Seven Wonders of Science and Technology

According to the International Conference on Physics Education 2007 attendees (Full text here). Attendees voted on science and technology things that they felt had the greatest impact on modern life:

1. The World Wide Web
   
2. Nanotechnology
   
3. Satellite Communications
   
4. Medical and Industrial Imaging
   
5. Transistors
   
6. Lasers
   
7. Wireless Communications
   

Obviously, there's some overlap. Airplanes and electrical generators tied for 8^th place, one vote behind wireless communications.

Edit: Please read the linked article before arguing with what you think it must have said. :)

But this prevents it from folding against the arm like it's supposed to. If you want to mod yours to get past this problem, here's some pics:
