Greatest invention of all time?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... the INTERNET 
What the heck would we all be doing right now without it

The most important inventions of all time have not been invented yet. Or they have but they are be oppressed by the big tycoons that controll things.
Example: Can't confirm it but someone came up with a solution that could run an engine on a thimble full of gas and somehow react with water.
Another one is using perpetual motion to run a generator by using weights and counter weights. I was thinking on ways to do this myself and thought of this same idea/ Two months later I saw it on the Discovery channel. The guy had been running it for 15 years. Yet scientists refuse to acknowledge his achievment.
If these are ever put on market then government and oil tycoons would loose to much money,
Oh and don't ask me to back up what I just said please lol
I just beleive that there are all kinds of inventions just waiting to sirface.

as soon as I saw the title of this thread I was thinking that... but it seems you have beaten me to it, and for that, I salute you.

It seems to me that the greatest invention of all time would be COMMUNICATION, were would we be without it.

Early Tools. It was the frist step to what we are today

I saw that invention your talking about I think. the guy had a small car and a small one cylinder engine in it,The engine ran at the same speed all the time and turned a big wheel which turned a pump and provided power to the wheels,while braking the energy was reversed and stored back as pressure in the hydraulic tank to be used again for forward motion.
I think the same idea would work better with electric wheel motors but you would need lots of batteries to store any energy used in braking.
Best invention though is the net,just ask Al Gore,he invented it.

Is that a form of communication?

That's a tool used for communication.
I don't think communication itself is an invention, but certainly are the tools we've created for that purpose.

Invention
n 1: the creation of something in the mind [syn: innovation, excogitation, conception, design] 2: a creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation [syn: innovation] 3: the act of inventing

I have a dictionary, thanks 
Wat I'm saying is humans did not consciously invent communication. It's a characteristic of all higher forms of life... Ants communicate to each other using scent trails. Dogs communicate with their tails. Monkeys communicate using their feces.
As far as human language is concerned, I don't think that it's a conscious human invention, either... it's a sort of evolved form of communication.

Would you classify written word in that category or would you classify it as an invention.
Myself I view mathematics as our greatest invention because virtually everything springs from it.
