Technologizer's Version of Esquire's "Dubious Achievements"

Once upon a time,

the most achingly funny read of the year.

Link to December 20 Technologizer post, "This Dumb Decade: The 87 Lamest Moments in Tech, 2000-2009".

Excerpt: If ever a decade began dumb, it was this one.* When clocks struck midnight on January 1st and the dreaded Y2K bug turned out to be nothing but a mild irritant, it proved once again that the experts often don’t know what the heck they’re talking about.

Which was a relief–and a fitting way to kick off the technological era we’ve lived in ever since. Yes, it’s been an amazing time.
