8.The internal combustion engine
Sure, one day our history of burning fossil fuel will turn Toowoomba into a beachside suburb, but access to vehicles, both public and private, has transformed the world from a place where you never ventured more than a kilometre from home and ended up marrying your cousin, to a place where you can be flown to the other side of the world in a day. Car ownership has destroyed our cities, but grants us freedom to move far and wide at a pretty small cost.
