      Thanks for the question, Holly!

      My favorite invention is the telephone. Before the ‘phone, people had to write letters or go visit each other to talk. But then can you imagine people’s amazement when the telephone was invented? You could hear someone on the other side of the sea in real time! That must have felt like magic!

      We take these kind of things for granted nowadays as we have so many clever things in our lives, but it is important to understand the history of where they came from and how disadvantaged people were before science made their lives easier.

      I think I would go for the computer. I love playing with them and they’re pretty crucial for what makes the world a comfortable place to live 🙂
