These are not technologies (except microprocessors of course). However there is a lot of Russian contributions even there. E.g. Pentkovsky (Intel Pentium), Levchin (PayPal), Stepanov (C++ STL), Roshal (RAR archiver), Kaspersky, Danilov (Dr.Web), Belousov (Parallels) etc. But once again, those are digital products/services but not technologies.
