I would say it's a tie between World War 1 and 2.. because that's what brought women into the workforce and out of the strictly housewife role.. it did a lot more, there were a lot of lives lost etc...
basically these wars changed the way the entire world works, and there was nobody left untouched by these wars...

I would have to say the invention of the internet by CERN in 1989? Without it where would we all be today? I know where, doing usefull stuff like socialising in person 
The internet has opened up a 4th dimention in communications, a whole new world information at the tip of the finger is just seconds away. It is one place were freedom of speech can truly exist (doesnt necessarily mean that it does everywhere on the internet though).
Why go to a bar, when all you can do is search all people in your area who are single?
Why go to Pizza Hut when you can just order through their internet site?
Why pay loads for music, games, videos etc when you can download p2p filesharing software?
Why phone somebody when you can just have a video conversation on msn or netmeeting for free?
Without the internet, what would the world be like today? Dull probably!

I know this may sound cliche or something.
But I think that 9/11 Had to be the biggest.. By only destroying 2 buildings it brought the world to a stand still and we are still seeing its effects over sea's today.

I´ve to agree with you had a big effect on all of us, but 9-11 was in 21th Century 
The truth. Often it's hard to find. The truth. Sometimes it leaves you blind. The truth.
It brings you to the light. The truth. Showin' you wrong for right

I vote for my birth... ok well, not a popular opinion but hey, it influenced me

People staring they know you've been broken
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright

It opens a wider point though, Influence is really measured by the effect it has on your own life and surroundings. 9/11 is seen to be one of the single most influential moments in current history, especially if you were directly affected by it or happen to be an Afghan or an Iraqi. However there are plenty of events or incidents which are much more brutal, which involve far more human suffering which are largely forgotten by the western world, the ethnic cleansing in Darfur being a good, recent example.

I totally agree...I asked my mom...and she was like:
'Well...for me, it was the 1985 earthquake here in Mexico...'
She remembers all the comotion it caused back then...so it really depends...
A very good point Gareth...
