Invention of the internet
The internet is probably the most dangerous and the best thing that I've ever seen at the same time. I feel like it's dangerous and/or bad because if you wanted to know anything or learn how to do anything you could, but you could use this same excuse as a reason the internet is actually good. We should all learn about it's creation to appreciate how dramatically it has changed the way people live their lives since it became mainstream.
