Yeah guitar is awsome but i would have to say the Internet....

What would the world be like without internet

There are a lot of great inventions. Guitar, Internet,... World would not be the same without only one of those. So, it is really difficult to say what it is. In my previous post, I said guitar because I couldn´t live without it. An Internet free life would be ok for me, however, I wouldn´t be that motivated...

It's an interesting question. I'll have to say book printing (Gutenberg). If we count out the guitar for a moment...

With a guitar invented it would be no fun with invention of electricity or amps or microphones or drums etc.

Nothing on its own is very useful. Internet without invention of computers. Computers without discovery of electricity.

The wheel!

I would say Money (and or bartering) - it allows us to store up work in a useful form so that we don't have to spend all our time searching for food and finding firewood. We therefore have more time to play the guitar!

Language.
What would be of us without it?

Posted by: Canis Nov 7 2008, 07:45 AM

I agree: Plumbing in general!!

Posted by: Rooks Nov 7 2008, 07:56 AM

the coffee must be the greatest invention..(not the bean itself more the hot fluid of pure brain energy surge)
I am sure nothing else important would have been invented without it.

Posted by: Koopid Nov 7 2008, 10:04 AM

The wheel, without which not much of the other inventions would exist
