Re: Inventions That Change Our Lives.

Here's one that will make you fall of your chairs laughing. The Australian indigenous people..(Not sure which nation) invented a cure for cancer. ..When you've finished said laughter and if you're interested, I'll supply details. What in twenty seven kinds of buggery does it matter who invented what?..Can't you be proud of being British without having a ..you know the organ..measuring contest about it. We have all invented useful stuff and we all benefit from it. Sheeesh. Ex: What about spray on skin..for severe burns..invented in Western Australia by a British migrant surgeon..( female)..Nothing like a joint effort yeah?

Re: Inventions That Change Our Lives.

Humans are inherently a bit idle, and, since the mid 40s when the computer was invented, haven't really bothered to invent anything, in the belief that the number cruncher will do all the work thus allowing much Faffing.
