'So much in this world could be driven by a 3.5mm audio jack': 25+ of the the most underrated inventions we couldn't live without

It's all too easy to talk smack about the human race, but if we put aside the countless atrocities we are responsible for some pretty cool things. We've come up with some amazing inventions during our limited time on Earth, many of which we take for granted in our everyday lives. To state the obvious, it's crazy the amount of work that has gone in to make you able to read this on your screen right now. That's no mean feat.

Ingenuity can be found everywhere if we care to look, as one insightful Twitter thread has recently pointed out. Asking about examples of technology that both work well and aren't overhyped, many people had some thoughtful answers.
