Top technology breakthroughs of 2008 – Wired

Wired have just launched their really rather good list of the year’s major tech breakthroughs with Apple’s App Store and Google’s open-source Android operating system topping the bill.

Apple-centric results come as no surprise with Wired and flexible displays should probably have been ranked higher than NASA enhanced Speedos.

Though you cant argue with the inclusion of flash memory and memristors (that means a lot faster computers – Usain Bolt on fire faster…except as a computer…that one didn’t really come off did it?)
