Pretty much yes. It's made life a lot easier. So many great things have been made possible because of the internet.

I'd put running water/irrigation out ranks the internet. Basically anything that helps out immensely with basic needs I'd say outranks the internet

All of history?

The Wheel
Vaccinations
Irrigation
The Pencil
Paper
Printing Press
Trains
Ships
Roads
Planes
Radio
Glass
Concrete
Dynamos
Telegraph
Telephone
Electricity/power grids
Sanitation
Antibiotics

The Internet is greatest invention of recent human history post world war II. But not all of history.

It is not, no. Even from sheerly tech putting it higher than the computer itself, the mouse, the GUI, HDD's, and non-Assembly coding languages is a bit of a stretch.

The smartphone with the internet is probably number 1

It offers access to a world wide audio/video/text communication device, translators, all the math tools you could ever need, cameras, flashlights and access to the entire collection of human knowledge from a small screen in your pocket.

True, electrocuting rocks and then telling them how to do math is pretty based

Packet theory and routing and data flow is pretty boring by comparison

This is like saying you shouldn't put the printing press over gears and woodworking

Actually I think paper (necessary part of the printing press) has a better argument than any of the things you listed. The culmination is more important than the individual parts tbh

Probably top 5 Post-WWII, as many "inventions" after that were just improvements on things that already existed.

Not really, no. A parallel with gears in the printing press would be something like RAM or superconductors. In addition the Internet is the culmination of things like the UseNet, not the computer itself.
