An interesting two-part article (hear and here) on examiner.com lists down the top ten education related inventions. The list includes inventions like the alphabet, printing press, periodic table, dictionary and pens and pencils. The list also includes the computer and internet in one point. The list is very subjective based on author's opinion so one may not agree with all the rankings.
How is this list going to look like several years down the line? In my opinion internet is going to play a bigger role in education and hence more inventions related to it are going to come up in the top ten [or top hundred - the list will have to be bigger as the number of inventions are going to increase multiple fold]. Some technologies , which can make it big and I can think of at this moment, are netbooks, low cost laptops, e-book readers, e-learning and m-learning.
What do you say about the list?
