      Indoor plumbing. I am very glad not to have to go outdoors at night to use the bathroom.

      The transistor. Without transistors we wouldn’t have integrated circuits. Without integrated circuits we wouldn’t have computers. And without computers we wouldn’t have the internet and the remarkable ability to communicate, almost instantaneously, with people across the world.
