   Yup, that's why I said "discover or invent".   
   You may select Galvani or Faraday or your discoverer of electricity.   
   Jet Engine - Frank Whittle - UK   
   Calculus - Newton (UK) or Leibniz - Germany   
   TV - Baird (UK)   
   Radio - Maxwell (UK) or Marconi (Italy)   
   WWW - Tim Berners Lee (UK)   
   Programming Languages - too many to mention.
