12 technologies that changed the world

What are the top world-changing technologies of all time?

IT World Canada has a geeky but fun slideshow listing the top dozen of these game-changers, from Sputnik to the Slammer Worm to iTunes and ...  Pong? Yes, Pong. Literally, a game changer. (I remember playing it when it came out. It really did rock your senses. At the time.)
