I think the Title of Greatest Invention of the 20 th century should go to Silicon Chip - The Microprocessor Chip which transformed Computing as well as lead to the subsequent emergence of World Wide Web , Internet as well as many of the Embedded devices we see today .
Also,I am not sure about the Internal Combustion (IC) Engine .This is the Engine on which most of our modern day Automobiles and even trains run on Diesel and Petrol .
Open Heart Surgery would be another candidate :
"
Definition of Open heart surgery:
Open heart surgery is any surgery where the chest is opened and surgery is performed on the heart. The term "open" refers to the chest, not the heart itself. The heart may or may not be opened, depending on the type of surgery.
The definition of open heart surgery becomes confusing in light of new procedures being performed on the heart through smaller incisions. There are some new surgical procedures being performed that are done with the heart still beating.
Minimally invasive heart surgery (MIDCAB, OPCAB, RACAB), including robotic-assisted heart surgery, is still considered open heart surgery. However, these procedures are being used in some patients as an alternative to open heart surgery requiring the heart-lung machine.
