Top 25 Innovations of the Past 25 Years

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the counting-them-down dept.

HarvardAce writes "CNN has just released a list of 24 of the top 25 innovations of the past 25 years. Most of them are things we use every day in life, such as cell phones (#2), PCs (#3), and e-mail (#5). CNN won't release the #1 innovation until Sunday, January 18 at 8pm EST (Monday, Jan 19 @ 1AM GMT), so I wanted to see if Slashdot users could come up with what they think the #1 innovation is and comment on the rest of the list."

    Since they put "commercialized GPS" on there, I guess "commercialized Internet" might be a valid option - it would certainly cover the sub-applications like web, voip, email, etc.
