      Hi Bennyy!

      Of course I’m biased, but I think the computer is the most significant invention of our time. It has had a huge impact on society – we can’t imagine living without it anymore! – in less than 100 years, and more importantly, the end of where it will take us isn’t even in sight!

      The internet – it has completely changed the way we all live and work, and for science has changed not just how we do things but what kind of things we can do as well!

      Hi Bennyy!

      I agree with both Willem and Kev… Computers and the internet have transformed science for the better! In my particular field of research (microbiology) the microscope is by far the most important invention! And some of the microscopes that are out there today are just mind blowing!

      Hope that helps! Don’t forget to vote!
