There are so many important inventions. I think the interviewer wants you to tell him or her WHY did you pick a particular invention, e.i. there is no wrong or right answer.

I think I will pick the printing press because it help to spread out the knowlege of literature/books.

fire and electricity are not inventions, they are discoveries. Of course a lot of inventions use them.

It may not be the most greatest invention...but are you going to tell the guy who owns one that?
