Probably the internet. (The computer really is a bit older than 50 years...cathode ray tube type of computers were in development during the 1950s).
I'd say that because it's revolutionized the way we communicate, re-engineered business completely (look at how retail can be done via net), and has provided entertainment, news, information, and communication via word, voice, and video and is accessible to nearly everyone in the world. Information travels much more quickly via the internet than it ever has, including the "golden" age of television.

Not a tax question. Taxes have been around far longer than 50 years.
