Most important technologies for improving human well-being:
1. Mastering Fire
2. Writing
3. Money
4. Printing
5. Electricity
6. Nitrogen fixingAll disagreers are recency-biased historical illiterates.

Forgot a few really important ones:
1) Clothing and tech around that (weaving/sewing)
2) Irrigation
3) Carrying devices (baskets etc.)
4) Cooking apart from fire
The ones most associated with women are usually overlooked, and those are all supremely important to human development.
