You Like Lists, Do You? Here Are Fifty of ’em

By  |  Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 11:22 am

We technology journalists are an obsessive-compulsive bunch. We like compiling lists–for the simple reason that people like reading lists. It only gets worse at the end of the year. And this being the end of the decade*, there are enough tech lists being published out there to wallpaper Bill Gates’ house.

We published one decade-related list ourselves (This Dumb Decade: The 87 Lamest Moments in Tech, 2000-2009), and one 2009-oriented one (Technologizer’s Second Annual Game Awards). But if that’s not enough to sate you, graze on these fifty additional lists about the decade, 2009, and 2010. Don’t read them all, though–your head might explode.

*Sorry, “the decade doesn’t begin until 2011” theorists: The dictionary says that a decade is any ten-year period. Go ahead and commemorate 2001-2010 if you want, but you’re way, way outnumbered by the 2000-2009 crowd.
