Time’s best inventions of 2006

Although this list isn’t in a web friendly top ten format, it’s certainly interesting to see what the folks at Time ranked as the best inventions of 2006.

Some are interesting, but enough are so consumer focused that I can’t help but feel every major magazine these days is more lifestyle catalog than anything else.

Pictured at right is an RFID kit so you’ll never lose household items again. Sure is interesting, but can this compare to the invention of the microwave, the PC, the automobile, or the laser? I think not.

Since these best inventions are new and quite expensive, only those who have been really good this year will see any of these for holidays (I’m not holding my breath 🙂
