RANKING
The most important invention, in my opinion, is Microsoft Windows. Without this operating system, it is possible that the invention of the world wide web could have been delayed. That fact that the vast majority of the population uses this operating system is an indication as to how important it really is. Second in importance is definitely the world wide web. This invention has allowed businesses to grow as people do not need to leave their homes to shop. Third in importance is the MRI as it helps people get diagnosed with a better accuracy to help save lives. I ranked the atomic bomb last as I don’t like how many innocent people were killed by this weapon.
