Hmm... after some serious and actual thought:
Pokemon Blue/Red (I had both) Not joking when I say it half taught me to read. It also introduced me to video games as something that took thought (Pokemon is hard when your 5)

My 4th Grade English Teacher: Made me semi-like some things about school whether he knows it or not.

Some documentary on the History Channel that I don't know the name about WWI that first got me into history in general. Randomly flipping FTW.

Only anime shows I've felt any interest in over the years are Pokemon (original TV series) and various hentai.

Not in order:
1. The internet (no kidding, this is where I learned a lot)
2. Music (how else would I drown my emotions?)
3. Friends (the times we had, and the times I got pissed off etc)

There are lots of things that change my life, I guess, but I think these are the main few.

Oh snap, I totally just realized I need to change my answer.

1) My parents' divorce
2) One particular person on one particular IRC channel (both shall remain unnamed)
3) Books by C.S. Lewis

The high school thing was a result of #1, so it's kind of redundant anyway.

Hmm. Not in any specific order.

Getting internet. The people, the information, the things branching off of it... it's immense.
My mother's death. That's one way of life for telling me to get off my ass and start living.
One Hundred Years Of Solitude. If it weren't for that book, I'd still be stuck with harry potter and other contemporary bestsellers, or wouldn't have read nearly as much as I did.

I might become gay for the both of you. Mwah.

The Hobbit. The first book that ever revealed what worlds lay in words, propelled me into books and the internet.

My brother. He was the first to show me that great adventures start with the will to complete them. Since then, I've been addicted to travel: a month long backpacking trip through the wilderness to the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States, hitchhiking as a hobo up the Western coast and camping with the other homeless or being taken in by strangers for good food and soft places to sleep, and soon I'll be either driving through South America with my good friend Uri or researching mammalian homeostatic techniques in Japan to help develop more effective pharmaceuticals or else joining a fishing crew off of the Aleutian chain.

Hallucinogenics. There's nothing in the world that can more powerfully or quickly alter your permanent perceptions of the human experience and nothing that can so effectively demonstrate the fragility of the mind.

Truth can never harm scientific investigation. Heck, even theories and hypotheses can't harm scientific investigation.

Not that I intend to imply that truth is a scientific construct like hypothesis and theory.

EDIT: My bad, you said innovation. But innovation can't be impeded by having more ideas on the table. Rejecting ideas categorically, however, certainly impedes scientific innovation, to say nothing of rational thought.
