Antibiotics? Stereo recordings? Cmmercially viable (!) television?
Ball-point pens? ABS canoes? "Reliable" weather forcasts? Jet airplane
travel for the masses? Reliable refrigeration for transport of
perishables? Waxless &/or steel-edged skiis? Multi-speed bicycles?
Automobile seat beelts? Reliably uniform (mostly) highway systems?
Quality photography for amateurs?

A little thought could generate many more examples.
