Penicillin or the antibiotic.

For those that object. I don't think humans made electricity.

How about Writing? Without that a lot of things, physical and abstract, wouldn't exist.

its tough because technology is like "a rising tide raises all boats".

but you are right without the harnessing of fossil fuels and energy we would not have had the ability to do everything else.. but everything has consequences as you are seeing now
