4 Incredible Technological Inventions In The Last Decade That Changed The World

The years 2010-2020 were an extraordinary decade for the technology industry. Just 10 years ago Facebook was the most popular social media platform and Instagram didn't even exist, the giant Uber had just taken off and mobile phones were much smaller and bulkier.

But in the last ten years incredible technical inventions have completely changed our lives. Here are the 4 coolest things we learned in 2010.

iPad
The iPad is arguably one of the most handy inventions of 2010, making it easier to watch movies, reply to emails and surf the web on the go.

The device is a hybrid laptop and mobile phone, but not as massive as the former and as small as the latter.

When it was first released in 2010, the iPad cost at least $499, but prices could go as high as $829. Since then, Apple has only improved the technology, releasing new iterations every year that cost more and more.

Snapchat
Snapchat may have been on the decline in recent years, but when the photo-sharing app first launched in 2011, it was Instagram's closest competitor.

The app was originally called Pictaboo, but as it grew in popularity among teenagers, the name and logo were changed to make it more appealing.Today, the app is worth $22 billion and is famous for its whimsical filters and disappearing photos.

Instagram
Before Snapchat was invented, there was only one photo sharing app that we all know today as Instagram.
,
Launched in 2010, the app received 25,000 new registrations on day one and was named the fastest growing iOS app in a year. In 2012, she was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion. Currently, the app has over a billion users and is valued at $102 billion.

Lyft
Like Snapchat, Lyft has become a competitor to its industry's biggest player, Uber.The company started out as a ridesharing app for long commutes and campus students who wanted to share rides, but quickly grew into a $13 billion company that's now expanding into e-bikes and driverless cars. The company is only 7 years old and was already listed in 2018.

4 Incredible Tech Inventions in the Last Decade That Changed the World as We Know It

2010-2020 has been a pretty incredible decade for the tech industry. Just 10 years ago, Facebook was the most popular social media platform and Instagram hadn’t even come into existence, ride-hailing giant Uber was just taking off and the cell phones were a lot smaller and chunkier.

But the past decade has seen some incredible tech inventions that have changed our lifes completely. Here are 4 of the coolest things we’ve been introduced to in the 2010’s.

The iPad
The iPad has to be one of the most convenient inventions of the 2010’s that have made it easier to watch videos, answer emails and browse the internet on the go.

The device is a hybrid of a laptop and a cellphone, although not quite as chunky as the former and not as small as the latter.

When it first came out in 2010, the iPad cost a minimum of $499 but the prices could go as high as $829. Since then, Apple has only improved on the technology, releasing new iterations every year that progressively cost more.

Snapchat
Snapchat may be on a downward trend over the past few years, but when the photo-sharing app first came out in 2011, it was Instagram’s toughest competitor.

The app was originally called Pictaboo, but as it slowly gained traction among the teens, its name and logo were changed to add to its appeal. Today, the app is worth $22 billion and is popular for its quirky filters and disappearing photos.

Instagram
Prior to Snapchat’s invention there was only one photo-sharing app on the rise which we all know today as Instagram.

Lyft
Just like Snapchat, Lyft also rose as a competitor for the biggest player in its industry, Uber.

The company started as a carpooling app for lengthy trips and campus students who wanted to share rides but it quickly grew into a $13 billion ride-hailing business that is now expanding to electric bikes and self-driving cars. The company is only 7-years-old and it already went public in 2018.
