What is the most important invention of all 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 let 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 glasses.
Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000 years ago. They were more than just a convenient way to read. Before glasses, 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 telephone and car.

There was a time when I felt idle(空虚的). I’m not interested in anything, probably because I lost job. I don’t even know why I’m still alive today.
While I was running slowly one morning, I saw an old man sitting alone on the roadside bench. He was exactly opposite to the way that I was walking along, so I planned to cross the road to wish him a good morning. As I approached(走进) him, he was very delighted to see me. And his warm smile made me sit next to him. He said it was nice of me to come and chat with him.
After a long talk, Then he said to me in a low voice: “At this stage of my life, it feels very lonely here. Anybody sharing a few heartfelt(真诚的) moments would mean a lot to me. I must thank him or her.”
I was very shocked by what he said, and I wondered: how could a little that I do make him feel so different?
I knew he was a painter, and painting was an interesting talk topic to him. So we talked more about painting, I asked him, “can you teach me to paint?”
He was surprised at first and then agreed after a few seconds of thinking.
Now, every other day, I go to learn how to paint from him. We paint a lot and talk a lot. He says he feels better, and he waits for me every day. After all, I make the old man feel better. Of course, I didn’t do this to learn painting. The most important is that I can get so much wisdom from an old man with so much experience.
