From Between The Lines, ZDNet blog, Larry Dignan brings this top 10 list which I found interesting (regardless you agree on all or not):  The 10 biggest moments in IT history.

1. The development of COBOL (1959)
2. The development of the ARPANET (1969)
3. The creation of UNIX (1970)
4. The first “clamshell” laptop (1979)
5. The beginning of Linus Torvalds’ work on Linux (1991)
6. The advent of Windows 95 (1995)
7. The 90s dot-com bubble (1990s)
8. Steve Jobs rejoining Apple (1996)
9. The creation of Napster (1999)
10. The start of Wikipedia (2000)

As the author says, some of the milestones on this list are debatable (depending upon where you are looking from), but some of them most likely are not. I say the list is very well thought.

¿What would you add or delete fro this list?
