10 Most Brilliant Inventions of 2007 - R&D Magazine

While these all sound like fine examples, I think personal communications devices took an remarkable turn towards the future with Apple's iPhone. Its not the phone, its the UI that is so remarkable.

I like the pure water concept.

thank god! no lphone!

you guys are  idiots these are legit inventions to improve the quality and safety of lives......ipod who cares about a damn ipod

i'd just like to post a comment to say that i agree with "WTF..." ... if you thing that the iPod/iPhone/iWTF is one of the most remarkable and important inventions you need an iBrain or maybe an iLife ... sad ...very sad ... (btw ... no I am not some anti-gadet-kind-of-person ... I LUVVV gadgets !!!)

the technology for that was introduced this year and it drastically improves on the way touch technology is seen. microsoft has created technology that can make any surface, an interactive touch gui by using millions of tiny cameras underneath a surface that respond, and track finger movement along a surface. This technology can pretty much make any surface a touch computer without any risk of touch related damage.

I usually don't intervene in the comments section, unless a reader addresses a message to me. But I've been watching the comments here and those submitted to Digg and I see that several readers are defending other technologies that R&D Magazine did not choose, such as the IPhone or a computer technology.

I cannot disagree that those technologies are very important. But I do think that the substantive difference is that the 100 R&D Magazine winners, and particularly 9 of the 10 innovations I chose, are potentially life-saving technologies. They can profoundly impact a world greater than the microcosm of those comfortably able to spend their lives using high tech consumer communication technology. There is a larger universe.

Anyway, thanks to all of you for sharing your opinions. They are fun, and sometimes funny, to read.

 I'm totally loving the Safe Clothing!

Oh, and nice job with the robot, Lego! But, c'mon... Alpha Rex?!? That is SO Johnny 5. Someone needs to add "Short Circuit" to their Netflix queue, I'm thinkin'.

Great list, thank you! Off to check out the other 90.

The world's first disposable razor CLEANER. http://www.razor-gator.com. It's really popular on YTMND.

Human inventiveness and ingenuity is truly amazing. Now if someone could invent a non-invasive way to heal dental pulp infections they would become billionaires overnight!

What a great list! Such important inventions. I am going to have to check out the whole top 100. I like that you chose important inventions that will make a difference in the world.

The innovations in this year are way too cool!!!

I was a little surprised to not see Camileon Heels listed... Adjustable height heels were relevant enough for the top of 2007 in Time Magazine, and I would have thought they'd make a splash here, too.

Let's start thinking about 2008. 2007 is so a year ago! ^.^
