Great Ideas

[prillalar]

One of my co-workers asked us all to send him a list of what we considered to be great ideas of recent times. (He was fuzzy on recent but sort of 20th-, 21st-century-ish, I figure.) Here's my list:

• Google
• TV shows on DVD
• the Internet
• the iMac
• water-process decaffeination
• LEGO
• Chicken wings
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer
• The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes
• Dogme 95
• rum and Coke
• the microwave oven
• Dungeons and Dragons
• the EEC (which I always wish Canada could join)
• Monty Python

Anything to add?

Just dropping by to say--I love your list. I feel all warm and fuzzy toward you. If I had anything to add, I think it would probably be the paperback book--a radical 20th century invention (which was all about the glue). And also the walkman.

Paperback books! You're so right.
