A year is more like a decade in the world of technology. Think back to last December; our tech-augmented lives were quite different just 12 months ago.
There was no real platform to quickly and easily share social video with family and friends in the way it had taken off with photos, thanks to Instagram. We still hadn't really seen Google Glass in the wild. And the selfie had not yet reached its pandemic proportions of 2013.

Selfies, meanwhile are everywhere. 2013 gave rise to a selfies-only social network, called Shots of Me, and was named Oxford Dictionaries' official Word of the Year.
Here we honor the tech world's year in change by highlighting nine of our favorite innovations from 2013. From Coin, the super credit card, to the iPhone's new Touch ID security system to, yes, Glass, check them all out above then make your own additions in the comments below.
