The wheel, the printing press, beer, the lever, beer, computers, beer, on and on......yawn. Let's get down to the really interesting stuff. ie those "small" inventions that we love/hate so much; those little things that you likely won't see discussed as such anywhere but you feel strongly about:

 

IMO:

 

BEST:

Duct tape

Velcro

Ziploc bags - esp love how many packaged things use these nowdays eg lunchmeat, frozen foods etc

nylons - make womens' legs look so much better

cans with a "pop top" ie don't need a can opener to open - why aren't all cans like this now?

keyless car lock openers

auto-inflate stuff for flat tires

 

WORST:

(men's) ties

that fn heavy clear plastic that many things come packaged in nowdays that takes a freakin chainsaw to get past (my latest example was a mouse for my PC)

those little condiment packets you get at fast food places

the lint brush thats like a big rolling piece of tape (the lint brush prior to it was useless)

I used to think that little "pill" shaver for clothes was great, but after getting older and buying better clothes (and clothes seemingly getting better) it seems to be N/A.

 

I'll add: the mute button. I could hardly watch TV (due to commercials) without it.

What the hell is a K-Cup (Are we talking like double D cup, but much larger?)

 

Best invention - Heated car seats

 

Worst invention - Ipod (I swear to god if i see one more person with those earphones on while driving I just might take them out.)

K-Cup is the coffee industries way of over-charging you for coffee you drink at home. I guess it's not a bad deal if you drink a cup or two a day like a normal person, but if you are a coffee addict like me :wacko: it can get pretty expensive.
