Hate to admit it but...the cell phone. The nuclear bomb would be another.

@caesar7 I think the bomb would top anyone's list if we all had thought about the question as deeply as you have.
I've just read Julie MacDowell's Attack Warning Red, a description of the UK Government's Cold War ideas on how to protect the country during and after an all-out nuclear war; though touching on one or two other nations' examples, such as how to use a cartoon turtle to turn a generation of schoolchildren neurotic. It is stark and very frightening. Unfortunately, once invented, nothing can be "un-invented".
