The internet is the instinctive choice, although I've always thought of it as having evolved rather than being invented.
But on a personal note, since the birth of my two kids, I would be inclined to say something like disposable nappies, or diapers to you. Or the dishwasher. These are two things that have improved the quality of my life no end!

Hey, Ketchup cannot be termed as big invention.I don't think that computer will move out in 25 years.Nor do I think we are going to live with out TV.In all probability Ketchup is going to vanish in a decade.All fellows who're rolling all over on Ketchup now,better find another sticky thing fast!
