The internet.  TV only allowed us to view pictures of the rest of the world.  The internet has allowed everyone to actually interact with everyone else on the planet, while revolutionizing pretty much every industry.  There's not much that hasn't been affected in some way by the internet.  I can't think of much else in the 20th century that's had that kind of impact.

Well, everyone on the planet with electricity, a computer, and enough money to keep it online. I'd have to say plastic. Nearly every object I can see in my room contains plastic of some sort or created with some plastic tool.

That wasn't invented till recently. Even if it was in the 20th century how could that be the greatest inventions? New organs? Plastics, home computers, flight, digital watches are all better inventions then ONE out of many possible ways to get new organs.

It's A DiGitaL wATcH!

I hate those things. They were only good for a one time project and even then they were crappy.

Titty bars.

As long as there have been titties, there have been titty bars. Prostitution is the "oldest profession in the world."

As long as there have been titties, there have been titty bars. Prostitution is the "oldest profession in the world."

There have not always been titty bars as we know them today. They reinvent themselves. Back in the 1800's there were brothels. There was no DJ. There was no pole. The women were probably clothed for all stage shows. There was no lapdance. No full bar; just moonshine and some other shit. No girl on girl shows. There was one tenth the selection of lingerie we have now. There was no lunch or happy hour or pool tables or Keno. What there was, was a few haggard whores with 1800's health and dental care. 

Back then people had morals and being a prostitute was frowned upon. In todays society being a hooker makes you cool like Paris Hilton or the girls from Laguna Beach or The Hills and any other shitty MTV show. Since being a slut is popular these days, all our titty bars are packed full of 18-25 year old bitches who find it easier to eat splooge for 2 hours a day than to work at mcdonalds.
