http://www.scribd.com/doc/1768/Some-stories-about-popular-inventions-and-discoveries This is a good article describing a number of technological advances that led to things we use today. For example, the modern microphone was invented in 1920.
Electricity was a big one. Also, the wheel was a pretty big deal back in the day, as was fire.
After World War II, the productive capacity and technological advances gave the US a distinct advantage. It was not ravaged by the war and its infrastructure was intact.

An important example is the discovery of the sources and use of electricity. Electricity allowed for the development of household gadgets as well as computers.
Metallurgy, chemistry, electronics, computing... practically every engineering field... CAD, robotics, materials testing, food preservation... The list just goes on and on.
Sociology became an academic discipline as a result of advances in technology. This led to a greater exposure to other cultures which led to a need to study how social groups interact.
