Well, neither water nor electricity are inventions ... they were just there, waiting to be found.

Life without television is actually possible, trust me ... you can actually sit down and eat a meal together at a table, not on your lap staring at the box. You can talk to one another, and even after a few years it can be quite interesting! You can read, sew, go for a walk, go to the pub (and hope it doesn't have a TV!).

Medicines/medical equipment has it in my book - anyone fancy an operation without anaesthetic? I rate my little blue pump which has kept me alive from time to time very highly! - salbutamol has got to be one of the best inventions around in my book. What about the artificial hip - ask anyone who has had a hip replacement.
