Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883) Large suspension bridge, "triumph of engineering."
Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent
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.
Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)
Invented the incandescent lamp. Though he was, in general, prone to rude tendencies.

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine
Liverpool and Manchester Railway (1830) Began the first regular commercial rail service
Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent Useful for, like, ship distress calls. Say, for example, the one the Titanic sent out.
Gasoline refinement First occurred in 1850. Gasoline is an important fuel source.
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)

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.
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.
