Time Magazine has published the 25 best inventions of 2014. My favourite is by far the Kickstarter funded Hendo hoverboard.
… the technology that powers it could be revolutionary. Using the $450,000-plus it raised on Kickstarter, Hendo founders Jill and Greg Henderson plan to develop magnetic “hovering” tech to stabilize buildings during earthquakes, protect valuable works of art and more.Time Magazine
The other innovations which made the list includes, The Supersmart Spacecraft by the Indian Space Research Organisation, Wireless electricity by Witricity Corp developed for use in cars, PCs, etc, the Blackphone to protect your mobile privacy and Lumo Lift, a magnetic lapel activity tracker which stops you from slouching.
