television, although it is recent, it has effected man kind throughout the world greatly, changing the way we see the world, and the way politics are decided, as seen in the kenedy nixon debate, tv viewers gave it to kenedy but radio listeners said nixon won it
....so it goes....
Without electricity there wouldn't be any television.

Marxism
"A slave-owner who through cunning and violence shackles a slave in chains,
and a slave who through cunning or violence breaks the chains—
Let not the contemptible eunuchs tell us that they are equals before a court of morality!"

The sooner this party is formed, and the reactionists find themselves face to face with the Socialists, the better. For whatever checks it may meet with on the way, it will get to its goal at last and Socialism will melt into society.

How about the steam engine or the thing that came before the steam engine.

An idiot can ask so many questions it will take years to reply. So if I don't reply to your posts it's probably why
What about the eradication of smallpox,

Could you say that Marxism was really discovered? Did Karl find it down the back of his couch one day?
I would have to say the most important discovery/invention of the last hundred years would have to be Milton Keynes.
Political Compass:
Socio/Economic -12.00
Liberal/Authoritarian: -12.00
Milton Keynes is a shithole.

I think that I am the most important discovery.
Actually probably the phone, wait discovery, um... I can't think.
Yes electricity is important, but it was discovered more then 200 years ago (the old Greeks knew about it).
They may have known about it but did they harness it for energy?
That's why I said electrical power.

And not a single person has mentioned the piston or turbine?
The piston is the basis of modern transportation and industry. The turbine was a major part of locomotion, and now leads in power production of all sorts. Hydroelectric? Turbine. Nuclear? Turbine. Coal? Turbine. Wind? Turbine. They all boil water and churn turbines, or use the motion of wind/water to turn turbines.

The most important discovery in the last 200 years? Difficult one...
I say the most important discovery in the last 200 years would be an intellectual one...
Perhaps Newton's Laws or Einstein's Theory of Relativity
Perhaps more prominant should be the Latex Condom of course.
Mazda would disagree
Adiel: How can you defend a country where 5 percent of the people control 95 percent of the wealth?
Lisa: I'm defending a country where people can think and act and worship any way they want!
Adiel: Cannot!
Lisa: Can to!
Adiel: Cannot!
Lisa: Can to!
Homer: Please, please, kids; stop fighting. Maybe Lisa is right about America being the land of opportunity, maybe Adiel has a point about the machinery of capitalism being oiled with the blood of the workers.
