1971: Waffle-Sole Running Shoes


It was bad enough that the link was a slide show but then the waffle-sole running shoe really let me down.

1986: Electronic Mailing List

Éric Thomas develops LISTSERV, the first automated mailing list management application. Before 1986, people had to be manually added or removed from a mailing list. By the 2010s, email newsletters are ubiquitous.

IBM Simon On November 23, 1992, IBM debuted a weird little prototype at a COMDEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although it wouldn't be sold in the U.S. until 1994, the IBM Simon proved a commercial failure. But really, the idea was just way ahead of its time as many people consider the Simon to be the world's first smartphone.

1975: DIGITAL CAMERAS

In 1975, the first nail was hammered into the film camera's coffin when Eastman Kodak engineer Steven Sasson invented the digital camera. The 24-year-old from Brooklyn was the first to use a new technology called digitalization to capture images. Four decades later, we carry his invention in our pockets on our phones.
