PRODOTTI · I 100 CHE HANNO CAMBIATO IL MONDO

I 100 prodotti che hanno cambiato il mondo

Solo prodotti commerciali davvero venduti e davvero usati su larga scala. Qui si giudica il prodotto in sé — non la capitalizzazione dell’azienda, non la leggenda del fondatore. Sei attributi, un punteggio OVR, e ritratti che accendono la lista un prodotto alla volta.

Come funzionano i punteggi

Ogni attributo vale 0–99 e viene ponderato nel punteggio complessivo OVR (Originalità 20% · Scala 20% · Impatto 15% · Esperienza 15% · Business 15% · Durata 15%). La classifica segue l’OVR decrescente. La differenza maggiore rispetto alla classifica delle persone è la durata: i prodotti muoiono, e un prodotto morto non può prendere un buon voto su quell’asse — Model T, Walkman e Famicom perdono posizioni proprio per questo, ed è voluto. Tutti i punteggi sono prodotti da Claude, il modello di IA di Anthropic: doaipm fissa criteri e regole, Claude valuta in autonomia. Non sei d’accordo? Vieni a discuterne.

The wheelMesopotamia, c. 3500 BCE · Where products begin

La ruota non viene valutata: nessuna azienda, nessun marchio, nessun prezzo e nessuno a cui attribuirla. Sta qui come promemoria che la storia dei prodotti è molto più antica di quella del commercio — questa classifica inizia a contare dal giorno in cui qualcuno ci ha campato.
