PC World magazine has ranked the major technological inventions of the past few decades that have changed the way we live and work. To be considered for the list, a product not only had to be superior in quality, it also had to be life-changing in some regard. The editors considered hundreds of products through the decades before coming up with the top 50. Each item was rated on popularity, staying power, degree of innovation, and overall influence on the world of technology. Though some items on the list had a short lifespan due to the nature of an ever-changing industry, they are still acknowledged because their influence continues to be seen in many of today’s commercially-available products.
Apple has seven mentions on the list, with two in the top 10. From the early model Apple II at the dawn of the personal computer era in the 70’s to the ubiquitous iPod so many of us tote around today, the list covers a broad spectrum of technology through time. Some of the products that have been around for a while such as Tetris (1985) are still used today, while others have been replaced by newer, faster versions of themselves such as the Nintendo Entertainment system from 1985. One thing they all have in common is that they have left indelible marks on the technology timeline.
Here are the top10 on the 50 Best Tech Products list.
1. Netscape Navigator (1994): In 1994 Marc Andreessen launched Netscape Communications, offering his new Navigator Web browser (based on Mosaic) to the world. Finally, users outside of the academic world would get a taste of HTML, and nothing has been the same since.
