History of Technology

Best and Worst

It has been a while since I posted something in the Tops of All Time series, but I noticed two recent articles in PC World that fit the bill.  The first is a wistful look back at the 10 Worst PCs of All Time.   The second lists the 50 Best Tech Products of All Time, "those amazing products that changed technology—and our lives—forever."  So what, according to PC World, is "The Beatles," the "Citizen Cane", the "Muhammad Ali" of tech products?

(Drum roll, please...)
