iPhone Listed as One of the Most Important Inventions Ever

A study made in the UK asked 4000 persons in the age between of 18 and 65 which are the world’s most important inventions ever. And (surprisingly?) the iPhone is placed on number 8 of this list, just below of “penicillin”.

The study was performed by Tesco Mobile and in the top of the list you can find: the wheel, aero plane and the light bulb. Just below of those three is Internet and PCs. Apple’s iPhone placed in number 8, just after penicillin and one place more important than the “flushing toilet” (?).
