6. RANKING
 The most important invention, in my opinion, is Microsoft Windows. Without
this operating system, it is possible that the invention of the world wide web could
have been delayed. That fact that the vast majority of the population uses this
operating system is an indication as to how important it really is. Second in
importance is definitely the world wide web. This invention has allowed
businesses to grow as people do not need to leave their homes to shop. Third in
importance is the MRI as it helps people get diagnosed with a better accuracy to
help save lives. I ranked the atomic bomb last as I don’t like how many innocent
people were killed by this weapon.
