Personally, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison are the two men who have helped us to be able to be what we are today. And that is: overly dependent on a steady source of electricity and false lighting(true lighting being that which the sun gives off).
Capturing electricity and using it to make all the things we have from computers, phones, ipods, CD players, mixers, fans, space shuttles- you name it. With electricity we are powerful in ways people a hundred years ago could never have imagined. And yet we are so vulnerable at the same time because without it we are quite powerless. Literally.

I think it must be modern medical care, and antibiotics specifically. They have saved billions of lives. The plague was something to be feared in the Middle Ages but could easily be cured by simple antibiotics.

Hands down its electricity. There is about a billion things we can do because of it. There's a billion more things like writing in the dark for example that we couldn't do if we didn't have it!
