Oh! Now I don't feel so dumb! I didn't know either Osuche. I thought it had to do with airlines also.

Is the love I gave her in the past, gonna be enough to last, if tomorrow never comes........

And these 25 wonderful things help the bottom 2 1/2billion of us in no direct way

shape or form.

A grain that'll grow in sand or gravel without needing water would blow the lot away.

Oh God! I'm sounding like a greenie.

That would be useful. Or how about potable water? .
Personally, I'd add ATMs to the list. But that's just because I'm a lazy American.

seems that most of these couldn't have come so far without the help of the other 24.

but since they didn't single this one out, i'll add medical tech advances which basically boils down to improved materials/tools/medicines: endoscpoic/less invasive surgeries, plastic hearts and pace makers, prosthetics, the discovery of stem cells and their amazing capabilities, incubators. the list goes on...
