In my history it has to be open source.
When it grew from a hobbyist mentality to a philosophy and movement it got legs.
From the pioneering of Stallman to Torvalds' breakout and the descendent accomplishments of countless contributors, the number of enabling technolgies, technical and commercial obstacles overcome, open source will touch every form of life on Earth. (and beyond, should we find any)
Of course, water eventually touches every form of life on Earth but long nights leave me feeling dramatic.
