 I feel like air travel is conspicuously absent from this list.

I dunno if i would call air travel a driver of economic growth - it's certainly an excellent luxury and convenience, but i wouldn't say either that it's crucial to the modern world.
Getting a thing or person to the other side of the world, routinely and super reliably, in a day instead of several weeks is a huge deal.

edit: a thing, for example a nuclear bomb
