Air conditioning. I remember Washington DC in the summer during the late fifties, early sixties and getting air conditioning for the first time. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. If it weren't for air conditioning, the southern states would have the same productivity rate as Central America. Hmm... maybe they do. I better check that.

Cell phone

The Thermos. Keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. But how does it know?

nice to see someone else besides me, call it that.
 just can't call it a dishwasher for some reason.


hmmm of convenience
well I'd say an Ice maker for one.
sure beats having to have it cut, packed in sawdust and hauled in. then only the rich folks could afford it.

I'd say Wheels for the next one. should be obvious.

next I'd say Boats.

planes?  nahhh not really. fun yes, kind of limited in what can be done with it. unless someone gonna make a net to fly along and catch Geese and Ducks.

guns/weapons? nahh I see that as being needed. so not in the catagory of a convenience.

Edit: sorry for the mis-spellings, just can't speel for crap today. blahhh I give up.

Me neither. I'm the 'dishwasher' whether it's manual or automatic.
The machine is definitely the convenient part, and worthy of not being left out.
