    It's hard to image anything more impactful on the world than the internet.
    Truth.

    It never closes. Our trail exists forever and it can never be deleted. It's such a dichotomy. It brings people together and pulls them apart. It widens business but the distraction narrows productivity.

    Definitely the Internet. I tell my daughter constantly how lucky she is to have the Internet as a tool for learning and communication. When I was in college, we didn't even have email. If you didn't understand something after reading the textbook or class notes (the only resources you had), you had to trek to your professor's office and camp out during office hours.

    Everyone will say "internet" or "smartphones", but as a child of the 80s, the invention that had the biggest impact on me personally was the NES.

    A game system you could play at home, that taught hand/eye coordination and actually helped fix (yes, I said FIX my dyslexia). Also, it started a lifetime love affair with all things pertaining to gaming and led to a lot of the game consoles we have now.

    Good ol' NES. Also, who can forget the judgmental *kitten* dog from Duck Hunt?
