ReplyDeleteHey Tiffany! I really enjoyed reading your post and learning your reasoning behind why and how you chose your Top-10 list. It was really interesting to see how our lists have so much in common --- in fact, we share 6 of your 10 inventions! Great work!
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany,
ReplyDeleteI had most of my top 10 choices in common with yours but I definitely did not take into consideration the importance of the sewing machine even though clothing is such an enormous industry in society. Good job on putting together a great list and bringing unique ideas.
