and I guess the next one would be English, hehe.
we could have a parallel thread about bad inventions too, like … nuclear hand grenades etc
Good or bad, it does not matter. I just wanted people’s input. You folks are petty imaginative and I thought that I would ask. It is for a little project that I am interested in. No big thing, yet I will thank you in advance. It might be interesting as well if you included whether or not such things are/were good or bad in your opinion.
Cheers…
I think I would go with the Internal Combustion Engine. Good or Bad there are few things in History that have had such a far reaching effect as the good old Diesel and Otto-cycle engines.

Following the introduction of the horse collar to Europe by the 920s (and by 1000 AD at the latest), the use of horses for ploughing became widespread in Europe by the 12th century. Horses work roughly 50 percent faster than oxen. Using horses (and a slightly improved plow), peasant farmers could produce a surplus. A surplus gave them goods to trade at crossroads markets on weekends. Markets soon turned into towns. Towns meant some folks could give up farming and just make goods for sale. A proliferation of such goods meant some people could live purely by buying and selling. Hence the horse collar played a pivotal role in ending the feudal system and launching the rise of Europe.
