According to wikipedia:
John Kay (1733)'s flying shuttle
Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent
Useful for, like, ship distress calls. Say, for example, the one the Titanic sent out.
Gugliemo Marconi (1901) transatlantic radio message
From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Eiffel Tower (1889)
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.
Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838)
Early form of photography
Karl Benz's internal-combustion automobile engine (1885)
cars go vroom
Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854)
Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.
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.
Began the first regular commercial rail service
Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph and Morse Code (1837)
This would allow for long-distance communication
Made generators and electrical engines possible
Joseph Monier (1849)
Reinforced Concrete
Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)
Large suspension bridge, "triumph of engineering."
Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)
James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny
Automated thread spinning
First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago)
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.
1858
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)
Marc Brunel's first underwater tunnel (1826-1842)
Under the Thames
Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876)
William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792)
Lit his home using coal gas. Also, he was James Watt's assistant.
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.
Helped plant crops
Invented the incandescent lamp. Though he was, in general, prone to rude tendencies.
Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph (1877)
First transatlantic cable completed
1858
