We won't be so bold as to say these videos defined 2011. They just don't. The 1,300-foot iPad plunge from a plane is awesome—but not year-defining. The interactive computer screen on a cold cloud? Sweet. But not the stuff that fills history books.

Take a jaunt down memory lane—and remember just one more time yet another quirky, fun-filled, poignant year.
