1. Airplane
Airplanes have changed the way we travelled for hundreds of years. It was a huge leap forward in the transportation field. Truly gave meaning to "we live in a small world".
2. Rocket
Rockets allowed us to explore outside Earth's boundaries. It allowed us to reach the moon, and maybe one day, Mars. We should always shoot for the stars.
3. Digital Camera
Digital camera was a huge leap in the camera industry. This invention proved that even the incumbent giant Kodak couldn't survive.
4. 3D Printer
3D printing changed the world of manufacturing. Although this invention has only picked up in the recent years, it poses a huge threat to existing manufacturing technologies.
5. Personal computer
Personal computers revolutionized the computer industry. It paved a way for the world we live in today. Additionally, Apple's focus on customer experience also has shown its value and companies today operate under similar standards.
6. Internet
The Internet brought the world together in a different way the airplanes did. It allowed for information across the globe to be distributed and accessed. As we move into the Internet of Things, more and more things in our lives will be connected to this invention.
7. Cement

7. Cement
This changed the way we construct things. We can use cement to mold things into shape, thus creating huge structures such as skyscrapers. It made construction easier and less time consuming.
8. Irrigation
Irrigation is an extremely important ancient invention. With irrigation, humans were able to move away from rivers and bodies of water and move more inland. By altering the direction of water, humans could now grow crops inland. It changed agriculture.
9. Semiconductor
This is essential to the construction of electrical equipment. This is the building block of most technological advances, and without this invention, most of the things we use today would not exist.
10. Vaccination
The vaccination was a huge health field invention. It allowed for humans to survive diseases and it contributes largely to the reason why humans have survived on Earth for so long. It helps us fight diseases and germs that would otherwise decimate the human population.
I like the list you made for the inventions. I think the list has a lot of strengths, especially that you included bio medical advancements such as vaccinations. I think placing things like that in this list of inventions considers technology in a holistic point of view.
