That counts! I don't like having used the word invention in my title, but couldn't think of any other way to phrase it.

Fast food places making breakfasts.

Microwaves
Color TV
Internet
iPods and other MP3 players
CDs and DVDs
Audio Books
Digital electronic devices and components of all types.
(I would mention clocks and watches here, because when I was growing
up, the only accurate timepieces were the very expensive ones. Even
the dashboard clocks on cars were inaccurate. Now you can go into a
Walgreens or Rite Aid and pick up a watch for $15 bucks that keeps
good time.)

I changed it. If you don't like it or want a different title, just let me know. :)

ok, i know....at least I assume this was post-1979...spell check. Not grammar check, I hate that. And word processors. I'd have died if I'd had to have used a typewriter in school.
