Aside from computers, what are the most impactful inventions since the 1950s?

Some of the biggest inventions since 1950 include: the transistor, the birth control pill, the personal computer, the internet, the mobile phone, GPS, MRI scans, the barcode, the World Wide Web, and the smartphone, all of which significantly impacted daily life and various industries across the globe.

So computer related inventions. Every other major invention was around by the 50s: cars, televisions, phones, microwaves, air conditioning, etc. We could already do most things that computers do, it just took longer. Catalogs instead of Amazon, for example.

Not just computer related... I'd say the birth control pill was a massive invention that dramatically transformed society. Space flight was also a big one--and underpinned the GPS. And of course much of what you call "computer related" wouldn't have been possible without the transistor, which as an electrical engineer... Is HUGE. And the cellular phone might also be considered "computer related", but the cellular phone and then the smartphone transformed society in a major way.

The internet/WWW was obviously "computer related", but I'd argue that the impact they've had on society far outweighs the mere invention of the PC...

Now compare that to what got invented over the same timespan (65 years) prior to the 50s.

I feel like the measles vaccine was a pretty good invention.

I'm not denigrating ANY of the inventions you brought up from the prior era. They're all massive. 

You were the one who seemed to be minimized the stuff post-1950 as just "computer stuff" like it's all trivial in comparison. I was just defending them.
