It would behoove you to read the entirety of The New York Times (nytimes.com) every day for a year. I urge you to learn about NASA's contributions to modern technology.
Furthermore, read about the entire last centuries worth of physics, starting with general relativity and quantum mechanics, and the incredible technology that resulted from this (initially, and periodically) purely mathematical and theoretical work.
After gaining a requisite knowledge of recent scientific advancements, feel free to browse all of the new peer-reviewed scientific papers.
TED is a great way to learn about how new scientific developments (or have affected) affect tens of millions of people across the world.
