You know, what the last great remarkable invention of this past decade is?
No, better. What's the last essential new invention you can think of, the last great life changer?
I was eating dinner when the subject suddenly came to mind.
Techno-geeks and nerds like to say every new gimmick that comes out is progress.
But lemme tell you, 3D TVs and high-definition is not a new invention. It's just improving on past tech and adding new stuff to sell more products everybody already has every three months.
Same goes for mobile phones with bigger and bigger data storage and faster tech. That's just phones that people try to sell to consumers who already owns those.
And personally I'm one of those guys who doesn't change phone until it breaks down in pieces totally. (that's why I only had three phones over these past decades)
Phones just got smaller, handheld, wireless and part-computer nowadays.
I'm talking to you about the actual last greatest invention of our generation.
Surely internet is that invention?
I mean, could you imagine life without internet?
Because I can.
Sure going back to a life without internet sounds horrible to most nerds and kids nowadays.
But it wasn't that long ago that internet got accessible to most family homes. But life existed before that. And it was perfectly fine.
I can understand how much of a game changer it has become for huge companies, the various industries and even governments/the army. But for us "little people"?
Similarly, video games are a whole new industry that didn't even exist not that many years ago.
It rivals with the film industry easily and easily surpasses literature and comics in sheer quantity of sales yearly and internationally.
As much as I adore videogames, I can easily see myself not play games for months.
Then what is that invention I'm looking for?
Computers?
Life as we know of didn't change that much... well actually it did.
But computers besides being multi-function machines are also beforehand simplifiers. Machines that simply tons of work that required a lot more input, effort and process before.
Life, work and most things you can do with computer nowadays already existed before computers. At least, I'm talking about the home computer here, not the grade-A NASA-type super-computer.
No.
In my eyes the last amazing achievement of manking was...
The kitchen scissors.
"But Eyz, all these paragraphs for this joke?"
Yeah. Totally worth it.
And you know it totally deserves that title.
It's a pair of scissors you can use.... in the kitchen!
You know, to cut your own food!
It's brilliant!
I was eating a piece of meat way too strong and solid to simply use my knife as usually. So I took that pair of scissors I often use for pizza and thought.. This is brilliant! Why don't I use those scissors more often in the kitchen.
Other than I'd look like a f*cking maniac in a restaurant?
It does get the job easier done afterall!
And that's when it occurred to me.
That is, truly, the last greatest invention of our generation!
(and it makes you look completely mental cutting food with a pair of scissors)
