Consider that every change has both positive and negative impacts of some sort – the invention of the light bulb, for example, ruined the kerosene and whale oil industries in America…but it has still been a pretty good product, right?

The Top Seven (7)Industries and Inventions Finally, rank the most important and influential seven inventions and businesses in order from the most influential and positive to the seventh most influential and positive. There will be three inventions and/or business left out – you will consider these the least important or most harmful.
