Toothbrush tops invention survey

Students, adults asked which tool they couldn’t live without

MSNBC

Jan. 21 — What’s more important, your toothbrush or your computer? The answer seems obvious, but what if the question becomes: “Which could you not live without?” A survey released Tuesday found that the lowly toothbrush beat out computers, cars, cell phones and microwaves as the “must-have” tool.

Was curious as to what Freepers think are inventions that we can't live without.

As to the "Toothbrush"...it must have been invented by someone in North Carolina. Otherwise, it would be called a "Teethbrush". :)
