I've already listed several the technologies you can thank NASA going to the Moon for.

Personal computers
Cellular Phones
Calculators
MRI
Smoke Detectors
Gas Detectors
Artificial Limbs
Artificial Heart
Barcodes
Cordless Tools
Radial Tires
Safety Grooving
Fire Resistant Clothing
Water Purifiers
Freeze Drying
Remote Control
Bioreactors
Rapid Blood Analysis
Forms of Chemotherapy
GPS
Satellite TV
Acceleration of Global Communication

Not that some of this wouldn't have eventually happened, but it greatly accelerated it for sure.
