Just 17
175. The death of Princess Diana.
174. The emergence of Dubya.
173. China's emergence as a global power.
172. A very crap period of music, c.1998-2000, which was mercifully lanced by the debut of Coldplay.
171. The all-conquering DVD, which was once just a passing fancy occupying half a shelf in HMV, and has now sent VHS shuffling into the bargain bin.
170. Air conditioning becoming standard in most new cars.
169. Almost every TV show in the UK now being sponsored (back in 1996 there were only a few indy-style shows that did this).
168. When the music died, so did TFI Friday.
167. Channel 5, which still hasn't sorted out it's terrestrial reception, 8 years on.
166. The three Star Wars prequels, which have done a lot to damage the reputation of the legacy and the patience and patronage of it's many fans.
