CRISPR is at least as big an innovation as the ones you mention. Perhaps you are biased to the areas where you have the most familiarity ?

I didn't think of CRISPR and related genomics work. It definitely has potential to change the world like commercial flight or the internet, but I don't think it has yet...
Definitely something I need to keep thinking about. Biology probably is the next area to see some giant advances like physics did 80 years ago.
