The transistor. It's insane just how many of these there are in the world. There'd be billions of them in just about every household in the country.

These two items no doubt will outlive themselves and evolve so much. As fuels dry up..the the types of cars (AS WE KNOW them) will Drastic change any way. And the big desk top computer ,well i don't even use one any more as i have a small notebook that i can plug anything into and now tablets and iphones can do anything.
But they have both been great inventions cars and computers i suppose its a personal thing.
