The internet would be a huge one for me. I think for even our own generation we haven't fully put our arms around what it has done for science and greater understanding of different cultures around the globe. |

Though that's already happened with this one. |

I'd say modern medicine
Oh and total surveillance |

Maybe "robotic" technology, devices that can navigate their environment independenty. |

(like the forthcoming TeraByte disc that is the same size as conventional CD/DVD) |
