would be even better if Next gen Sky+ or SkyHD incorporated a DVD recorder for ease of copying to take with you on the move to watch elsewhere

Sky+ = 21st Century (developed in 2001, launched in 2001)
Xbox 360 = 2005

To be honest neither are invetions anyway, they are merely developments, both were invented in the 20th century, the PVR and the games console.

There are no great inventions imho cause the inventions which have been made have ruinied the World.. What would of happened if roswell never happened ? Would we have all this technology ? No.. Ever since that crash theres been 1000's upon 1000's of new ideas and what nots and whats it done ? Ruined the planet cause people are dependent on them and when they break ??? All hell breaks loose... But if i was to choose one the silicon chip why?? cause it lets me do most things.. Watch tv, play ps2, chat away on this website, wash my clothes on a cycle, sets my alarm, allows me to get paid and so on.. If the silicon chip was never invented then we would all be how we used to be.. Thanks Aliens who crashed happy

I think whilst hard drives have remained quite static and boring, CD's, in one form or another, progressed to change our lives so much in the 80's and 90's. Hard Drives really became exceptional in the very latter 90's, when they finally started reaching decent capacities and breaking technological barriers.


Judging by your mugshot, you're a bit young to remember when the rate of change of hard drives was really amazing. The curve has flattened off now, barring a major technical advance they struggle to increase the recording density by a really significant amount.

I got my first software job in 1982. We coded on a DEC PDP-11, with three hard drives attached, which meant a stack about four feet tall and 18 inches square. The TEN MEGABYTE media itself was removable, say about four inches deep and 12 inches in diameter (for any other old DEC people out there, I'm trying to describe an RL02). Yes, that was 12 programmers writing applications with a combined 30 Megs of hard drive space between them. smile

Four years later, in another job, where I had to set up the development system from scratch, then a 300 Megabyte drive had suddenly become a box about nine inches square and four inches high.

Now THAT is what you call a decent rate of progress!
