man's 5 top inventions

some people believe the civilisation of lost city of atlantis was far more superior than today in their technological advancement. it is all conjecture; and perhaps a baby of man's urge to always find unusual in very usual matters. in the civilisation we know of; we have come a long long way from the times since babylonians irrigated their legendary gardens; since egyptians constructed massive pyramids in nile valley and since romans built the finest roads all over mediterranean region. after the romans fell; the west was thrown into abject dark ages marred with social breakdown and natural disasters like plagues. west hardly ever fully acknowledges feats of the east. china has a history of achievements that are equally important, if not superior than the west. even india has contributed immensely for the good of mathematics in ancient times. but after all; it had to be west that really shaped the way of life as we know today. if somebody contradicts that; i have a sympathy for the biased minds.

topic of what are our top inventions / achievements so far as evolving civilisation is very interesting and has been debated over nad over again. i have my own list; with increasing importance;

1-advanced Medicine_diseases once fatal are no longer same
2-fast transport_journeys of months covered in hours
3-telecommunication_dream of talking remotely has realised
4-computing_to complement our weaknesses and make things better

and

5-electricity_ invention of all inventions in the whole history of mankind.
