Welcome back to my blog again! Professor Lavian brought up a really good point in class this week - what is the point of sharing our opinions an thoughts with each other on this social media platform if we aren't learning from each other? Different people have different perspectives, and they all bring up very valid points and arguments. I have looked through many of your blogs, and I really like a lot of the ideas you guys have had for your top 10 inventions! That being said, I have updated my top 10 inventions list based on what I have read in your blogs!
I noticed that many of you guys used a color coded system to make the changes to your lists easier to understand. I found this to be a fantastic idea, and I hope that you all don't mind if I did something similar!
KEY:
Black = Same Placement
Blue - New to List
Green = Improved Ranking
Red = Reduced Ranking
