    What in your opinion is the best invention still in use today?

    My own favorite is the bicycle!!!  


    UPDATE (04/08/2012 UK):


    Well done and a big thank you to the cyclists of Britain's olympic team for their gold medals and showing just how good my favourite invention is. Fantastic.

                          I am sure that on another day I would opt for your suggestion without any hesitation. Astronomy is mind-boggling, truly awesome and with todays telescopes (Hubble for example ) we get a glimpse of stars and matter from many light-years away too incredible for us to comprehend.

                          Thanks for reminding me.

                                          I am far from being an expert. Nonetheless, kissing is something that requires too people to adjust to each other for both to enjoy. A great western invention.
