Entertainment Weekly, one of my very favorite magazines (yes, the actual magazine, with pages and everything), published its 1,000th issue this week. The issue is devoted to the "new classics"--listing the top 50 in television, movies, music, books and theater. (All the lists, and more, are here.)

There's also a list of the new classics in technology--"25 innovations that changed entertainment." But it's interesting how so many of the technologies chosen are also changing the way we work.

The Top 10: the DVD player, Napster, TiVo, iPod, YouTube, realistic CG characters, digital video cameras for consumers, flat-panel TVs, satellite-radio stations and stadium seating in multiplexes.

From that segment of the list, the iPod certainly helped mainstream podcasting, and the one-two punch of YouTube and widely accessible digital video cameras provided the platform for a new level of corporate video. The popularity of Napster gave IT managers a new headache to deal with and security vendors a new risk to mitigate, but the file-sharing service and others like it helped change the way enterprise applications are accessed and updated.

No. 11 on the list is MySpace. EW names the service for the way it's helped artists get noticed and how it has provided a new platform for music, but MySpace and Facebook have also spurred the social networking trend in the enterprise--and paved the way for more corporate-minded alternatives such as LinkedIn.

No. 13 on the list is Netscape Navigator. Ah, where to begin! EW says, "Surfing the Web was a mere pipe dream before the advent of this pioneering Internet browser." I guess the same could be said when you apply Navigator to the business world, with the browser now acting as operating system for applications offered up in the SAAS model.

Amazon.com is No. 19 on the list. In the '90s, there wasn't a story about e-commerce that didn't include Amazon.com as the example of success. Amazon is still the e-commerce poster child, but it has branched out in areas including e-book readers (with the Kindle, No. 23 on the EW list) and computing in the cloud (with the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud).

If I were to come up with a list of new classics that focused on technologies that have changed the way we work, my top 10 would include IM, blogging, e-mail, Web conferencing, Wi-Fi, laptops, the BlackBerry, Google and Wikipedia.

What would you add to the list?
