  4. A future starring ubiquitous touchscreens By Hannah Waters | February 11, 2012, Specialty glassmaker Corning released a Youtube video showcasing the company’s vision of our future filled with glass technology . . . . As the video portrays, the technology could one day allow all surfaces to act as touchscreens, creating the possibility of checking email in the mirror while brushing your teeth or transferring images from fridge to phone to wall display with the swipe of a finger. More than anything, it’s a vision of a world where technology is embedded everywhere in our lives: at home, work, school, and even the shopping mall.

However, one notably absent face from the top ten list is the ubiquitous fashion maven Kate Moss who has lost out to American actresses and other Brit models. I'm equally pleased and disappointed by choices that made the top ten, I have to say. What do you reckon? And are you surprised by the lack of our usual go-to Brit fashion icon the list? __________
