Best Commodity/invention?
« on: June 12, 2003, 02:54:43 PM »
Hey, I was cruising on the highway going to a job, lookign at the white stripes fly one by one by one at a high rate ... then I though:"Boy! am I lucky not to have to walk, only 30 miles, but it would take me for ever. Not even talking about hauling all the equipment in the back".

Then ... because I was really borred ... I kept thinking:"  What am I the most used to, and would not live without? "

My car?
Electricity in my house?
Phone?
Turning a valve and have drinkable water not having to walk 3 miles to a whel?
Be able to froze my food?
To have a credit card instead of a bag of cash?
To be able to see the world as it unfolds from home?

It's hard to tell as most inventions interact with each other, maybe a modern comodity more than an invention...

I don't know. I would say my car, I always had the need for "What's over there?" and sure my car feeds my curiosity.

don't know what I couldn't do without. but 2 of my most favorite fairly recent inventions are-

those grooves on the shoulder of the road that wake you when you start to leave the road.

and the postage stamps you don't have to lick

What? You are telling me that hitting a tree at 80 mph doesn't wake you up?

Electricity.

I've been without it for a few days at a time after hurricanes/storms.  Makes you appreciate it greatly.

SFRT - Frenchy: ...then I though:"Boy! am I lucky not to have to walk, only 30 miles, but it would take me for ever.

 Don't you think the fact that you have to work 30 miles drive from where you live may have resulted from the availability of cars and highways in the first place?
