i dont know all the names but here are the reasons for the people i cant find the names for (cant, or just wont bother)

1 viagra (this will never be forgotten)
2 penecillin
3 refrigerators
4 nuclear energy (the safest industry EVER)
5 the wireless telephone
6 motion picture
7 recycling
8 the man who made coke (the cola)
9 lightbulb
10 hot tub

i say these things are of greater importance because they are things that will be used every day virtually forever. think of how many people have used these things and how long they will be used for.
