diffuse information or save it for posterity. That meant that people had to continually solve the same fundamental problems, over %26amp; over. After the press, the world of information became available to ordinary folk.
Invention of the press was the critical first technological step leading to the world as we know it.|||The computer/Internet
The airplane|||Easy: Nuclear Weapons.
Why, because Nuclear weapons are not only the %26quot;biggest world-changing invention,%26quot; they are the most dangerous world changing invention to date.
If you asked most important to and productive for mankind, then I%26#039;d go with the printing press.
Most important for %26quot;Modern world%26quot; electricity and all the enslavement it brings with it.|||For the length of time in use and advances brought I would vote for the wheel.|||electricity|||electricity bcuz without it u couldnt have most of the other inventions|||hmm, this ones hard.
electricity
Internet
nuclear weapons
aircraft
cars/vehicles|||The wheel of course. But next to it I%26#039;d say the washing machine. It freed women to look for more than house work. Until then they spent up to three hours a day washing by hand their family clothes, the baby%26#039;s nappies etc.|||Some people say air conditioning.
But even more important than that was window screens. Before screens came along.... birds bugs mice and all kinds of things could just walk or fly into your house... can you imagine!!!|||The mechanical clock. Look it up if you think I%26#039;m joking. It was the first time someone had created a machine that worked successfully and did something worthwhile. It actually was the springboard for the entire Industrial Revolution. Without that Revolution, we would not be using computers right now. We would not be in space. etc.|||The printing press in Europe. It ws practical (unlike Chinese ones), and led to the greatest dissemination of language and learning that built up our civilisation today.
Oh, and beer!|||The printing press - allowed for the quick transfer of information over long distances.
The railroad - allowed for the quick transfer of goods over long distances.
And yes, beer (and bread). A foundation of civilization is the ability to change raw grain into storable and more edible food sources.

What is the biggest world changing invention?
If you could choose any invention throughout history that had the greatest impact on the world what would you choose?|||The printing press or the telephone, or my fav the internet.|||Ignore all answers:
The only possible answer is agriculture.|||Ugh, me know how make fire. Food cook, taste good. Live good, live warm. me like fire.|||computer by far.|||Either the printing press or the transistor .
:0)|||It has got to be electricity, or the light bulb suggestion as my father can remember as a young child his family getting their first light bulb! Could you imagine?|||i would say the light bulb|||IMO, the greatest invention (some would rather use the word %26quot;development%26quot; as it is not the invention of an object as such) is that of agriculture (farms). It allowed humans to advance from scattered tribes of hunter gathers to be able to have jobs other than food gathering, live in central towns or cities and form a %26quot;civilization.%26quot;|||inventions having to do with hygiene. i always think about that, imagine how nasty people smelled back in ancient times? like morning breath or like before toilet paper? sick.|||Language|||i personally like the telephone...it was ONE of the first ways to make communication better and faster ! And w/o it we today wouldn%26#039;t have cell phones or texting !

What is the biggest world changing event?
World changing events and big world changing events.|||Event- moonwalk, invention- i would have to say phone, then microwave.|||Olympics
War|||War.|||A meteor struck the earth and wiped out most of the life on it.|||my birth|||Weather changes, along with the occasional meteor. Both tend to wipe out lots of life, and help some other forms to flourish. But the term, %26quot;event%26quot; when applied to the world could mean things that occur over a rather long period of time rather than a short one such as a couple of hours when applied to humans.|||The invention of the printing press. Until then everything was word of mouth, with limited communication. The printing press was able to disseminate information, ideas, and all events on a mass level. It elevated mankind%26#039;s knowledge, and produced change by informing the populace of news. Large numbers of sheets of paper were able reach more people faster. It helped bring the world closer and where would we be today, if it hadn%26#039;t spread ideas and information about technology, science and medicine. Personally, I couldn%26#039;t live without my issues of Popular Mechanics. :)

What is the gretest world changing invention?
What is the greatest world changing invention? It could be the Automobile, Printing Press, Light bulb, Electricity, the Wheel, Computers, Telephone, the internet, or even something else|||I would have to go with the lever! Sure the board, or whatever is used as the arm, and the stone, or whatever is used as the fulcrum, were discovered and not invented. But using them as a tool was an invention.
Yay for lever!
Or perhaps the inclined plane... Hmm...|||wheel|||Electricity!|||Soap|||Without question, it%26#039;s electricity. Without electricity there would be no auto, no computer, no internet, no telephone.|||i would not classify the wheel and electricity as inventions but discoveries more akin to fire. Knowing this I would have to say writing/reading is the greatest invention, being able to record our knowledge and information for future generations. and writing would include drawings and pictures, reading is just the interpretation of writing|||There have been many great, world-changing inventions and discoveries throughout human history. These are some:
o making fire o computers
o horticulture o powered flight
o agriculture o assembly line
o bronze o automobile
o writing o gunpowder
o steam engine o moveable type
Some actually kicked off revolutions that completely changed how we live (such as the Industrial Revolution) or became the main definition for an entire age of human culture (such as the bronze age and the space age.)
Some were ideas or belief systems (which are harder to trace to a specific point, but seemed to have caught on over relatively short periods), such as Christianity and democracy.

y??
all media converged !!!
affordable!!
portable!!
simple to use...
the list goes on ...and u can come up with soooo many advantages...|||The shopping trolley we drag on wheels i used to hate pulling my heavy shopping home and pushing a pram on wheels has well has trying to keep a toddler safe has well. so i do say the wheel.|||The telephone.
It lets people communicate.
everything id easier
people are less distanced|||the computer, without it you would not be answering this question|||All inventions change the world for the better , except for some like the AK-47 !
To say that any one invention is the greatest invention , is like saying Newton was the greatest scientist ; probably he was , but only till Einstein came along !
A lot of inventions have built on other inventions ; in fact the greatest world changing invention may be Man%26#039;s decision to pursue the scientific path ; but for that we would still be little more than animals !|||The Cotton Gin- which helped to herald in the coming of the Industrial Age, allowing more cotton to be grown cheaper, thereby increasing the need to better and faster spinning wheels and looms....|||To the extent that inventions tend to stand on the shoulders of earlier inventions (and may therefor be innovations), I agree with Milton. The invention of language and writing led to the dissemination of knowledge without which other inventions are unlikely to have occurred.|||All of them are equally important, but I would have to say the printing press.

This is the greatest communication tool ever.|||MONEY!!!!! A standardized medium of exchange that is a good store of value and has a wide acceptability for any transactions is the greatest invention. Imagine living in a world where the only way to obtain the goods that we want is through barter. Money as well as other modern methods of payment (ie. credit cards) simplify a lot of things in our daily lives (provided that we are not too greedy ourselves).
