I've got to vote for sharp, disposable syringes.

I will second that vote, and I'll throw a vote for insulin in, too.

Insulin? Oh, yeah, Insulin!

What are you using the syringes for, Randy?

Did you forget to take your insulin, then?

Just about everything that is already mentioned in the previous posts.

Here's an interesting idea for a new thread: which things you can't live without that didn't have any real advances or noticable improvements over the last 50 years?

If I think about it, I can't even properly respond my own question...

Doorknobs.

Has to be the Internet- or else many of us would still be wandering in the woods of multi cartridge hell!

Plus, look at all the wonderful people we have come to know on this site alone- how would that have been possible years ago?

My two votes for the most significant inventions are the transistor and the automatic transmission.

The former is by far the most important. I recall reading (in 1998!) that they were being produced at the rate of 500,000,000 per second, and are the only item man has ever made to number in the quadrillions.

The latter has allowed everyone to drive, including the 99% that shouldn't.


I said significant, not good.
