I think the 'technology boost' wonder comes nicely with the scientific method tech. Enlightenment brought many ideas and innovations, but the real scientific revolutions could be seen as being writing, invention, and then scientific method.
Enlightenment was much about bringing new ideas, especially philosophical ideas to the world. Scientific method was about codifying and giving efficient processes to scientific research, so that it becomes much more efficient.
Despite being an evolutionist, I actually don't think the Theory of Evolution is the best possible thing to represent a scientific boost. There must be scientific theories following the scientific method around there, which have been more influencial in the technology scene than Darwin's.
Maybe Einstein's Theory of Relativity could replace Evolution. It had a major influence on modern physics, is very famous as well, and I don't think it is controversial anywhere. It sure arrived much later than the time scientific method was designed, but who cares ? After all, wonders do take time to build
