Possibly the best "invention" of the 50's as far as benefitting mankind? Polio vaccine. I remember too well seeing kids may age in leg braces, on crutches, and photos of them being doomed to iron lungs.
The tech breakthrough I loved? Transistor radio...remember the first one I bought. Mowed a lot of lawns to earn it's $40 price tag...a lot of money back then.
