yes, btw you should have included combustion engine, power plants, steam engine, gun powder etc. as typical fields where our control over the technology of burning stuff shaped our world and our way to live

electricity = burning coal
You know what is the peak of technology?
I did a shit today and I wasn't sure about the smell. I can walk from my shitting area to a magic box on my table and describe the smell of my shit to it and thousands of pieces of information come back in an instant telling me what's wrong with me based on a vague description of the smell of my poo.

the engine, by far one of the most importand, most changing invention. Just think about it.

Entropy helped us a lot more than fire did.
