Cell phone. Not only is it extremely useful (ok, and sometimes ANNOYING!) in our busy day-to-day lives and a godsend if you need to call for help when stranded, but look at all of the countries without any infrastructure that can now communicate with the rest of the world due to cellular towers being a lot more cost effective and practical to install than traditions phone lines and switching centers. The "Third World" got a little closer with cell phones.

I guess I will then go with davoomacs answer.
