What has been the greatest technological invention/innovation?

[Shadow Conception]

I'd say the MP3 player. While, there were MP3 players before 2000, Apple pretty much helped it go mainstream in the 21st century.

What would you guys say?

Blackberry?

edit: Woops, that's 9 years. I'll try and think of something else.

The advent of Voice over Internet Protocol has been bigger in a worldwide sense than the mp3 player. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, the way our phone calls are handled by t-com firms, has lowered prices across the board, and has enabled communication between people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to, or couldn't afford to communicate.

Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Yes, it encountered some engineering problems during its testing and is currently shutdown for the winter, but the technology is amazing.

Cheap silicon in the communication industry. Cheap digital signal processing - this gives you your broadband, your cell phone goodies, your instant access to information, your HDTV, your fiber to the home, your everything.

Without this communication and speed everything is a moo point.

It's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter.
