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.

    You are making a red-herring argument.

    The post’s question is: “What technology made the most impact in modern times?

    A poster says “Chemical fertilizers” and detailed the reasons.

    And then you come in and say NU-UH, IT DESTROYS THE PLANET!!! an argument that has nothing to do with the question.

      If your interpretation is that “impact” includes negative sentiment and mine did not then sure

        My interpretation of impact includes both positive and negative sentiments.

        Whereas you are saying that a negative thing doesn’t count as impact.
