I, too, am a fan of the printed word. An eReader just cannot take the place of a book in my world. The feel, the smell, and especially the history of holding a book that is 100 years old...some things just cannot be replaced. I do think eReader's have their place in this world, though - like replacing some textbooks, for example. What a great list!

The music synthesizer ,the pc, the cell phone (NOT THE iPhone)... etc the RIM? R U joking? May as well have chosen the Newton. The Nintendo? Get out of your cave man!

SO THERE. ;) I'm with you on Polaroids, though. I absolutely adore my Kindle and can't wait for the iPad. SO THERE. ;) I'm with you on Polaroids, though.

Pong started it all, and I'd have to put the car on my list. Before the car the majority of the population never traveled more than 15 miles from their home during their lifetime. No...

I'm sticking with paper too. If I had an eReader, I would literally be looking at a screen ALL day.

For me there is one, the commodore 64. At the time when computers needed a cold room, and were the size of refrigerators, and printers as big as a supermarket car, buying my first Commodore, taking it home, connecting it to my TV and programming my own games, was a taste of being in the Enterprise (Star Trek). Second, the TV, man what and invention. Third, the phone, as the ground for how we spend our time. Fourth, the satellites, as the conduit to so much real-time communications. Fifth, iPhone as the summary of today's technology. All these things together, have made the TODAY which we enjoy. Imagine seeing the news of the Ballon Boy in my phone, while driving, and bitting my nails with other 54 million people as the Rescue guy broke the ballon in pieces with an axe!!! What a moment, all possible to the items mentioned above. That was a hard assignment given to you. You said it was going to be hard, to pick the five. For me there is one, the commodore 64.
