Inventions






The world is full of inventions. Some good, and some bad, and some are good and bad! Aeroplanes are good examples. They can take us to very nice places, and they can drop bombs on our heads. Good and evil! Night and day!

So, what does Maxi B. Acs say? He says that the best invention ever is the pencil- case, it is a good place for his pencils. And, what does Helga Indra say? Her favourite invention is the mobile phone – she can speak all-day-long to her friends!

But, many people believe that the computer is the most important invention of all. I don't agree. I believe that the wheel is the most important invention of all! Life without it would be impossible!
