The can opener was invented before the microwave. The first can opener was patented in 1855, while the microwave oven was not invented until 1946. Can openers were developed to open sealed cans, which became popular in the early 19th century for preserving food, whereas microwaves were developed much later as a cooking appliance utilizing electromagnetic radiation.

What has more resistance on a 120v line --- a 1400 W microwave or a 150 w electric can opener?

To determine which device has more resistance on a 120V line, we can use Ohm's Law (R = V^2 / P). For the microwave: R = (120V)^2 / 1400W = 10.29 ohms. For the can opener: R = (120V)^2 / 150W = 96 ohms. Therefore, the 150W electric can opener has more resistance than the 1400W microwave.
