    If you had neither one, which of the following would you wish were developed first:
    * electric lights
    * indoor plumbing

    Hey, I could use oil lanterns, candles and torches while I use comfortable convenient indoor plumbing. But preferences may differ. Water on tap. Showers.

    Also don't forget Scott's Tissue which developed the first spliter-free toilet paper.

      It turns out that nobody wants their toilet as an electrical component (except the Japanese, perhaps).

    Indoor plumbing isn't electrical.

    What do you consider to be the biggest technological advancement for electrical components?
