I can't really come up with anything so game-changing. I have to exclude things that came around before I was old enough to be aware of things because I have no way to compare life without them.
I suppose the closest thing I can come up with are ATMs. When they came around, it made a tremendous difference in my life. Being about to do basic banking when the banks were closed was incredible.

- JohnFen 2y agoIf I'd answered this question a decade ago, I would have said the internet, but (especially the web) has been getting increasingly problematic for me, and I have something akin to "buyer's remorse". The cost/benefit ratio has turned unfavorable. At this point, I don't really think of it as a positive game-changer on the whole. Instead, I put energy into decreasing my dependence on it and increasing the separation between it and my real life needs.
