List: Top 10 Best Technological Innovations in Last Decade
Date: December 2008
Source: Stuff magazine (UK)
Base: Votes provided by readers of the magazine could nominate any new tech gadget introduced to the consumer market since 1999.
Notes: Wireless internet was voted for by more than a third of the readers of Stuff, a UK magazine devoted to 'Gadgets, Gear and Technology'. Probably the only surprises were the failure of digital radio and light-weight laptops to make it into the top ten list. For non-UK readers; a 'Sky+' is a personal video recorder (PVR) and an 'Oyster Card' is an electronic card used for public transport in London.
