At our family “git-to-gether” a few (20) years ago my 96 year old Grandmother gathered all of her Great and Great – Great Grand kids around and asked each what they thought the greatest invention in “Her” life time was. Answers ranged from T.V. to satellites to cell phones and computers. She looked at them very thoughtfully and said that she thought it was electricity with out which none of their ideas would have come to be. You should have seen the stunned looks on their faces.
