    I just finished up this debate in the office and I feel the clear winner is.....DVR/Tivo.

    Thoughts?

    When did digital cameras become mainstream for our industry? No more film, D76, fixer (ugh!), negs or prints.

    Ipods.

    Yup. I'd go with the iPod. Not the first digital music player, but it was a game changer.

    By the way, I did check this -- TIVO is a bit more than a decade old now.

    Certainly not the first. I think those arrived in 1997 or so. I remember doing a story on the Diamond Rio players (the second portable music player to arrive) around that time. Most sales clerks were convinced those things had no future and they were right to a degree. Most of those first portable players ended up in the dustbin of history around 1999 or 2000.

    I think it took about one more year before the IPod really made inroads into the portable digital music market.

    Even though they're not an inventions, I'd put Facebook and Twitter up there.

    We still have five and a half months to get those damned flying cars we were promised, so I'm abstaining from the vote until then.
