The internet, really. Didn't get introduced to it until late highschool, so by that time I already had lots of painful experiences trying to find information for papers and projects at the local libraries. Being able to find information on a computer was kind of mind-blowing.
My introduction to the internet was way before www. As a first year student I mentioned a topic I was interested in to a professor. He said I should email his friend at University of California, Berkeley as he would know about the topic. He gave the address and I went away to find out what this email thing is. The next morning I had a reply. For a farm boy for whom snail mail and telephone were the means of interaction beyond the neighbours this was totally mind blowing. I got advice from a professor in one of the top universities in the world just by emailing him!
