Anyone who has had a debilitating injury or suffered a chronic or severe illness (or witnessed a loved-one's injury or illness) will say that health is everything. So the answer to this question has to be something that made our lives healthier. So I'll go along with penicillin/antibiotics.
And along the lines of everyone pointing out that electricity was not an invention, penicillin was also a discovery, not an invention.

Vaccines are pretty high up there. Maybe you can pinpoint a handful of significant agricultural inventions. These are the ones likely responsible for the most amount of lives saved.

The ability to generate and conduct electric current... nothing else comes close.

Writing of course.
If you can't record what was said and have your words understood after you've written them, reliable contracts can't exist and human cooperation breaks down. Basically everything breaks down, writing is fundamental to society.
Electricity and modern medicine would never have a chance to get off the ground.
