<p>September 11th is definitely not the most important event in history. Heck, it's not even the most important event in United States' history. Some better choices for us would be American Revolution, Civil War, or WWII.</p>
<p>I'd say either printing press or if you want one a little more modern (discovery of) electricity.</p>
<p>When Al Gore invented the internet, of course.</p>
<p>obviously there is no single answer to this, there are so many important things, and evolution is a process.</p>
<p>here's some:
Printing Press
the Wheel
gunpowder
saddle
language
engineering
astronomy
man in space
computer chip</p>
<p>I hope you all don't think Gutenberg invented the printing press.</p>
<p>For all of human history, I would say the development of language was the most important event. After all, without sophisticated communication, what separates us from animals?</p>
<p>In recent history: the explosion of personal computers. </p>
<p>9/11? Give me a break.</p>
<p>As of right now, yes Gutenberg did invernt the printing press...</p>
<p>However there is some evidence that it was invented much eariler in China. I personally tend to lean slightly towards the concept of the Chinese beating the Europeans to the printing press, but until I see some hard fact, I will continue to believe it was Gutenberg.</p>
<p>::...when man landed on the moon...</p>
<p>i can't imagine that man will step onto any other body in the universe during the rest of my lifetime.::</p>
<p>I think the most important event in history would be something that caused a dramatic effect on the lives of everyone in the world. Taken separate from everything else, landing on the moon resulted in pretty much nothing significant for anyone.</p>
<p>But this is an impossible question to answer because almost every invention builds on some invention that predates it. If you say the development of the computer chip was the most important moment in history, someone can say that it would never have been developed if it weren't for the development of the writing, which would never have been developed if it weren't for the development...etc....etc. You could probably go so far back that the most important moment in history was when humans discovered fire. But the human ability to harness fire was only possible because of some other factors...so it never ends.</p>
<p>the birth of jesus christ.</p>
<p>Theoretically since this question sticks with just history and not even human history, one could take it all the way back to the big bang.</p>

Are you standing on the moon right now?</p>
<p>The birth of Jesus Christ is only made important by what Christ did after he was born....so I am going to say the most important event is the entire life of Jesus.</p>

<p>Discovery of the wheel was a big one.</p>
<p>ooh ooh or how about when Paris Hilton got engaged?</p>
<p>just thought this was a good topic because it was asked in my History of World Civilizations class....and my professors opinion was the discovery of the "New World". I happen to agree with the invention of the written word. :)</p>
<p>The day I was born................jk :D</p>
<p>r u kids kidding me.... its definitely the internet seriously how hard would life be w/o the internet?</p>
<p>I don't think writing has done THAT MUCH for the societies it was created in. No more than 1-3 % of most societies were ever literate until at least the 1800's, despite what your impression may be from history classes, as many sources are written.. lol</p>
<p>Invention --
ancient -- the simple machines, lever, screw, incline plane, roller
modern -- electricity, computer, integrated circuit</p>
<p>Event -- Declaration of Independence and the establishment of the United States.</p>
