Time Magazine looked over Gardasil, a vaccine that fights off a sexually transmitted disease and the Hug Shirt, which simulates the feeling of being embraced by a loved one, and chose Internet site, YouTube as the invention of the year.
“YouTube had tapped into something that appears on no business plan,” writes Time’s Lev Grossman, “the lonely, pressurized, pent-up video subconscious of America. Having started with a single video of a trip to the zoo in April of last year, YouTube now airs 100 million videos and its users add 70,000 more every day.”
