Toss-up between smokeless powder (allows all modern firearms) and GPS.

But the Yamaha DX-7 must be pretty high on the list too. :p

On a serious note, Currency.

Our civilisation is based upon the division of labour and to enable this to occur you need a medium of exchange (bartering does not cut the mustard). I would even suggest that this is more important than the wheel. Trade is the thing that makes Nations.

although this also pales into insignifcance when compared to Coffee.
