2010 is upon us. What is your favorite invention of the last decade?

[McHanhan]

As we approach 2010.. I am curious to hear what you all think is the gadget of the decade?

So many big things came out so I thought it would be a good topic.

My vote goes to the Smart Phones (iPhone & Blackberry). It revolutionized (albeit building on older technology such as the Palm OS and touchscreens) how we process and multitask on a mobile platform. Its amazing how its changed everything. I now can't think of living without my iPhone which does even more then what my previous phones did. (If you think the Iphone as a unit is crap, spare me the lecture. It's my view and I like the way it is with its little faults and explosions.)

So what are your favorite inventions of the last 10 years?.

 

[Subzerowings]

The LHC (Large Hadron Collider).
Because in 2010, people won't laugh at me anymore for believing in the existence of the Higgs boson and String theory.

That Black hole thingy. that was pretty cool.

Oh and Zero Punctuation was a great invention

 

[El Poncho]

Aids Vaccine( that counts as an invention right?) Thats a pretty big thing to be honest.

 

[Abedeus]

That Black hole thingy. that was pretty cool.

It never worked. If I pick up a stone and paint it black, can I claim I created a black moonstone?

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Yeah, ZP is a good canidate.

My vote goes for Gmod and the Bacon Blowtorch:

 

[Raven's Nest]

Hmm, ten years worth of innovation is hard to properly acknowledge and choose from but things like Blu-Ray and Broadband internet stick out...

Me neither. I can't believe I use to have to go a whole 30 minutes without checking Facebook. (Apologies in advance if you use yours for important and useful reasons.)

OT:I dunno, not many recent inventions have been "great" by my narrow-minded and uneducated definition. Maybe LCD televisions.

 

[cuddly_tomato]

Nat Geo Wild, if that counts.

That gell thingy dentists can use on teeth, that's awesome too.

well i will tell you when the decade ends in 2010. decades run from 1 - 10, not 10 - 9.

your math fails. learn to count in the decimal system

My vote goes to the Smart Phones (iPhone & Blackberry).

this is also a fail cause the Blackberry was invented in the 90s

My apologies for not meeting your requirements or expectations.

Youtube...

 

[Dragon_of_red]

Them Crooked Vultures.

They may only be a band, but they have David Grohl, John Paul Jones, and Josh Homme.

Yea, you need to take a shower now, don't 'cha?

I may just need to change my pants...

But the span from 2000-2010 IS ten years, so therefore that period can be labelled a decade. If you count 2010 as part of this decade, that would equal 11 years, which isn't a decade. Permit me to demonstrate

2000-2001 = 1 year
2001-2002 = 2 years
2002-2003 = 3 years
2003-2004 = 4 years
2004-2005 = 5 years
2005-2006 = 6 years
2006-2007 = 7 years
2007-2008 = 8 years
2008-2009 = 9 years
2009-2010 = TEN YEARS, ALSO KNOWN AS A DECADE. Amazing, huh?

Pedantic much?. 2010 is a decade from the year 2000. Sure it hasn't ended but it's the start of of the ending decade. It's obvious the OP just wants to know what the best tech thus far from the year 2000 is, and if you can't appreciate the question then why waste your breath with such an asshole of a post?.

OT: I'd say the ipod. It may not be the best mp3 player available but it sure moved the market in portable music.

Pure win

OT:I think the best invention of the decade is Halo.
Just incase I start a flame war.

Armadill Aerospace [http://www.armadilloaerospace.com/n.x/Armadillo/Home], SpaceX [http://www.spacex.com/] and all of their works.

They are my favorite private aerospace development firms and are what I hope are the vanguards of the tipping point for private space development.
