What is your favorite modern invention?

‎08-24-2014 12:49 PM

I was born ion 1949. As a kid growing up we did not have a TV - though the lady across the street used to allow us to watch Howdy Doody after school at her house. Of course all the modern things younger folks take for granted now a days were not invented yet back then.We got our first computer as a gift from my Uncle around 1988 - he got one for everyone in the family so we could all e mail each other. Microwave came along around 1990. Cell phone - first one was a bag phone and it was also right around the early 90's.

I would say my favorite new invention is the microwave or the internet. I drink a lot of tea so I use the MW a lot and I do love keeping in touch with family and friends via the internet. Come to think of it I also really use texting a whole lot too. I suppose I like ALL the modern inventions.

Probably the internet. My mom got a microwave in 1971 or 1972.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Besides the internet and cell phone, I would have to say the dishwasher.

The microwave came with the house and is the stovetop's ventilation system or I wouldn't have one either probably.
