DNA is an invention? Or are you referring to the mapping of the human genome?
And as for #2, the pill, is that Viagra? LOL

Change Television to Telephone or combine Computer and Internet
Electric Light belongs on the list for what that meant to society.
Movable Type Printing Press belongs on the list for how that put books (and therefore access to knowledge) in the hands of more than just the rich.
If The Pill is considered an invention, the Small Pox Vaccine or the Polio Vaccine probably saved more lives and made more of an impact on the world at large.
Interesting topic.
