The internal combustion engine and the electric motor both accelerated change. ^^^This^^^ You beat me by a minute on this one. Both were impossible until a long series of inventions utilizing electricity were made.

I watched a documentary on the History Channel awhile back and fire was the biggest reason for advancing civilization during the early times. Fire was used to fend off predators plus it led to the cooking of food. This allowed them to travel longer distances since the cooked food digested much quicker.
