Best Thing About The Last 25 Years? INVENTIONS!
A smiling young woman sits in the window seat of her aircraft. She holds a beverage in one hand and her smart phone in another as she enjoys the wifi. Her earbuds rest on a tray in front of her.
A lot can happen in five years, let a lone 25 years. So, a new survey asked people what they think the best invention came from the last 25 years.
Here are the top 10:
1. Wi-Fi. The “Internet” didn’t qualify because it’s over 25 years old.
2. Smartphones.
3. Online banking.
4. Online search engines, like Google.
5. Online shopping platforms, like Amazon.
6. Stem cell technology.
7. GPS.
8. Flat-screen TVs.
9. Contactless payment, where you just hover your credit card or phone over the machine instead of swiping. (THAT made the top 10?)
10. Tablet devices.
