Greatest invention of all time. Scientists surveyed said the Gutenberg moveable prlnting press was.?

I agree with the printing press.  But the computer is a VERY close second.

If you have the encarta encyclopedia program on your computer they have a list of inventions.  Just type in notable Inventions and Discoveries and it will bring up a table with all the info you need.

I just did a science project with my 8 yr old son. We made a "block and tackle" pulley system. We showed how pulleys reduced the effort it takes to lift objects. It was a hit. Everyone was dieing to try it. Little girls and grown men alike were pulling the ropes.

Since the 21st Century started in 2000, the computer and internet would not be a vaild response. I believe the greatest invention is the i-Pod. :)

Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (c. 1398 – c. February 3, 1468) was a German metal-worker and inventor who achieved fame for his contributions to the technology of printing during 1447, including a type metal alloy and oil-based inks, a mould for casting type accurately, and a new kind of printing press based on presses used in wine-making. The exact origin of Gutenberg’s first presses is apparently unknown, and several authors cite his earliest presses as adaptations of heavier binding presses which were already in use. Tradition credits him with inventing movable type in Europe — an improvement on the block printing already in use there. By combining these elements into a production system, he allowed for the rapid printing of written materials, and an information explosion in Renaissance Europe. Yet, it must be noted that an iron printing press was first invented by Korea's Goryeo dynasty in 1234, 216 years ahead of Gutenberg's feat in 1450.

What the best English translation is, I can't tell, but I can give you a link a translation online. Maybe the best translation don't exist online:\nProject Gutenberg got a translation by Swami Paramananda

I would say printing in the form of history books, biographies and other educational printing.\n\nPrinting is one of the oldest technologies and is rapidly becoming passe.

I was wondering about this earlier today.  I think we're stuck with paper for quite a while since it's so cheap, but it's conceivable that we would eliminate it relatively soon.  Personally, I really like the idea of having something tangible in my hands with real pages that I can turn.  I was reading some Shakespeare today and I thought, "Wow, if I had a palm pilot, I could just download the text to it and I wouldn't have to waste paper or latch myself to my computer."  So what if one day we all went around carrying big sheets of plastic folded up like newspapers and whatever we wanted to read we could download to them?  Scientists are working on creating cheap, thin, clear "screens", so it's not entirely science fiction.  Paper will probably be around for a long time, but I think it would be interesting to look up whether paper waste has gone down even in recent years just with the popularization of the internet.

This is sort of like the chicken and/or the egg. But The principle (undoubtedly) was discovered, but the implementation of the object was invented - ie it is the combination of axle, hub, and bearing that is the invention, allowing a wheel to be attached to a cart or similar, to make it useful.\n\n The idea of perpetual motion is nothing new. It was discovered and proven in the beginning of the 18 century. The invention was a working system using the gravity force to power the wheel. This made the inventor famous in history. \n\nThus, in summation, I firmly believe that the wheel was discovered just by observing nature but the axle, etc was invented.
