Many of 2016's embarrassments came courtesy of tech's biggest companies, proving that nobody is too big to screw up.

Then there was the rare merger of tech and politics, as this year's race for the White House thrived on social media -- often for the worse. Twitter, Facebook and other social networks helped fuel one of the most vitriolic and improbable elections in history, with everything from 3 a.m. tweets about former beauty queens and sex tapes to Anthony Weiner's sexting scandal.
