It's too early to tell.
Could be the computer for this age.
Before the computer it was probably the wheel.
>>59694306
sharpened rock
>>59694512
uh...
>>59694277
Information storage devices. From stone tablets to SSD today.
The sewer. Good sanitation systems keeps shit out of the street
>>59694343
this
>>59694277
fire.
Don't know, but the printing press is probably up there in terms of importance.
>>59694277
Writing systems, followed by the Haber-Bosch process.
The lowly plow, although it isn't much appreciated anymore it (in my opinion), is the most important because it allowed us to efficiently prepare our land for farming and other needs and without it, food couldn't be made efficiently for the growing populations thereby hindering the population and causing later inventions to not exist
Weapons. Like it or not, this is how we learn.
>>59694277
Masturbation
>>59694277
this has been extensively researched
the answer: REFRIGERATION
>>59694343
Not proven yet. Transistors will only be our most important physical development if we use them to produce an AI with greater general intelligence than us.
>>59696345
Refrigeration isn't essential. You can cure meat, jar vegetables/fruits, etc. There are many ways to preserve at room temperature. Refrigeration is merely convenient.

/thread
>>59694277
The ability to delete your thread after it's been /thread multiple times.
>>59697273
OP couldn't delete the thread if he wanted to. After 5 minutes it's there to stay
>>59697295
I smell innovation!
why did no one say transistor yet
>>59697504
They did, dumbass.
>>59694512
Why are there dpads in her hair?
Femanon here. It's the vibrator. Trust me.
printing press
Opposable thumb
>>59697989
in the cavewoman days they just used small animals and scared them a lot
>>59694277
Mathematics.
Any other answer is fucking retarded.
>>59694277

Not really technology, just a very useful and adaptable way to organize abstract thoughts and model physical phenomena.

>eating bread at all
people really do this?

Yes, in some places on Earth you can actually buy fresh tasty bread. I suppose that's not available to a lot of murricans who can only get plastic "bread" and therefore hate it.
>>59694277
GENTOO
Agriculture marked the first step of developing villages, cities and civilization.
>>59701516
We can buy fresh bread at pretty much every super market.
We just don't buy it all the time because it goes bad too fast.
>>59701516
I'm not american (:
Agriculture and mathematics are not technologies you retards. We're talking about actual physical things
>>59701585
Real breads doesn't get bad fast tho.... I know people in the countryside who don't eat bread for a month or so after making it, real bread does get better with some time
Wheel.
Then alloys.
>>59702376
That's bullshit. I make bread all the time and it's inedible after maybe two weeks.
>>59702420
That's for large chunks of bread.
Baguettes get hard after 1-2 days at most when left in the open.
>>59702226
why can't a process be a technological advance?
