>fiber optics
Optical fiber is a 19th century invention, we just made clearer glass and learned how to turn on a lightbulb really fast.

I'll accept the blue LED (which you didn't mention but which I remembered because you said fiber optics) as a truly postwar invention that had huge and practical uses, however. (the LED itself is prewar)
