You didn't mention that before :)
How about 'Who invented the internet?' Hint: it wasnot Al Gore.
But trying to answer that one could take more then 5 minutes; a better choice might be 'Who invented the World Wide Web?' -- you should be able to get a short presentation from that.

I invented the internet.
Anyways, the internet started out as some military experiment and now is an everday lifestyle, so that's what I would choose. Of course there is the invention of the computer.
