top 10 awful games
What about the Rubik's Cube
The micro processor should be on this list as well.
+Raven Campbell I think a better candidate by that logic would be the transistor. Without it, microprocessors would not be possible.

How is the TV more important than the computer?
Is this a serious obtuse question ?
+Brian Shneydman Because people are dumb and most of this dumbasses still watch tv. I mean news and other shit. i watch sport and smart programs like quizes. And live in place there is no good internet so I can't watch online or download.
It came very early in the century and in a sense of meaning, it was much more revolutionary. Although, I love computers, they are TVs that require the internet/wifi. Please no one bash me (if they strongly disagree).
The list isn't about importance. It's just randomly assorted things really.
+Brian Shneydman
well for one thing, TV's were actually invented in the 20th Century... The Computer wasn't. Modern Turing Complete computers were actually really invented in 1837.....
Surely shouldn't the computer be higher than the internet since the internet wouldn't exist without it?
+BigHairyFenian not true..
+BigHairyFenian But by that you must everything else that made the computer possible above it.
+Eorria Explain how you could have got the Internet without intense code and Dedicated servers
+Aiden Connor theres always another way to do something
Eorria How so? The internet is a global network of computers, without the computers it's nothing.
Can't believe the transistor isn't on the list. Just about everything on the list is possible because of the transistor.
Most underrated comment
Vacuum cleaner and microwave are... brainless watchmojos can not do better
I personally never use the Internet.
Internet? Never heard of it.
+Movie Nerd never heard of it ? Never heard of it.
tf is that?
Internet = porn and memes
But Comments on RUclips
The tank was also an important invention. It's incredible how a thing with such a restricted range of uses could have such an impact on the course of history. This is given to the fact that the 20th century was marked by the greatest conflict know to man.
vacuum cleaner > satelites
wut? Are you serious?
yes
Blame the voters
+przadlo1488 - I'm trying to play devil advocate ... but i can't.
Satellites is number 9 and vacuum cleaner is number 7.
Thats! Correct!
number one porn
I believe there were some considered porn for the age in the 19th century
+Nyx yup
19. Century
porn goes back thousands of years.
Thats true. Even the cavemen had porn
Computer should definitely be higher than the TV lol.
Brooms still exist because most people aren't going to drag out the vacuum cleaner if it's a small mess, like a handful of spilled cereal.
who the fuck reheats coffee in a microwave
where do you reheat yours?
if it gets cold i brew some new coffee
+white person It's not ideal but a lot of people do that sometimes
+white person i make my coffe in the mic im a bit lazy and barely drink it twice a month its no biggie for me
I was thinking the same thing
Making films with smart phones makes me laugh so much.
TV number 2 even thought TV sales are have fallen a lot last couple of years.
It all depends on where you live.For example,If you were in a region where temperature reaches 48 C. ,you would appreciate air conditioners most.
Mine:
10. General Relativity and Special Relativity
9. Motion Picture
8. Wireless Communication (Early Phones)
7. Airplanes
6. Antibiotics (Penicillin) and Vaccines
5. Nuclear-Powered Energy
4. Transistors (Computers)
3. Quantum Mechanics
2. Rockets
1. The Internet
"oh crap, I forgot the vacuum." lmao
Not a single invention but industrial agriculture which includes the use of petro-chemical fertilizers, pesticides, tractors, and harvesting combines deserves a mention. In 1900 half the population grew their own food and all food was grown by hand or with the aid of draft animals. Little had changed in agriculture for thousands of years until the green revolution happened in the 20th century. Famines used to kill more people than wars but by the end 20th century famines had largely been eradicated from the planet. Few people work the land or grow their own food anymore. Of all the inventions this probably had the biggest on the average person. It freed us being tied to the land and allowed for a quadrupling of the human population. Likely you wouldn't be alive today playing on the internet if there wasn't enough food to eat. The next time you eat something you didn't grow yourself be sure to thank industrial agriculture.
This should be NUMBER 1.
Yeah, sure, vaacum cleaner is a more mesmerizing achievement than space rockets. -__-'
lol when peter griffin forgot the vacuum.HAHAHA
You know I think mentioning Alan Turing would have been respectful and worthwhile...
Microwave - Percy Spencer 🇺🇸
Satellite - Arthur C Clarke 🇬🇧
Nuclear Energy - Enrico Fermi 🇮🇹
Vacuum Cleaner - Hubert Cecil Booth 🇬🇧

Mobile Phone - Martin “Marty” Cooper 🇺🇸
Computer - Charles Babbage 🇬🇧
Penicillin - Alexander Fleming 🇬🇧

The Brits got this!
Internet is obviously #1
+Nyx ikr
but there was internet in the 19
+Mikail41 internet is invented in the mid 90s?
+CyroSparrow_ 30
The internet was actually invented by DARPA in the late 1960s. First e-mails were sent in the 70s. There was a pretty big hobbyist internet in the 1980s with Compuserve and Prodigy. In 1989 there were 1 million online users. The modern high speed internet that everyone knows about rolled out in the mid 90s but there was an internet long before that.
+Novusod and modern Computers themselves were also invented far earlier than the general public believes. 1837 by Charles Babbage...
The invention of laser should have been high on the list. It led to other inventions used in medicine, communications and many more.
+Greg Salcedo Look at the voting. it wasn't even on the list.
Love that M1 Garand ping at 11:13
5:42 Nope. A Bavarian in 1901 created the first Plane
Number 1 should have been the intermodal shipping container. Without it most of the things on the list wouldn't be as ubiquitous as they are now. the vast majority of shipping is done by water. It's the unsung hero of our modern lives.
Romania helped for this a lot, penillicin, the airplane, the engine reaction, and other more
No one said otherwise... No need to get defensive
Loving that TARDIS on the nuclear power station map.
Radio, TV, microwave, satellite and cell phones all have their root in our discovery of what the electromagnetic spectrum was capable of when harnessed.
Great video, WatchMojo! The electric air conditioner is also an important 20th century invention. It made more places more habitable for humans.
The 10,000 year gap occurred between the harnessing of fire and the invention of the wheel on earth.
Apparently the kid giving internet instructions was unaware that these // are forward slashes. A double backslash would be \\
Out of the whole video, the part I liked the most was seeing the original Call of Duty on the office...
Top 21st Century Inventions - Hoverboard, Hologram, Robots, Flying Cars, Zombies…
Video game just at the honorable mentions?! Cmon WatchMojo .-.
I definitely think that penicillin was deserving of the top spot as it has helped to extend human lifespan by decades and saved hundreds of millions of lives whilst making operations possible.
Next Up "Top 10 22nd Century Inventions"
The microwave shouldn't be on this list. You know what inventions warms your food and doesn't ruon it while warming it more evenly? The oven.
First time I've been in a video with under 20 views. I'll buy myself a pizza now
Truely the greatest century in human history
Fax machine, ATM, credit cards, CFL etc etc etc. the list goes on and on.
I'm sure an ATM has saved more lives than penicillin
I’m mad we have to do a test on this video why did you have to post itttt
nope, wrong... the transistor should be first as it is the foundation and essential item of most of the items on the list
You´ve missed Transistor and Laser.
Why on earth is TV higher than Computers? That's absurd.
+Blueberry Bandit They say it themselves: Because EVERYONE has one! A computer not everyone.
Remco F. Gerritsen More people have computers than TVs. That's a fact.
***** A Screen doesn't have to be a television.
+Remco F. Gerritsen every modern tv has a computer, and im not talking about smart TV's. you need a computer to decode the signal that is coming through. computers aren't just PCs you know
exactly?!
My mom had a huge model back in 1978. Tappan.
Cellphone is ranked higher than airplane. Just let that sink in
The 20th century is what fascinates me. It had radical changes in almost every aspect of human society. Significant changes came unlike any other century before that. I am so glad the Internet is on the top of the list. I can't do without the Internet. A century of innovation and beginning to live longer as a result of penicillin and more vaccines. Billions dreamed of flying prior to 1903, and I am glad it's been a dream come true for a little more than a century. The computer should be ranked at second place. I am glad life has become easier and better as a result of what happened in the 20th century in the inventions.
Contraception. Women's ability to determine when and how many children they want to have, as well as their contribution to the economic system, is the number one factor in calculating social disparity in any given culture. Contraception has given them the ability to decide those facts.
a Mexican invented contraception
I have one of those old Hoover vacuums as shown at 4:10. It still works.
09-07-2019.
I find it funny that it said instantaneously for the internet. *nudge nudge* internet explorer.
WatchMojo brought to you by the power of the internet lol.
Here's to coming up with "Top 10 Anime Characters with High Kill Counts" and "Top 10 As Seen On TV Products That Were Surprisingly Awesome" before this one.
At the honorable mentions what game are the two people playing in the office?
John Logie Baird YaY glad to see him on here seeing as he is from my town
Number 1 should be "world wide web" because that is what you are referring to. Big difference between "the internet" and WWW.
+Matt Deeley I agree. The Internet is a worldwide network of computers that consist of the Web plus several darknets that web browsers cannot access. One example of a darknet is the network accessed for P2P file sharing. Also, the WWW was invented two decades after the Internet.
Something happens in new Mex that year... then the microwave shows up...
"The internet went down for three hours, this morning, plunging the nation into productivity"
The imposition of a highly controversial response to a problem impels science to counter with a much more positive solution.
I can't agree with number 3 being allergic to Penicillin.
I would have listed the Computer as No. 1. Was video games even worthy of an "Honorable" mention?!?
The first "plane" was the Eole build by a french enginner named Clémand Ader , the prototype fly for the first time in 1890 , way before the wright brothers...
But the Wright brothers were the first to make a succesful manned flight with their plane
Best invention ever-my RUclips channel
The microwave turntable is actually completely pointless, you can get flat bed microwaves that work just the same and allow more space inside.
Top 10 21th Century Inventions pls
The jet engine should be on the list.
thanks WM i did't know the name of the old series bacuse i was too yung Secret Life Of Machines
top 10 animated movies in the 20-21th century
I own cable, satalitte, Netflix, shomi, RUclips, and niter on all 10 of my tvs
The best invention of the 20th century? Easy: The transistor.
Ridiculous how the microwave and vacuum cleaner can be on the list, but no washing machine. The washing machine saved millions of women for hours of work. You don't need a microwave for anything, basicly.
Oh please, the only real way to clean carpets was to munch on them.
says microwave is underappreciated.. puts it on # 10.. irony much?
Top 10 best kpop groups
Hmmm you know who’s
Dear Watchmojo this is probably the 10th time I've said this: No offense but I prefer the male's voice over the female's
1:48 The most prophetic movie scene ever filmed?
Thumbs up if you've got an 'integrated television, phone and computer'!
Jim totally predicted 'smart' devices and tablet computers!
Nice Tim and Eric reference.
Hey! Video Games are higher than movies! How about that?!
back in the early 80's i was a little afraid of our first microwave.....lol. when i used it i would never stand near it. like 5 or more feet away and then was skeptical about eating the food. don't judge.....i liked my body just the way it was.....lol *shrug*
The description of the internet has a few technical errors. The internet came out about 30 years before the world wide web and remains much larger than the WWW (thus the Dark Web). The WWW was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 (he also invented the HTML markup language). This allowed for anyone to be able create and access web pages without having to remember the IP addresses. The original WWW DNS server was hosted by Steve Jobs on his NEXT computers.
Also to the individual below complaining about Cars being left out, they were invented in the 1800''s and therefore do not qualify for this list.
+Ron Howe Number 4 pissed me off, because that was actually invented by Charles Babbage in 1837.... not in the 20th century. Only laypeople believe it was invented in the 20th century.... but it wasn't.
What about the top 20 10th century inventions? Where would we be without the dry dock or the fire lance?
Please make a "another top 10 anime series"
How come they're all from the 19th century? Change the title!
No 4472 flying Scotsman A3 pacific should be on this list as it broke many records and made travel luxury, surviving for over 90 years it still runs to this day
please do a top ten forms of entertain that would be nice! reply if you agree.
I wonder what the top inventions of history would be. It's kinda hard to rank something as world-changing as the Internet against things like cars, fire, or the wheel, all of which arguably had the same if not an even bigger impact.
This is the backslash \ and this is the forward slash / @ 11:37
I nominate LSD, rock and roll and video games, lol.
Where did they stop thinking? The internet on number one, but the computer on stand on number 4 (en television on 2)?!
What logic do I miss?
So, this is Top 10 Al Gore inventions.
I would assume that Al Gore would count as an invention of the Illuminati wouldn't it? lol
great video guys keep it up
Vaccum cleaners and microwaves, but no rockets / space vehicles to deliver the satellites???
I'd go back to the 1970s and "Connections" by James Burke for the one missing invention that should be on the list. In his book/ TV series, Burke outlined how the most crucial inventions came to be: the aircraft, rockets, television, the computer, the nuclear bomb, the telephone, plastics, and the modern production line - which makes it possible to produce everything we have around us.
Anyone else spot a TARDIS with all the Nuclear stations on the map?
Watch Modjo, you made a big mistake. Where is the LASER? The invention of this awesome device has applications everywhere... But you put the vacuum?! wtf?
Otto Liliantal gets not credit, wow
I thought the radio came out before the television? Why can't that be on this list??
Am I the only one here who had to watched this video for google classroom
nope
What I don't get, why is it that 'Hoover style' vacuum cleaners with the bag/motor mounted on the handle are still so common place in the US ?
In Europe you will not find those, other than the smaller battery powered types.
I mean, they seem to be so cumbersome, heavy, and very inconvenient on stairs.
