Air conditioning
People were too fricking hot or cold most of the time to think about much else.

The ability to do precise repeatable metalwork has enabled most other areas.
Ex: you mentioned medicine and antibiotics, and they have centrifuges, needles with precise gauge measures, etc
Auto, marine, aviation, and firearm industries are able to make thousands of the same part within tight tolerances.

Impossible to single out one, but if I had to I would say Magna Carta. This is what allowed stability and growth. This laid the foundation for the incentives that caused inventiveness. Before Magna Carta only the King had rights. After Magna Carta was a different world.

The first data processor thingy. Either that or the widget.
And I do realize that a data processor wouldn't have been possible but for electricity, but along those same lines, electricity perhaps wouldn't have been possible but for the wheel. Hell I don't know.

A few responses brings up the question. Would you rather control the temp in your house or be able to shite in a toilet opposed to going to an out house?

You suck so bad. Someone should study what went wrong so future parents don’t make the same mistakes ever again.

WWII really pushed stuff along quickly.
Apparently people are more productive if they think they may die if they can't figure out how to build a computer or bomb.

The guy that decided to risk it all and inject people with cow pox (aka vaccine) to cure small pox is probably a big time contributer to society.
It took him 20 years and I'm pretty sure he killed some folks, but frick yea to that dude.

So is there one thing that is responsible for the rapid evolution in technology?
As written, and particularly starting in the 1940s, transistor.
Without it as a starting point, essentially no modern electronics exists.

If you want to take this angle, I’d say The Crusades.
