Transistor.

The open door policy of this government. allowing all and sundry into the UK and using the tax paid by our national workforce to pay for them instead of using that money to look after our own. Surely the greatest inovation the East European immigrants have ever known!!

vaccines
Western world now rid of most of the debilitating and lethal dieases with blighted lives in 19th century

anasthetic

Social Welfare and reform
Saw the end to the workhouse, child brides (age of consent was 13 until the mid 19th century) prison reform.

Internet/google

[ACtheTROLL]

Based on camioneur's (is that a french nym?) answer

It's got to be the development of a society free of racism and prejudice which blindly use stereotypes rather than logic

[camioneur]

In response to Acthetroll (is that Dutch) the question was: what was the most valuable etc etc.. Your answer describes something that hasn't yet happened in the 21st century let alone the 20th!

You are absolutely right .... as you prove so well ... racism rules .... or at least you'd like to

Electricity is 19th Century

With regard to this country it has to be the National Health Service if you mean innovation.

Nothing else has improved the daily lives of ordinary people in this country as much as that countless number of us owe our lives to it.

In terms of inventions - has to be anti-biotics.

Before anti-biotics dozens of illnesses like TB or syphylis were death sentences and a simple cut turned gangrinous could kill you.

Do without anti-biotics or the Internet?

Not a difficult choice really is it?

[ACtheTROLL]

The NHS is quite important .... a pay out for all the deaths of the first and second world wars - but there are many others ....
it's all a bit like killing the butterfly .... no lekky ... no transistor ...

no nhs ... the guy who invents the internet dies ....

jake-the-peg
mmmmm is the peg a result of mrsa?
it's a problem isn't it? ... and anti-biotics don't realy help do they
