there are millions!!! The 1920's were really the inventing years, but man, there are so many things: steamboat, telephone, TV (and color), internet, computer, DVD player, CD's, records, lots of medicines and techniques/processes and treatments...this website is just one of 1,000... http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa121599a.htm

I had participated in a presentation competition in my college. We made a Powerpoint presentation on Einstein and his theories of relativity. We made it very simple. Go to my site (see link)\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/sudeepjaiswal_2001/ppt.html\n\nOr directly download my presentation\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/sudeepjaiswal_2001/ppt.zip\n\nHope it helps.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the movable type printing press. This enabled the easy storage and movement of information. \n Think about all the education you have had, and your educators have had, and their educators have had etc... how much has been learnt and passed on through the printed word? Including information on how to make a wheel, what a wheel is, and all the possible applications for the wheel. Same goes for the other inventions mentioned.\n\nSure simple devices such as the wheel had been around for centuries before the printing press and some had some considerable impact on mankind. However technological development had been pretty stagnant before the advent of the movable type printing press.The industrial revolution wouldn't have been possible without the printing press. We would still be living in the 'Dark Ages'.\n\nNot only has the movable type printing press been a key part of the technologies used in other inventions mentioned but has also been a key factor in the social development of mankind. For example\nthe massive impact of political works such as the Communist Manifesto.

I'm curious.... If it's due tomorrow, how long have you had to research it?  In any case, you are in luck!  This is the technological age and you can GOOGLE IT!\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

I think the most revolutionary invention of the 20th century has (go ahead and laugh) the perfection of the bidding rules for the card game "contract bridge" in the 1930's, because it represents a NEW FORM OF LOGIC which we will see in chaos theory and advancede mathematics over the next 50 years or so.\n\nWhat changed our fculture the most?  Physically, the automobile.  Artistically and intellectually, television.\n\nFor the 21st century, I think a form of artificial intelligence will emerge before the end of the century as the most revolutionary invention.  I think the end of America as the world's superpower will change our culture the most.\n\nIn the 20th century, I think the importation of German philosophy into our arts and culture following 1945 detracted more than any other thing.  But the modern focus-group, polled and surveyed political manipulation in elections and politics is a close second place.\n\nI think the major detraction from our culture in the 21st century hasn't even started yet.  I can't guess what it will be.

Use Power Point if you have Microsoft office.  I made Press passes for students in a photo club and they loved it!
