101 Gadgets/Inventions that changed the world

This was/is on the H2 Channel today.

Followed by 101 inventions that changed the world.

I can google the gadgets list and it's even out on DVD.  Interesting. But radio over TV?

But for some reason, this 101 inventions list is nowhere to be found.  (Here's an alphabetical list.) Maybe because it's the premiere.  It'll probably show up in a day or three.

Anyway, here's the top five as it happens (and the number in the alphabetical list) [I rewound and got 10-6 too]

10. internal combustion engine (40)
9. bronze (not listed)
8. fire (31)
7. computer (not listed, well I guess it's partially 60, the PC)
6. lever (amazingly not listed)
5. transistor (91)
4. steam engine (not listed, see internal combustion engine)
3. light bulb (47)
2. printing press (67)
1. wheel (100)
