The electric generator is the most important invention in the past couple of hundred years.
We would still be in the pioneer days without it. Everything else... vacuum tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, computers, the internet, would not exist if we were not able to generate electricity on demand. We would still be communicating by telegram.
In my lifetime... the internet is certainly hard to top. But we have not even started to see the potential of 3D printing yet.
