Actually, there have been a lot (many would say too many) tinmes when
technology changed the course of humanity forever.  E.g., gunpowder,
the atomic bomb, and the transistor.

You might add "change it unrecognizably", or some such.  Googling for
"singularity" will probably yield a lot of good ideas.
