Thomas,
There is an old album written by Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. It is called the 1000 year old man. It is extremely funny, and we have heard it several times. We quote some of the lines still Carl Reiner interviews Mel (the 1000 year old man) on this very subject! Mel's answer is "Saran Wrap". It was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw your question...I will think about it, and comment back. A

Most fascinating? I've always been fascinated by fuel/oil use....as in, who was the first person to think "you know, I bet I could use these old dinosaur leftovers to heat my house.
Biggest marvel? We've visited the moon, have gone deep into sea, have created technology to connect the whole world.....yet we can't, as a civilization, keep a public restroom clean.

Some great answers so far.
Top answers: Electricity, Computers, Internet & Air & Space Travel.
My answer is MUSIC. I do not know anything that inspires me more, jogs a memory or supports any mood I'm in than music. Also, music involves mathematics, science (sound waves) & invention (instruments)and these days, the Internet & electricity-so it crosses over to many of your picks.

I like any reflection of art and technologies. But probably technologies are more important since even I learned to function without microwave, I like the rest of staff that makes our lives comfortable.

I like the answers by Praful Thakkar and Ronald Gombach. Communication and language really make everything possible.
If we could not communicate, we would have no Internet, no electricity, no wheel, no pc, no airplane, no music, no medicine and no freedom.

Quantum mechanics theory - and more recently the experiment that proved - that matter can actually be in two places at the same time, and that just observing a thing can actually change the reality of whatever you are observing.
