What would we do without cell phones and texting? Or wireless Internet access? Or supermarket convenience foods?

OK, maybe bagged lettuce isn’t exactly revolutionary, but in the past decade all kinds of new stuff changed our lives in big and small ways. Which had the most impact?

ShopSmart, the shopping magazine from the publisher of Consumer Reports, recently did a national telephone survey of 1,005 women to find out what items changed their lives for the better in the past decade, and which items they could do without in the decade to come.

Cell and smart phones, not surprisingly, were No. 1. Google and wireless Internet followed closely, rounding out the top three. The survey also found that women hope items such as super-low-waisted pants and reality television disappear before 2020.

“In the last 10 years, cell service went digital, ushering in affordable plans with hundreds of minutes a month, along with texting and Web access,” said Lisa Lee Freeman, editor in chief of ShopSmart. “Google, No. 2 on the list, was around before 2000 but wasn’t the household name it is today. Items like GPS devices and flat-screen TVs were almost unheard of. Innovations that didn’t make our top 10 but got lots of votes include Facebook, video-game systems like the Wii, and eBay.”
