Assuming the harnessing of electricity is a given, I'd have to say the washer and dryer. Can you imagine going back to the days when it literally took two or three days to do laundry for a family of four? Yikes! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I love the computer. I love having instant access to my friends. I love being able to take a picture on my camera and look at it straight away. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I agree with Sue that it's great to see photos straight away! I can do without the washer-I would gladly take the washing to a nearby river and launder it there, but hey, I need the laptop!!
