A list of the seven wonders of the modern world was compiled after World War One (after 1918).
The motorcar was omitted from the list, instead naming:
(1) the radio;
(2) the telephone;
(3) the airplane;
(4) radium;
(5) anaesthetics and antitoxins;
(6) spectrum analysis;
(7) X rays.
An updated list undoubtedly will include the car, television, computer, nuclear energy and nanotechnology.
