KBZ: Moviemaking is one area where getting there first is significant. For instance, in the last list, "The Jazz Singer" was listed. It wasn't a great movie, but it did usher in the use of sound.

I'm all for originality & creativity points, that stuff matters. it's just that the notion of the 'good old days' is often wrong, so I'm a bit skeptical when I see I list dominated by things made 50+ years ago.
