While your further argumentation is of course correct you forget
one thing: The site is named "PC World"...  ;-)

OTOH my personal #1 would've been the on-going progress in
the component field including integration & miniaturisation.

Beginning with relais -> Complete paradign change ->  Tubes
-> Bang! Completely different materials -> Semiconductors
-> Bang! -> Integrated circuits...

Now it's parallelisation - who knows what's next?

Reportedly no other technical discipline has had the same progress
as this relatively young field.
