I think it is medicine. This is because antibiotics can cure diseases and help our bodies to take precaution against them. The light bulb, becase it allows man to have more hours to work everyday. In other words, it contributes in other inventions. City University. If there were no City University I would have no place to study. Hence, for me, it is the most important invention.

Electricity is an imperative invention. It allows us to use all forms of machines. It also leads to the growth of industries. Everyone benefits from it. The computer, as it facilitates all word processing, it saves us time and effort. Technology and industry have progressed much from it. I think the watch is the most important invention because everyone needs it, and it affects our living schedule and controls what we do every day.
