Once again it’s time for the weekly Sunday Brunch with ZA Maxfield! This week, we have one awesome friend joining us! Please welcome A. Morell and JP Barnaby!
This week’s question is: “What’s the best invention ever and why?”
***BIG NEWS*** From now on, instead of the ebooks we’ve been awarding as prizes, I’ll be giving out a $5.00 Amazon gift card so readers can use it for the ebook (or other Amazon purchase) of their choice. All you have to do is comment below for your chance to win!
First up we have JP Barnaby!
The best invention ever traces back to 1450’s Germany with the printing press. An automated physical (arguably portable) representation of ideas to share across the civilized world. A forerunner to the the internet and the global sharing of information, innovation, and porn.

Next up is A. Morell!
I’ve given it a lot of thought, and I’m gonna have to go with the waffle.
If you think about it, they’re a work of simple genius, and quite beneficial to our present society of environmental awareness. They’re basically edible plates—what’s better for the environment than edible food containers?
Of course, they’re more than just conveyors of butter and syrup. Some of them hold ice cream. Or chicken. Then there’s the waffle-cut french fry. What other form of potato can deliver maximum potential dipping sauce per bite? The waffle even inspired some intrepid soul to invent the Choco Taco. Tacos! For dessert! And you can’t forget about their delicious, indolent cousin, the funnel cake. What’s a carnival or amusement park without them? I’m also fairly certain that if there is a heaven, at least one small corner of it smells like freshly made waffle cones at all times.
So yeah, waffles. Other than that, maybe Scrivener.

Thank you to A. and JP for joining us this week!
A Waffle! I love that.
I agree with JP 100%! I can’t imagine the world without the invention of the printing press.
The toilet I believe is got to be the best because I cannot see myself going outside in the middle of the night to pee.
I think the library is the best invention. Low tech easy to use and holds a wealth of information.
I love the waffle response but agree with C. about the library.
The printing press is such a great choice, and so instrumental for the expansion of knowledge and wide-spread availability of books etc.
I going to say electric light bulbs, which foreshadowed led lights etc. They did away with candles, dangerous gas lighting and oil lamps etc, for homes and businesses and were used in so many products later like cameras, appliances, flashlights, etc.
Best invention depends in what category. Do you mean medical? Or science? Or agriculture? Or living circumstances?
The best inventions are writing, indoor plumbing, electricity and the discovery that microscopic organisms cause disease.
I like all the suggestions already mentioned. I would add the ability to fly via airplane, now we can travel to other countries without it taking months or years! And if we have waffles I think we should include the invention of ice cream to the list. waffle cones + ice cream = happiness.
I think the greatest invention is the portable electronic devices (tablet, smartphone, or laptop). These electronics do so many things and can multi-task as well. Everyone has at least one of these items and we use them all of the time.
The internet! What would we do without it!?!!
