Inventions
The
world is full of inventions. Some good, some bad, and
some good and bad! Aeroplanes are very good examples. They
can take us to very nice places, and, they can drop bombs on our
heads. Good and evil! Night and day!
So,
what does Maxi B. Acs say? He says that pencil cases are the
most useful inventions he knows. He always knows where his pencils
are.
And,
what does Helga Indra say? Her favourite invention is the mobile
phone. She can speak all-day-long to her friends!
But,
for many people,
the computer is the most important invention of all. I
don't agree. I believe the wheel is the most important of
all! Wheels make life very easy. Imagine a car with no wheels.
