The 10 Most Disruptive Technology Combinations

Dan Tynan, PC World Wed Mar 19, 1:00 AM ET

If there's one thing the digital revolution has taught us, it's that we shouldn't get too attached to anything. Technology has a way of seizing long-held ideas and entrenched industries and turning them upside-down.

I did read the "article." Misleading and whiney.

And Mr. Tynan, if you're going to profess the "10 Most Disruptive Technology Combinations," don't supply us with 5 pairs and 5 "bonus things."

Fuck, what is this? Choose your own adventure? I demerit you, PC World.

i thought this article was going to be about retarded things never being improved because the old technology was too far entrenched. my first thought then was the keyboard. its layout sucks when it comes down to it.

I have to go with e-porn.

[mungopw]

Is eporn porn sent to my email or is it just online porn? I wickied it and didnt have anything on it and googled it and and it was all over the map.....just wondering. if its a total waste of time and on the computer then ive probably done it plenty lol thanks!
