Transporter. Imagine- you would no longer have to live where you worked. The entire global economy would be transformed. You could live with your friends and family, the climate that you liked, and then go where you were needed. Relocation wouldn't even be an issue.
However, the downside (as someone once pointed out to me) is that it would also make it significantly easier to invade countries and such. Such a technology would be trouble in the world the way it is, we'd need to get to the global government they have in Star Trek first.
Edited to add something I forgot-
A medical tricorder. Having recently been ill and not known what was wrong with me, I really, really wanted them to just wave the tricorder and find out. And then use that gizmo that they have to kill off the icky germs (because then I wouldn't have discovered my amoxicillin allergy. Hives ain't sexy).
