If you ask me? Mobile/WiFi internet The way and amount of time we use our phones had changed A LOT since their diffusion. I guess the release of the iPhone changed our idea of what a phone is too

Edit: when I say modern world I’m referring to the last 50 years. So stuff like “the electricity” or “the telephone” doesn’t count.

      To be fair, you didn’t say it had to be a modern technological invention, just that it impacted the modern world
