Invented the incandescent lamp. Though he was, in general, prone to rude tendencies.
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)
James Watt's efficient steam engine (1765) 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.
Richard Arkwright's water frame (1769)
Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent
Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine
First steam-powered mill (1779) Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.
Alfred Nobel's dynamite (1867)
Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph and Morse Code (1837) This would allow for long-distance communication
Cathode rays discovered
Karl Benz's internal-combustion automobile engine (1885)
From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Liverpool and Manchester Railway (1830) Began the first regular commercial rail service
Gasoline refinement
For the World Exposition in Paris
William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792) Lit his home using coal gas. Also, he was James Watt's assistant.
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.
Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876) Made communicating across long distances much easier, but such conversations still had to be done in public, etc.,
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.
Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph (1877) This is a record player. Useful for music, instructions, etc.,
Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854) Revolutionized the production of steel
Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838)
Cartwright's power loom (1787) According to wikipedia:
First ancestor of the computer
James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal
Under the Thames
First transatlantic cable completed 1858
James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny Automated thread spinning
John Kay (1733)'s flying shuttle
Large suspension bridge, "triumph of engineering."

Karl Benz's internal-combustion automobile engine (1885) cars go vroom
Revolutionized the production of steel
James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal Allowed for barges to carry coal from Worsely to Manchester
First transatlantic cable completed
Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876) Made communicating across long distances much easier, but such conversations still had to be done in public, etc.,
This is a record player. Useful for music, instructions, etc.,
Began the first regular commercial rail service
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.
Michael Faraday (1831)'s discovery of electromagnetic currents Made generators and electrical engines possible

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago)
Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent Useful for, like, ship distress calls. Say, for example, the one the Titanic sent out.
Tremendously helped with making weaving easier, used in the putting-out industry at first.
Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration
Singer's first practical sewing machine (1851) Allowed for more sewing, including at-home
First steam-powered mill (1779) Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.
