Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854)
Mass slaughter is now possible, begins mechanization of warfare. Unfortunately, as some predicted, his machine gun did not prevent war — people still fought, despite these monsters being on the battlefield.
More efficient thread spinning
Allowed for barges to carry coal from Worsely to Manchester
Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris
Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.
Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph (1877)

Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration George Stephenson's Rocket, 1829, would lead to great railroad infrastructure, which helped with city planning, made moving to the city easier, and made trade and large-scale commerce much better. For example, now placing factories in population centers made more sense. (I barely understand why myself, but okay)

This would allow for long-distance communication
Robert Fulton (1807)'s Clermont The first successful steamboat. Like the locomotive, made trade so, so much better. For example, now the US could leverage its advantage in having the Mississippi river.
First ancestor of the computer
Thomas Edison (1879) Invented the incandescent lamp. Though he was, in general, prone to rude tendencies.
Tremendously helped with making weaving easier, used in the putting-out industry at first.

This is a record player. Useful for music, instructions, etc.,
Eli Whitney (1793)'s cotton gin This separated the useful raw cotton from its seeds, making the cotton industry much more profitable. It had mixed effects — remember how a lot of cotton was farmed using slave labor.
