wheels have been made better in tons of ways, wuch as tires and braking systems which have been constantly improved for over 100 years now. and now multiple companies have teams working on incorporating a motor into the wheel hub, which can be used both to propel the car as well as function as brakes by generating electricity

the integrated circuit - the ability to produce transistors in small enough scale as to allow much faster processing speeds than would otherwise be possible has been of great benefit to pretty much every field of science. It's also become integrated into devices used every day by a large percentage of the population of the planet.

Printing press / radio / steam engine were fantastic inventions for their time, but it's 2010 now!
