What’s the best invention in the past one hundred years?
There are many inventions that have made in the past one hundred years. Among them, I would say computer is the best invention because before it was created, people get information with traditional ways like newspaper, broadcast and television. It’s no doubt that these kinds of products are also important, but computer is the most one in my mind. In some way, computer helps people deal with a lot of affairs, and its fast calculation ability makes things done efficiently. I am not a computer buff, but I keep learning it all the time. Sometimes it’s not easy for the elderly, they are still into using traditional ways to do things, such as writing words with pen, reading materials made by papers. Most elderly can’t get into the habit of using computers and phones. But now the young generation are used to playing on them.
