The E-Voting Machines….I’II get my jacket

The kettle still leaves them all in the dust. Nothing like a cuppa Tay.

Sky Plus Box ?

High speed broadband surely… This enabled the gadgets to become practical… I.e uploading downloading data at a speed that wouldn’t drive ya mad with impatience

USB drive by a mile. I remember buying a 1GB one for college on 2003 for €100. Sigh.

Imagine still copying stuff to DVDs?? Or not downloading tv shows and plugging it straight into the TV?

Personally I couldn’t survive without the iPhone or any type of smartphone!

I love gadgets, not a day goes by without me picking up my smartphone and being totally amazed by it. I often take a picture of my dinner and send it to my sister 4000 miles away and within seconds I have her opinion on it! Looks ok or YUK.

With the rate of innovation steaming ahead the next 5 to 10 years will be nice and interesting.

Hooky here on the right Hook ? Seriously, pause live TV, record, rewind what you miss, great invention. Now for further Sky products go to………

Smartphone, it’s all the other gadgets rolled into one.

I own quite a few of those gadgets. Posting on my iPhone actually. For me though my favourite is the iPod. Yes there were hd based mp3 players but none did it so well, I owned a RioRiot and was fecking huge compared to the iPod. iTunes was a game changer for it. Never before had it been so easy to make new playlists and find new music. With the iPod Classic I can have access to massive amounts to music. A playlist for every mood.

It is truly amazing how fast technology has improved even in the space of 7 years. I type this on a IBM T42 and whenever this laptop comes into discussion you’d swear I bought it in the eighties. The rate of change is incredible when compared to say, cars.

Also, I think the humble printer should get a mention here. At the start of the century it was big and slow. Now, they come cheap with scanner/copiers attached.

I think cloud computing should’ve been in there. It does away with the need for a USB (providing you have an Internet connection) and I think personally a hell of a lot safer (i.e. losing your dissertation that was on a USB. Yes, I know you should back it up but there is always one in every year).

ah oops just noticed its 21st century gadgets…um…ok so..the 8kg washer drier!

I still cant believe its not butter.

GPS, since “selective availability” was switched off in 2000.

What gadgets are the most important so far?. Let me think. Hi honey,I’m home. Where are the kids?. Eh, one’s on the laptop, the other one’s on the I pad. When I left, we had three?. Oh, yeah, I think the other one’s on the X box. Which one?. The smaller one. Do you remember it’s name?. Eh, well yeah, sort of. So, what’s its name?. Eh well, I can’t quite remember but the last time I saw him, he was looking for the play station. Thank you, that’s a great help. You’re welcome. Where’s my goddamn I phone?. Sorry honey, what did you say?. I said, oh never mind, I’ve got mail on my I pod, of all places. You ok honey?. Yeah, for now. My god, I’ve got mail on my II pod. I haven’t used this in ages. It must be at least two or three months since I used that ancient piece of outdated rubbish. Jesus!. It says here that the neighbours are coming over to visit. It’s the national get to know your neighbour day. Gerry. Gerry quick tell me it’s not true, it can’t be happening. Yes it is darling, but no need to panic, they are already here. Agh! Where, where, where are they . No need to worry darling, they’re right down there at the end of the room. Who?, you mean those people talking into their phones? Yes darling, isn’t it great to get to know our neighbours at last.? Well, yes, I suppose, but who are all these children?. Oh, they’re nothing to worry about dear, they’re their children. Thank god for that, for a moment there, I thought that we were going to have to be responsible for them.

The LEAP card :P
Oh btw when were Laser cards, credit cards invented?

The iPod was not the first (nor best) MP3 player, the RIO Diamond from 1998 or Creative Zen would have been a better choice.

sorry , but the macbook air didnt usher in a new era of small portable computers without optical drives , the laptop that kicked off all of that was the original asus eeepc 701 , released 2007.

your all wrong. the greatest invention was Undercover Brother’s hot sauce squirter built into his watch.
um um um I just love hot sauce! I can’t remember the year, I hope it qualifies.

Cling film or tin foil

It could be argued that the netbook ushered in the tablets we have today. It focused on the 10″ and smaller form factor while maintaining maximum functionality and increased production (and thus reduced cost of the components that would ultimately become tablets. I.e. 10″ screens, high density battery’s, solid state memory and touchscreens. The iPad, Moto Xoom and Asus Transformer are all just netbooks without the keyboard.

eh helloooo…the humble washer drier!!!

Digital cameras .

Not really a big gamer any more but the I’d say we’re not far off having projected 3D or 4D game in the middle of your room

Geniunely cannot believe this isn’t on the list!

Xbox Kinnect is a devolution in technology simply awful… Nintendo whoops it’s fat ass

21st Century, ie AFTER 1999.
