The wheel - without it we would not have developed very far technically.

Paper and movable type. Without these everything had to be memorized.

Without a wheel the printing machine would not have worked.
Before paper things were memorized and later written on stone or wood.

@camlok,

Think of a plateau rather than an apex. You can't really talk of a single most important invention, because there are many that have been equally important to civilization. I think it would help to keep that in mind when answering this question. Still, it's a good post.

James Burks book, "The Day The Universe Changed" is a good book on the subject. It's about how inventions and discoveries changed the course of history.

As applies to the question, I'm not sure there's much difference.
