Reminds me of another forum where the question was about what you think the best invention ever was. Ignoring the obvious things like fire and wheel or iron smelting, I suggested the printing press. It helped spread ideas and influence learning and took literacy away from the elite and clerics and put it into the masses. Possiblyimo the biggest contributor to mass civilization. Another poster retorted "yes but think of the first thing it was used for" [printing the bible] and I had to conceed the point lol
