What do you think was the greatest invention of all times?

Time didn't really matter in the sense of 10am until the invention (and use of) trains though.
I'm thinking something more along the lines of a tool that allowed things to be manufactured that weren't possible before. Maybe a Vernier scale?Time was no more invented than was gravity. Maybe clock for mesuring time accurately was a great invention but not time it's self.
.
Well according to history time was there from the very beginning, it obviously was never invented maybe god invented it but that's not the point, time can be measured in different sort of tools, in my post i wasn't being specific the tool that measures time like your time glass or the most commonly known tool, the clock and believe me there are many ways to measure time i was not sure which tool was the first and how did the idea develop or which measuring tool gave birth to what measuring tool, here in Africa they used to spit on the floor when they send you to the shop and they would expect you to be back from the shop before the spit actually dries up, if you got there when the spit is dried up then you were late, that's not an invention but it is a discovery and it measured time there probably could be more i just trying to make a catchy phrase and obviously when you say time what comes to your mind is the clock.
I think you guys are making sense of this post out of the replies you seeing here."It's better to try and fail than to fail to try." Unkown

Oh good one. A formalised way to purpose, and test ideas has been one of he biggest impacts on the rate of development increasing so signifently in the last few hundred years.
Logic is also another good on and is what he scientific method is based on.
These lead people to theorise that the motion of stars in the sky and an apple falling from a tree were linked. People started to see science as a logical system and not random. So the likes of electricity and radio could be harnessed and the explosion of inventions we have seen could happen.- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

I am asking you out of curiosity because in my world I've never heard anyone who does, i thought it would be interesting know someone who does study rocket science, you know these terms about rocket science.
Well... I have worked with rocket scientists in the past, at a U.S. Army missile range in the Pacific. But this topic never came up LOL.
I still go with the Saturn V rocket. Millions of moving parts that withstood virtually every harsh environment imaginable, the cold of space and the heat of takeoff/atmospheric exit, and kept people alive throughout it all.
Jeff Bezos actually founf the F1 rocket motors on the ocean floor last March.

Interestingly a 4 stroke combustion enginee has more moving parts than a basic rocket engine. Personal I think the curiosity rover is a far more amazing machine. Launched on a rocket that could shake most machines to peices. With a full laboratory bench full of instruments sensitive to the tiniest misalignments. With Intelegents to allow it to carry out a complex ballet of manovours including hovering in an unknown atmosphere while winching down the lander from a stable platform. All completely automonusly.
As a scientist I think it's incredible we can design and build such a thing and it works first time perfectly. SatanV was of course on of the machines that lead the way, but really it was a very manually controlled device. With little real computing power, for all its size it was glorified firework. Which takes nothing away fro the fact that firework put man on the moon and brought them back. But for complexity combined with reliability and autonomy, the current crop of space probs have it hands down.
And how about voyager, left our solar system this week, how crazy is that than man invented built and launched such a thing. So long ago and still working as intended. And it took this picture from 6billion miles away!!!!!

Yeah i vote for that, don't mind getting paid doing that the whole day that's one of my best hobbies.

Going back time and history from the first technological invention, in your own opinion what do you think was the greatest/best innovation that was invented in IT and abroad in technology?
-In my opinion i think, time was the best invention of all time, because it brought order and control of periods, if there was no time i would wake up at 10am to get prepared for work. What is yours?
Evilution created the greatest invention of all time: sexual reproduction. Before that life just wasnt worth livin. -

I am not so sure that electricity was "Invented" so much as discovered...
