BTW.Ivoted for the internet.It´s what will one day lead to a world in which a god is in fact a realistic concept.Only that we´ll not consider us a god then.

Btw. I think any of those was inevitable as soon as life started to develop on this rock.With evolution as the resumption of the physical and mathmatical laws of the known universe,we do not REALLY have any choice...

I say writing because without it history would technically never have begun. Not to mention many important discoveries would have been lost and, well, the internet is based on writing as we use text to communicate. So, writing's probably the most important thing we've invented so far!

Good call :D The only way w eknow anything about history before photographs and film is through what was written. Eve pictures only show us what happened. They rarely explain where or when :nod:

And the very definition of history is the time when things started to be written down.
