What's the most important invention of the last 50 years? Don't say Internet, it doesn't count with ARPANET
>>8070073
iPhone.
Not even joking
>>8070073
Mechanical fucking machines.
Now so many intelligent and dedicated men are free to advance the human race instead of having to spend that time fucking your mum.
>>8070073
TCP/IP protocol

>What's the most important invention of the last 50 years? Don't say the most important invention of the last 50 years, btw, it doesn't count
What did he mean by this?
>it's a video game, dad
3d printers. Not too important right now as it's still being developed. But in 50 year there will be a machine in every home that can make anything you need out of waste or recycled material.
>>8070073
the transistor
plastic and plastic accessories
wireless energy
cognitive theoretic model of the universe
LEDs
donald trump
The Fleshlight, of course.
>>8070176
>last 50 years
>>8070073
The microprocessor, invented in 1968.
>>8070073
4chan
>>8070193
That's basically 50 years.
I would say the iPhone.
>>8070207
I counter with Li-ion batteries
Trump memes.
And I don't mean those low energy Reddit ones.
I mean the dank ones.
>>8070073
The Lone Gunman theory.

Not OP
>>8070079
pfffff
>>8070081
ayyy
>>8070085
So basically, the internet. Sounds reasonable
>>8070170
>3d printers
yeah, sure.
>>8070176
those are all 50+, 50 years ago is the late 60s, in 4 years will be the 70s...
HOLY SHIT
>>8070187
I don't have one. Yet. But I think you must be right.
>>8070193
It was achieved, but it was theorized way before, no?
>>8070195
>using that reddit tier imageboard
>>8070219
another strong candidate
>>8070258
I ask myself how people will portray us in 50 years
telegraph
tokamaks
superconductors
multijunction photovoltaics
magnetocaloric refrigeration
interpreters
polyphonic synthesizers and bellbottom jeans
the list goes on
Gonna need a definition on "important". Because what's revolutionary in, say, math, means fuck all to the world at large.
>>8070384
the fuck are you talking about? name one invention listed here that would exist without revolutionary math.
>>8070386
But do they use math invented in the last 50 years, anon?
>>8070390
probably somewhere. i mean tropical geometry must help growing nice tangerines.
>>8070386
I suppose when I say you're right about that, you're going to insist that magnetocaloric refrigeration means something other than fuck all to the world at large?
>>8070402
you're suggesting the ability to manipulate below freezing temperatures without the need of a liquid nitrogen based heat exchanger is somehow fuck-all-tier out of all things in that list?
Polymerase Chain Reaction
Deep neural networks
>>8070073
My dick
>>8070073
Probably Google.
Spacex
Supercomputer
Tinder
chicken nuggets
>>8070370
Wowww your so popular replying to all youre friend'Os
Dank Souls senpai desu kawaii desu desu
Internet obviously
MRI
robot swarm AI
>>8070073
Smartphone.
It combines many advanced devices into handheld one, and is very essential in first world countries. Relatively to their price, they use very advanced technology.
Common Core
About time whitey stopped holding us down.

Gekko LFEX orbital lazers. They can rape anything on Earths surface with perfect accuracy.

I was going to say superconducting magnets but apparently the first one was made in 1955.
>>8070073
the abortion pill. Imagine if you mom had access to it... she could still spread her legs like she loves it, but we would avoid having you.
>>8070073
The wheel
>>8070073
Computer chairs.
>>8070527
This is one of the big ones for sure
transistor, duh
only 60 years ago was the working implementation, but it's more like a timelessly primitive concept, see also wheel
The microwave
>>8077518
more like most irresponsible invention
Nothing new has been created in the last fifty years, only reproduced, repurposed, or improved.

The Internet. The greatest invention of Humanity. This invention abolishes time and space for every humans. You can't top it.
>>8070073
I like that picture.
He's like, "What the fuck are you doing?"
>>8077689
Basically the only acceptable answer.
>>8070073
the birth control pill
basically it's the one invention that will bring down western civilization as we know it
>>8070170
Dank meme.
Literally nothing.
There hasn't been a single qualitative change in human life ever since money-worshiping systems (Capitalism and Socialism) have taken over the world.
I wonder why...
>>8070073
bluetooth, you gotta think about it
The Microprocessor
Me
>>8070073
>GPS
>PCR
>GMO's
>Also smart phones because they'll continue to have a profound impact on society, law, psychology, business, etc. but that's only because of the internet.
