The radio, at home and in car.
So much information and choice from a small piece of equipment all through the day and night.

Spectacles, Glasses, Eyeglasses, (depending on where you’re from)

Without them so many people would be unable to see clearly, or as they get older continue to read.
Perhaps not technical in the mechanical device sense, but requiring a lot of technical ability to produce.

Best wishes,
Mayfield
Of course if we are talking only recent devices POWER TOOLS making tedious jobs easy, Mmmm Cordless Drills, Routers, Power saws, Sanders, quick where’s that tool catalogue, must have a fix!

Two I cannot separate - dishwasher and washing machine. I could live without the rest mentioned here and indeed in my lifetime have.

TV is a great boon, but in my opinion the telephone and all the communication developments that have sprung from that.
