I’m going to have to go with Amazon. It has significantly improved my life and made it easier. I order so much stuff on the site and it is delivered straight to my door. The speed and efficiency is unparalleled. 10/10 convenience. I buy a lot of specialty items too so I don’t have to spend hours driving around and walking around in large stores. Jeff Bezos deserves billions.

Crypto
good one.
I still have yet to use cryptocurrencies for anything other than speculation.
Has to be the smartphone - entire cities and industries were built off that technology.
For sure a lot of negatives with it. But the smartphone disrupted basically every consumer industry in ways that were inconceivable a 10-20 years ago
Yeah good one
Low cost electric vehicles.
if I consider 1983 as the year the internet was born, that doesn't count (spoiler alert, I'm not 40).
however, I vote for the world wide web (came about in 1989). on balance I think it's the best invention of my lifetime.
I was going to say "Internet", reading all the other posts makes me feel old af.
Yeah the internet is probably top.
Internet/WiFi
Probably Crocs
If we may narrow our definition to a single product/service then I'd have to say Google Maps ranks highly.
Critical Race Theory has done wonders for the world
Birth control
Because DNA doesn't care if you are happy or sad, just nut
Google
CRISPR/Cas9 and the technologies that follow it could turn out to be more consequential for the future of humanity than the internet.
E-commerce platforms like Amazon/Ebay typically don't regulate these products, so there's no way of knowing if you are buying a knockoff or a stolen product. Stick to buying these in person or at worst from the online section of a reliable shop that you know carries these goods (ex. Saxs 5th).
Idk if you know now but eBay has rolled out an authenticity program for watches, rare sneakers, etc. when you buy a certain collectible, it’s first shipped to an authenticator, then verified with an RFID tag, and shipped to you after.
Doubt it’s full proof but better than just relying on a sellers ratings alone.
