Most Important Technological Invention of the past 25 years...

I gotta vote for the iPod.  It has changed my life in ways I could only imagine just a couple of years ago. 

Yes, I now carry my entire musical collection (almost) with me wherever I go.  I plug my iPod into my car stereo.  I plug my iPod into my home stereo system, I plug my iPod into speakers at work.  Every once in a while, I break out the earbuds and listen that way!!  I wake up somtimes to an alarm from my iPod (and a playlist of Thelonius Monk).  I even plug my iPod into my bass amplifier when I want to practice with recorded music.  My currnet iPod (my 2nd) is 80 Gig, and currently has just under 12,000 songs on it.
