Is being remembered the only thing that pulled you towards writing ? You have to find that initial spark and nurture it . I say this with compassion , but if your only motivation is being remembered don ' t pursue it . It ' s only going to stress you out and hurt you in the long run . <| sep |> well . I don ' t think the internet is the greatest invention ever . I ' d say that title goes to the invention of money . Only with money was it possible for civilisation to establish itself . Without money you rely on a barter economy which is terribly inefficient and does not lead to the same kind of specialisation of trades . Without specialisation , no civilisation . Also I ' m not counting Fire or Agriculture as a proper invention . The wheel is maybe in the top 10 , but there have been successful and advanced societies without the wheel . The number two spot probably goes to writing .
