I think the consensus is the internet. Second place would be the microchip/microprocessor I suppose? I think I'm going to make a spinoff thread on the tech board.

If I were to hit the lotto, I'd buy a few dozen truck nuts, and put them on random hybrids, sports cars, and other vehicles.

All of these are great.

Air Conditioning
MicroChip/Personal Computer/Internet
Remote Control
All great and serious answers.

I like some of the other answers (non-serious), but in my opinion its BABY WIPES.
If you don't know what I'm talking about . . . . . your welcome.

Pretty sure the microchip is just outside the window of 50 years.

Looks like i was wrong by 3 years.
