Humanity’s Greatest Achievements<br>The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has<br>lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have<br>achieved some incredible things.<br>Many of humanity's great achievements are in science and<br>technology. The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our<br>lives. The discovery of antibiotic has saved the lives of millions of people. Can you<br>imagine living without electricity? What about the printing press? Without the printing<br>press, you wouldn't be reading this. In the last 50 years, there have been astonishing<br>achievements in communication, such as radio, TV, computers, the Internet, and<br>Smartphones. Could we live without these things? Probably, but would life be as<br>interesting?<br>What about the arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are<br>the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics? And is the Mona Lisa as<br>important an achievement as going to space?<br>Finally, we must not forget humanity's early achievements, like the use of fire<br>for cooking and heating, and the invention of the wheel. Can you imagine modern life<br>without cooked food and cars?<br>What are humanity's greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need<br>to decide what we mean by "great." Is it something that makes us rich or happy or<br>saves lives? Or is it just something that makes us say "Wow," like the Pyramids of<br>Giza? What do you think?
