This site has a timeline of everyday inventions; it covers more than the fifty years you want, but it is fairly short and there seems to be some other useful information on the site.\n\nhttp://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0768871.html

How about this: Operations now being carried out were not even dreamed of 50 years ago.

1) The Telephone \nThe telephone is an instrument that converts voice and sound signals into electrical impulses for transmission by wire to a different location, where another telephone receives the electrical impulses and turns them back into recognizable sounds. In 1875, Alexander Graham Bell built the first telephone that transmitted electrically the human voice.\n2) The History of Computers\nThere are many major milestones in the history of computers, starting with 1936, when Konrad Zuse built the first freely programmable computer.\n3) Television \nIn 1884, Paul Nipkow sent images over wires using a rotating metal disk technology with 18 lines of resolution. Television then evolved along two paths, mechanical based on Nipkow's rotating disks, and electronic based on the cathode ray tube. American Charles Jenkins and Scotsman John Baird followed the mechanical model while Philo Farnsworth, working independently in San Francisco, and Russian émigré Vladimir Zworkin, working for Westinghouse and later RCA, advanced the electronic model.\n4) The Automobile\nIn 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was invented by French mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. However, it was a steam-powered model. In 1885, Karl Benz designed and built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine. In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler took the internal combustion engine a step further and patented what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine and later built the world's first four-wheeled motor vehicle.\n5) The Cotton Gin \nEli Whitney patented the cotton gin on March 14, 1794. The cotton gin is a machine that separates seeds, hulls and other unwanted materials from cotton after it has been picked.\n6) The Camera\nIn 1814, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce created the first photographic image with a camera obscura, however, the image required eight hours of light exposure and later faded. Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre is considered the inventor of the first practical process of photography in 1837.\n7) The Steam Engine\nThomas Savery was an English military engineer and inventor who in 1698, patented the first crude steam engine. Thomas Newcomen invented the atmospheric steam engine in 1712. James Watt improved Newcomen's design and invented what is considered the first modern steam engine in 1765.\n8) The Sewing Machine\nThe first functional sewing machine was invented by the French tailor, Barthelemy Thimonnier, in 1830. In 1834, Walter Hunt built America's first (somewhat) successful sewing machine. Elias Howe patented the first lockstitch sewing machine in 1846. Isaac Singer invented the up-and-down motion mechanism. In 1857, James Gibbs patented the first chain-stitch single-thread sewing machine. Helen Augusta Blanchard patented the first zig-zag stitch machine in 1873.\n9) The Light Bulb\nContrary to popular belief, Thomas Alva Edison didn't "invent" the light bulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1809, Humphry Davy, an English chemist, invented the first electric light. In 1878, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan, an English physicist, was the first person to invent a practical and longer-lasting electic lightbulb (13.5 hours) with a carbon fiber filament. In 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented a carbon filament that burned for forty hours.\n10) Penicillin \nPenicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Andrew Moyer patented the first method of industrial production of penicillin in 1948.

There are new inventions / discoveries practically every day.  The best catalog of them I've seen used to be the McGraw Hill Yearbook of Science and Technology.  But the IEEE and ACM both have great tech newsletters talking about new discoveries and inventions.\n\nIf you're tlaking about non-tech stuff, you only need look as far as the discovery of new islands just off Togo... a couple of weeks ago, a yachter discovered "pumice rafts" drifting in the ocean from an underwater volcano, and within a week an island had formed.\n\nFor a start, check out the Science News section of Yahoo.

I was going to say the internet would be one of the choices, but I believe that was invented before 96(if your only going 10 years back). Therefore, the only thing invention I can think of that has been a cultural phenomenon is an iPod. The ability to carry thousands of songs on a tiny little ipod, instead of using a bulking CD player that only lets you have one cd at a time, is an amazing invention.

hmm, twinsets, capris, halter tops, full skirts, anything kind of fifties.  Hair in a ponytail, french twist.  horn-rim glasses, cat eye glasses, saddle shoes, mary janes, black leather jackets, (biker style), pencil skirts, levis rolled to capri length, that's all I can think of right now.

Back in the 1960s, there was a toy brand called "Susie Homemaker."  They made an oven that used a light bulb for a heat source, and sold "cake mix" etc. that could be baked.
