Phew, the biggest? Huge question and there are great answers here already. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and point out how awesome the UPS (uninterruptable power supply) is for normal guys in IT. There's probably one (or a couple) of these bad boys behind every website on the internet today. Then there's all of the schools, businesses, and man caves that rely on this technology when the power stops being reliable.

NextStep / OpenStep

This is for a few reasons:

 

  • Was the development platform for the World Wide Web and the Server to run it.
  • Rock Solid UNIX OS which has allowed Apple to have one step ahead for 15 Years (OSX Server came out in 1999).

Without this Microsoft would be the only real horse in the consumer operating system race and that would have caused progress to slow to a stop, We'd still be on Windows 2000 by now as Microsoft wouldn't have had to really bother with updating the OS with consumer-like features.

One step ahead, Did you not think about Linux in the server space, and if NextStep had not been released, Linux based OS's probably would have overthrown Microsoft in the consumer market if they decided to stop innovating and iterating

Linux didn't have the Object oriented programming in which the World Wide Web was developed on, NextStep wasn't just the web server, it was the development platform for the first web browser.

since you said to pick only one.. i think it's 'Moores law' , Since otherwise the devices we have wouldn't be at this size & have this much performance..

Details separate people.

Consumer level high speed storage devices (SSD's)

I think they are the only thing that made a significant change to my computer in the last few years.

You do realize that you can program in any language, I could program in Java on Linux or I could use Python or C or C++. C++, Java and Python are object oriented, C++ has been around since 1983 and Python has been around since 1991, Java was 1995 (but that was after the World Wide Web)

I know programming languages have been around that long but you didn't read my post correctly, Only NextStep/OpenStep had OBJECT Oriented Programming. The World Wide Web Browser was released in December 1990.

 

Plus this is ancient history were talking about (In the computer world). Tim Burners Lee chose NextStep for his development platform due to a rock solid Unix underpinning, amazing networking abilities and the Object Oriented Programming environment. Linux didn't even exist in 1990, in fact the initial release of Linux was in 1991.

C++ is object oriented, it was originally called C with Class and it has been around since 1983. oh woops thought the world wide web was developed in 1993, actually 89-91. my mistake
