Top 100 Gadgets of all time

Moonliner · 10-25-2010, 09:39 AM

Time magazine is out with a list of the 100 Top Gadgets of all time.

I do or have owned a respectable 32% of their list. My worst category being a disappointing 0 for 12 in cameras.

Only 19% for me. I guess I'm not geeky enough.

22% by fast count. Though it swings from wildly generic to very, very specific.

Specific digital SLR model but every smoke detector, electric razor, credit card (a gadget, really?), and power strip ever made.

I'm not a big gadget person apparently. My favorite listing was in the Communications section....the Speak and Spell..

They missed what has to be the #1 gadget of all time: the Hitachi Magic Wand

There has been a lot of good buzz about that one.

I've had 10%, but used only 9% - and I call shenanigans on Velco or batteries being deemed "gadgets," so my net is only 7%.

I feel pretty good about that.

Hahahah!! I agree with you, K.

I'm only at about 20%. I could score higher if I count my hubby's gadgets, but that didn't seem fair.
