Playboy Magazine.

Not that it is commonly used today, but it had a helluva great run in its day.

All by myself? Of course not. I'd know where to look for help though.

Many things "invented" today are evolutions from existing/historical inventions.

But my simple answer is the microchip.

I would probably invent and patent the paperclip


The real money in paperclips went to the guy who figured out how to cheaply mass-produce them. That requires machinery that could take a thin wire and bend it just so. Keep in mind no computers were involved, it was all mechanical.

The paperclip itself wasn't really all that.

I'd invent the internet and then nobody would ever hear of old Al Bore and his man made global scamming scheme.
