Discussion If you could become the creator of any invention that's already in creation, what would you create?

So, we already have pre-existing inventions, right? Like the light bulb. We all know Thomas Edison as the person who created that. Or how Charles Babbage is considered 'the father of computer', depending on where you live, exactly.

Now, my question is, if you could create one of those same inventions, but under your name, which one would you create and why?

ex. I would create the light bulb so as to be regarded as highly as Thomas Edison was....

 

The rice cooker, because rice is the most important thing in this universe.

 

You are Asian, or what? But I guess I can see your point. Imagine having the citizens of the most populated country (I believe it is China) look up to you or basically an entire continent look up to you....

 

Exactly, I would have chosen the toaster, but I’m Asian, so I went with rice instead. I eat it much more often than toast.

 

You have a toaster? I'm too much of a cheapskate, so I usually just put some bread on a plate and put it in the microwave.... it makes it easy to toast.....

 

Microwaves make for the worst toasters ever. You're better off putting it in a pan with some butter.

 

Yes, I do that. I've tested it multiple times. I've done it hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of times. And my experiments have had this result: microwave>pan with butter.

 

Microwave gives me hard bread that tastes somewhat like rusk.

 

Toasters give me no bread at all because I don't have them. So, because of its usefulness, a microwave is a much better option than a toaster. I would have loved to create it.

 

I agree with that. Microwaves are way more useful that toasters.

I'd be the inventor of the dynamite. Maybe we'd be giving out the Sylvie Prize instead of Nobel Prizes.

 

I'd go for the internet or Google... does those count?
If not and you're looking for something more physical, then I choose compass! I really liked the design of it
