Which was more important: the invention of the wheel or the invention of the lever? Penicillin or the transistor? Can’t tell, right? Well, this is a subjective question. There may be different perspectives on this.

But the fact is that we, as humans, have worked hard. We have been working hard to make our lives easier. Machinery and mechanisms. Big or small. All have contributed. We are contributing each day. Knowingly or unknowingly.

The soul of the world evolves. It moves with time. And it does take strides sometimes. That’s why we say some inventions are more important than others.

And do you know one characteristic phenomenon? After each great invention, a new era follows in the history of mankind. But still, one can’t ignore the contribution of those small steps. The not-so-great inventions directly or indirectly contribute to the important ones. And there remains no record of that. Life goes unnoticed. Many-a-times.
