What is the most important invention of all the time Is it the written word that helps us to record information Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet others Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be right in front of your eyes. He is talking about a simple pair of glasses.
Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000 years ago. They were more than just a convenient way to read. Before glasses were invented, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight, they could not remember well enough and could not work. Glasses meant that people could work in their old age. People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it. Eye glasses are one of the world's greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephones and car.

One possible version：
Cellphones are becoming more and more important in our daily lives.Do you know the history of cellphones？The first cellphone was invented in 1973.At that time，it was like a building brick and much heavier than the cellphone today.Cellphones have many uses.For example，we can use cellphones to talk to others at any time.We can also use cellphones to take photos，listen to music or surf the Internet.
I believe that cellphones will become thinner and thinner and that smartphones will take the place of computers in the future.
