Re: What is your favorite modern invention?

Aside from all the wonderful medical advances, my top pics are really basic.

I'd give prizes to the person who came up with the gift bags! My wrapping skills are non-existent, besides it takes forever. Additionally, you can re-use the bags which we do!

Second and just as wonderful are the tops to detergent bottles, fabric softeners, etc. that catch any remaining product and allow it to flow back into the container.

The microchip that Texas Instruments invented in the 1950s, which led to the development of personal computers, smart phones, smart keys for my car, and ever so many other things necessary in my work and in the modern world, from the space shuttle to better hearing aids.

Edited to correct the date: it was 1958, not the early 1970s.

The Internet, for sure, in regard to my current and past living situations.

It enabled (es) me to take better care of my cat companions' health, safety, and quality-of -life, as well as my own.

Hmm Id say all the advanced technology in the medical world. Followed by modern ways to listen to music, (even though I still prefer vinyl), air conditioning, and more recently 3D printers (are going to be huge one day soon).
