Which company has changed your life?

There is a great article over at Salon.com. The interesting quote:

Now, for the first time in almost two decades, there's a good -- great -- feeling attached to the Apple brand, a haze of optimism that is unlike the sensation we feel for all but the most cherished of consumer tech products. (There's Google, there's TiVo, and there's Apple: Can you think of any other company that has recently changed your life as you know it?)

I'm interested to see if there are any other companies out there that have changed your life like these? I don't have a Tivo because I don't have a phone line (how hard is it to figure out that the people who drop their traditional phone line are Tivo's target customer!), but the other two (Goggle & Apple) have definitely impacted my life. The only other technology that has had as great an impact is Blogging, and everything associated with it.
