    I think penicillin was discovered rather than invented.

    Could I suggest alcohol fermentation?

    I would go for wireless telegraphy because it allowed instant communication over great distances. But the internet has probably superseded that now (although I have a wireless hub so it's a combination of the two). But if you were in a developing country, especially in Africa, I would think the gas powered fridge would have to be it. Although even they now have a fibre optic connection to the web.
