What is the best invention ever ...invented?
Answers:
You have to discount the benefits each invention provides to mankind with the harm that the same invention has also done to mankind.
For example, the hypocrite Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, saying it would be used to benefit mankind in mining industries. What actually happened was that it ushered in a new age of horror as warfare became more deadly than ever before. The survivors of warfare no longer bore mere scars, but were incredibly disfigured and crippled. (Nobel tried to make up for what he had done by establishing the Nobel 'peace' prize.)
As we have been told since childhood, fire is both friend and foe. It heats our homes and has also been used to murder. The lever, the wheel, the inclined plane, the screw, the pulley, the wedge, have all been used as instruments of torture, or to build still more complicated weapons.
Even language itself is used to harm; we speak of 'cutting remarks' and just because they cause emotional injury, the harm is still real, the pain is still as lasting as that of physical damage.
Nuclear power.? Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Space travel.? Directly based on intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the crushing terror of the Cold War.
Clothing? It provokes jealousies and drives millions to slavery at the hands of the fashion industries.
With this understanding, I think that the invention which has done MORE to ALLEVIATE human suffering-- and, at the same time-- has been used LESS OFTEN to CAUSE human suffering than any other invention is: the humble toothpick.
