Top 10 inventions?!

At least one of these is natural. Why specify something specific like electric telegraph when you could specify something much more broad like electric generator. I don’t think electricity qualified as an actual invention itself otherwise I would go for that. Also, Steam engine is on the list, along with the Rocket, a vehicle known for its revolutionary use of a steam engine.

The link from HYS mentioned the most significant scientific inventions so I was a little confused.

  1. I'm pretty sure they mean the top 10 inventions/discoveries the museum has/has pieces on...
