According to wikipedia:

Singer's first practical sewing machine (1851)

From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago)

James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal Allowed for barges to carry coal from Worsely to Manchester

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.

First steam-powered mill (1779) Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.

John Kay (1733)'s flying shuttle Tremendously helped with making weaving easier, used in the putting-out industry at first.

First occurred in 1850. Gasoline is an important fuel source.

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)

Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854)

First transatlantic cable completed

Lit his home using coal gas. Also, he was James Watt's assistant.

Early form of photography

Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration

Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent

Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph (1877) This is a record player. Useful for music, instructions, etc.,

James Watt's efficient steam engine (1765)

James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny Automated thread spinning

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

According to wikipedia:

Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph (1877)

cars go vroom

Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration

Helped plant crops

Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854)

Richard Arkwright's water frame (1769) More efficient thread spinning

Made generators and electrical engines possible

Like fifty years later, they finally came out with a steam engine with a condensing chamber, making it more efficient. Also a pretty big deal.

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine First commercially successful (though kind of clumsy) steam engine, used to pump water out of coal mines. Big deal, since we've just unlocked a new power source.

Cathode rays discovered 1858

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838)

John Kay (1733)'s flying shuttle

Robert Fulton (1807)'s Clermont

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)

Began the first regular commercial rail service

Useful for, like, ship distress calls. Say, for example, the one the Titanic sent out.

Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.

Invented the incandescent lamp. Though he was, in general, prone to rude tendencies.

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876)

William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792)

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago) 1883
