Mnogi su čitatelji zahvalni na Internetu kao cjelovit tehnološki napredak. Lee piše:
I’d probably have to say the Internet in general, because that has essentially inspired most most of the features in modern technology. Plus, I wouldn’t know nearly as much about tech now if I didn’t have access to the Internet.
Jim je posebno zahvalan na internetu:
The Internet. The information I’ve found and people I’ve met, (including my wife), have been life changing.
Nekoliko je čitatelja vratilo na osnove elektroničkog života. Suhail piše:
Integrated Electronics! This is what drives & will drive each & everything in our world..:-)
Guy Dols odražava osjećaj:
The NAND gate, without the NAND gate there would be no logical processing so no computers, no internet, no phones only lights bulbs and Morse communication.
Dok je Internet / World Wide Web i izum mikročipa visoko rangirani, mnogi čitatelji zahvalili su se na najosnovnijim modernim sadržajima. TheFu piše:
Water purification, by far. A distant 2nd is a hot water heater attached to the shower head.

Jasna i lako distribuirana voda svakako je nešto što zvučamo zdravo za gotovo u zemljama prvog svijeta. Ako ste zainteresirani da pomažete ljudima u zemljama u razvoju da dobiju pristup čistom i sigurnom vodoopskrbu, pozivamo vas da provjerite dobrotvornu vodu ("A" prema CharityWatch.org) kako biste pomogli u približavanju bunara i sustava pročišćavanja vode onima u potreba.
