Are we heading towards a tech armageddon?
Renegade:
Speaking of innovation...

A whole bunch of mind-numbingly obvious things. Sensors on glasses? No? Who'd have thought of that? Trying to determine edges of social networks? Wow... like so smart... Controlled access to medical records? Ooooo... Now we're getting fancy...
All complete total BS patents. Not that there is any other kind anymore... :P
Paul Keith:
Well...it is a top 10 list so what'd you expect? :P
I'm more curious on whether the science fiction genre has some revolutionary new idea.

Top 10 or patent -- either way you are guaranteed to lose a few IQ points after reading. ;D :P
As for science fiction... Perhaps try science fantasy --- I saw Michio Kaku illustrate how to build a lightsaber.
Not sure if it would work, but it was still pretty cool. :D
Paul Keith:
Yeah, ironic as it is, the lightsaber has outlasted many of the innovations introduced in considered more intelligent than space opera type sci-fi.
I was going to bring it up but a lot of the recent videogame adaptation for the Star Wars universe has demystified the specialty of the lightsaber, example:
It could be fitted with cortosis weave, allowing it to parry the blows of lightsabers and energy swords.

You'd be hard pressed to convince me that this looks anything innovative:

...this? This is the thing that could parry the almighty light saber?! Not to mention how the Old Republic type Jedis going Naruto on the double bladed light sabers. A weapon that used to hold more prestige during the early EU books thanks to it's difficulty where even the cream of the crop jedis couild not have ease properly wielding an extended light saber without being the best of the best. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dual-phase_lightsaber
