What was the invention creating this civilization?

IT nerds may think of the computer, or the integrated circuit or even the famous semiconductor. Some others may argue for the atomic bomb, the cotton gin, the bar wire, the machine gun, the telephone, the automobile, the airbag, the bicycle or the wheel. However, not a single one of them created this civilization. There is an invention that originally made all the above technologies possible: fire. Without fire, mankind would have never achieve all the things they did. What do you think of America? Why do they have powerful technologies? Or even why Europeans are dominating America? The answer is fire. It built this civilization by helping early humans cook food, and being the foundation of all of the technologies that were to come. Fire made it possible to melt metal building better tools such as axes, spears, arrows, swords and armors. These newly developed technologies changed the production of society which in turn made it possible to feed the kings and queens, to have some members of the society to build new things instead of "plowing the land." And in the progress, they also built ships going offshore finding the "new worlds" and ending up invading them. That explains where the Spaniards, small box, and America came from. It was fire that built and made it possible for the new generation of technology with steam engines, electric grid, light bubs, guns, bombs, nuclear power and computers. Fire is the father of technology.
