In your opinion. What is the greatest invention of the last 20 Years ?
Is it the DVR ?
We all know how Eras and Decades have all had inventions that define them.
What has this 20 Years given us that will define it.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

Beat me to it because I wrote a rambling diatribe about PDAs and how we should be thankful that's it's made our lives easier.  Damn your brevity, Townsend!!

Digital Photography. With a digital camera and learning Photoshop, Lite or Regular or other photo software, you don't ned a photolab or your own darkroom, just someplace to send the images to to get larger than 8"x10" prints.

Large format printers are available to the general public but they can get a bit pricey if you only want to print a few large photos.  Without looking it up, I think 11 x 17 printers were not astronomical in price unless you wanted a laser printer.
