Hrmm ... what do you think?
I can see if they're using this list as technologies that were recently developed that changed our modern lifestyle. But if this list is meant to say that these technologies had the greatest impact on our lives, I would have to disagree.
The list should have definitely included the printing press. Without that, education would still be limited to the upper class, and the written word as we know it would still be limited to religious texts.
And on a funny/serious note: fire? The wheel? Tool development/use? Those have had a pretty major impact that's still ongoing even today.
so, while the list makes good points about recent technologies that have really impacted our lives, it's nothing compared to the impact other things have had.
