Inventions have moved the world for thousands of years. There have been good inventions and then there have been great inventions. What makes an invention great? An invention is great if it has greatly improved our quality of life. These can be big or small inventions, the size does not matter. Only the size of the change really makes a difference between good and great inventions. A prime example of a great invention is the wheel.

The wheel was one simple invention that has been the stepping-stone for many others. Without the wheel, many common inventions would not have been possible, like the clock. An example of a small but great invention would be fingernail clippers. Small little invention that is used by everyone on the planet. Both great inventions even though there is much difference in their sizes.

We have had some inventions for so long we forget they are inventions at all and take them for granted. This is because they have gone from conveniences to necessities in our minds. We cannot imagine life without these luxury/ necessities. A prime example of this would be indoor plumbing. Just the thought of an outhouse brings home how important inventions are to our quality of life.

A few great inventions:
•    Electricity
•    Airplanes
•    Automobiles
•    Medicines

•    Video games
•    Television
•    Computers
•    Plastic
•    CD’s


This is just a small sampling of the great inventions that have changed our lives and our world; we have the best quality of life in history. There are many more inventions that have changed out lives. It should be noted that a great invention does not have to be something spectacular and earth shattering it simply needs to have a positive affects on life.

Examples of great inventions also include comfortable furniture like that pillow top bed that leaves you not having to count sheep every night to sleep. New fabrics in stylish clothes and wonderful shoes can all be examples of great inventions. They make life comfortable in some instances and just plain fun in others.


Day after day, our technology grows and expands; a new generation of inventors will stand upon the inventions of their ancestors and take that technology to heights we can only dream about. Our children’s future may very well depend on the next great invention. If you doubt that take a long look at the inventions that have changed your generation and ask yourself where would we be without them?
