For me the most important invention was indoor plumbing..I remember chamber pots under beds at grandma’s farm.
I agree that indoor plumbing is the number one best improvement to the lives of modern humans. The rest of our technological innovations pale in comparison to that.
I could probably deal with using a privy, but pumping/hauling water for cooking, cleaning and bathing would be rough. On the other hand, living without electricity...

As much as I love indoor lighting and electronic communications mediums, I'd have to go with indoor plumbing if I were forced to choose.
Washing clothes sure would be a pain, though. I remember washing boards!
