The printing press....
Before the first printing press was invented & books became available to the masses , literacy rates were low & only the very elite had access to the written word.
The first printing press revolutionised thinking , changed the social order & built the foundation of civilisation as we know it.
Most other inventions of later years , though very worthwhile & important , wouldn't have necessarily happened if the printing press hadn't first liberated mankind from the shackles of illiteracy !

Well I think that we as humans are probably the one invention that changed this world the most. We (however we were put here) have changed the world the most. Unlike most things on this planet we have no limit, we are ever growing and changing to fit our surroundings. Along with the fillings we have for each other as human beings, we care about the weak and broken down, the ones who can not do things themselves. In the animal world the strongest, healthiest are the ones who bread and live out there lives. The weak and unhealthy go along to not live long lives.
We may have not been the most helpful invention, as we are causing this world so much pain. As in creating all these inventions to help us grow further into the future, yet what will be of my kids children? Will they any more further in life with technology then we are today?
One day when we are all gone and Earth is all dried up with the recourses that we have consumed to fuel our inventions, the planets and animals will once again be on top as it was millions and millions of years ago? I do not know but we as the one invention that changed this world will be long gone. Eaither moved on to another plaent or gone forever.

Writing is the one thing that revolutionized the world. Being able to pass on information in written form is the greatest invention, even before ink or printing, the written letter is the grandpa of all that.
