What do I believe is the most important technological invention in history? Wow, that's a big question. My first thought is the telephone - especially before satellite. I have always been completely fascinated by the fact that two people can be in two different states, on two different side of the country (or father) and hear each other while they talk into a "phone." I've actually always wanted to do the "tin can" experiment like kids used to do - and tie two cans together with a string. I think the string is supposed to be knotted and through a hole in the bottom of each can, right? And then they stand many feet apart and while one person talks into one can, the other person on the other end hears his voice like he was standing right next to him. But I've never done it. Just seen it on an old episode of like "Leave It To Beaver" or something. Anyway, I'm fascinated by the speed and ease with which telephones make communicating with others.
Here are the technologies essential to my life:

*Cell Phone / Voice Mail / Text Messaging
Computer / Internet / Email / IMing
