The top 100 gadgets of all time
Mobile PC Magazine has come up with a list of the top 100 gadgets of all time. The gadgets needed moving parts and/or electronics to be included. The list also includes ancient 'gadgets' like the abacus, the sextant, the marine chronometer, the maelzel metronome etc. Also included are the Swiss Army Knife, the Rubik's cube, Zippo lighter and the Ipod.
The top 10 gadgets are all from the last 50 years. At top spot is the Apple Powerbook 100 because it defined how future laptops would look, according to the judges. In second spot is the Zenith Space Command remote control, followed by Sony's Walkman. Tivo series 1 rounds off the top 10.
I think I may have opted for either the remote control or the Walkman at the No:1 spot rather than the Powerbook 100. Your thoughts?
