Is it okay to answer this question seriously?
1. Central heating-opened many areas to habitation that people could not live in because of temperatures. Those people that lived in these areas didn't have to spend every waking moment chopping wood in a fire place that isn't that great for heating a room much less an entire home.
2. Refrigerators. You younguns are so use to fridges you don't realize how inconvenient and dangerous (food spoiling) having an icebox was. The ice box needed ice constantly, food would spoil, and the drip pan had to be emptied. That was my job and dreaded it because I always slopped water on the floor and got whacked for it.
There are so many other great inventions that REALLY improved out lives in the last century. Hard to pick just one.
I could very well live without TV but freezing in the morning or sweltering in the summer sucks big big time.
Of course, these inventions would be useless without electricity, but that occurred during the preceding century.

The micro computer chip. In the 1950's when computers were first invented and used on a commercial scale, they would fill up whole buildings and take hours to do what is considered simple tasks that are done in seconds now. That whole technology and power you currently have sitting on your desktop.
Large clunky desktop hand operated calculators have been replaced with mini calculators with multifunctions and power that fit into the palm of your hand.
In the 1950's you were happy to get a phone line with no one else sharing it (a party line with separate identifying rings, IE: 3 long rings it is for you, 2 short rings it is for someone else) and now you have cell phones that can go anywhere to be used.
In the 1950's digital clocks were unheard of except maybe in NASA control rooms and the military. Now you wear one on your wrist to tell you when to wake up, sleep, what day it is, etc.
In the 1950's when TV first had national programming, they used large clunky sets which used many tubes that would burn out and have to be replaced. Now the sets are so thin in size you almost can't tell they are in the room until they are turned on.
None of this was possible without the micro computer chip.

Nothing beats eating McNuggets while watching a McNuggets ad on TV.

The computer, of course. I know, it may seem 'silly' if you have 'always had' a computer, but they were 'spread throughout the world' in the 20th century because of the 'inventions' of 'chip technology' ... and EVERYTHING that now uses that technology is by far the 'greatest invention' of mankind thus far. It's 'equivalent' to Gutenberg who 'invented' printing instead of 'copying every book by hand' ...

Chicken Mcnuggets are the best but i think they were better before the all white meat.

Jan. 1, of the 21st century is the 20th century's greatest invention. The damn 20th century is best left alone in its blood and psychoness.
