Bluetooth technology was
unveiled in 1999, but it wasn't until the start of the 21st century that
manufacturers began to adopt it in mobile phones and computers. Now,
with more connected gadgets than ever, Bluetooth has become an important
part of our daily lives, and is set to be more so as the internet of
things takes off.
iPod (2001)
Portable MP3 players had been
around for many years before Apple launched its version in 2001, but
the iPod – together with Apple's iTunes software – was the technology
that really transformed the way people listened to music. The device's
large internal storage capacity meant it was no longer necessary to
carry around CDs or cassette tapes, and the sleek design made it a
desirable item to own.
AbioCor Artificial Heart (2001)
The AbioCor artificial heart
was first used to replace a human heart in an operation in 2001. It
powers itself, unlike previous attempts at artificial hearts, meaning
that it doesn't need intrusive wires that heighten the risk of
infection. However, very few operations to date have used the hearts.
Mozilla Firefox (2002)
Firefox was the first web
browser to challenge the dominance of Microsoft's Internet Explorer,
after Netscape Navigator was killed off in the 'First browser war'. It
was free and open-source - however, it has since been left in the dust
by Google's Chrome browser.
Skype (2003)
Skype has transformed the way
people communicate across borders. It used to cost an arm and a leg to
call family or friends abroad, but Skype made it possible to speak to
them – and even video chat – for free over WiFi. Initially Skype was
only available as a desktop client, but over time it launched on mobile,
and many people now use it to talk to friends and colleagues at home as
well.
Facebook (2004)
Facebook was not the first
social network – it built on the success of earlier sites like MySpace
and Bebo. However, it quickly overtook its predecessors thanks to its
simplicity, ease of use and exclusivity (users initially had to have a
registered university email address to become a member). Today the
website connects over 1.6 billion people worldwide, with users from a
vast array of backgrounds, nationalities and ages.
YouTube (2005)
Created by three former
PayPal employees in 2005, YouTube has grown to become the world's most
popular video-sharing website. Key to its success is the ability for
anyone from anywhere in the world to broadcast themselves for free. As a
result, YouTube is a melting pot of news events, political messages,
music clips, hilarious blunders, adverts and cat videos.
Nintendo Wii (2006)
Amid fierce rivalry in the
games console industry between Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox
during the early 2000s, Nintendo went off-piste and created a console
that allowed gamers to get physically involved in the virtual games they
were playing. The Wii controller detects movement in three dimensions,
and can be used as a fitness device. It went on to inspire a number of
other motion controllers including Microsoft's Kinect.
Apple iPhone (2007)
Apple's iPhone was the first
touchscreen smartphone to gain mass-market adoption. Part of the reason
for its appeal was the fact that it could be controlled using a finger
rather than requiring a stylus. The iPhone went on to spawn an entire
industry, with electronics manufacturers all over the world developing
their own versions of the device. Apple has now sold over 900 million
iPhones globally.
BBC iPlayer (2007)
The BBC's internet TV
service, iPlayer, arrived at a time when streaming full-length films and
TV programmes was still a fairly niche hobby, but it kickstarted the
trend – in the UK at least – allowing users to catch up on TV shows at
their convenience. ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 all now offer their own
on-demand services, and video streaming apps like Netflix and Amazon
Prime Instant Video have leapt in popularity over the past few years.
Amazon Kindle (2007)
The Kindle was not the first
e-reader on the market, nor the most elegant when it launched in 2007,
but Amazon ended up stomping all over its main rival Sony by offering
the device cheaply, and providing seamless integration with its online
e-book store. Amazon now controls around 80 per cent of the e-book
market in the UK, and Sony ended up pulling out of the e-reader market
altogether earlier this year.
Google Android (2008)
Following the ecstatic
response to Apple's iPhone in 2007, other mobile phone manufacturers
were desperate to get in on the action, but they needed an operating
system that could compete with iOS. Android was originally created as an
open source OS for cameras, but was bought by Google in 2005 and
launched as a mobile OS in 2008. It is now the primary operating system
for Samsung, Sony, LG and HTC phones, among others, and boasts over 80
per cent marketshare worldwide. It has also spawned a new wave of
cheaper smartphone companies, such as Xiaomi and Micromax, in China and
India.
