Time magazine recently published a list of 100 most influential and best gadgets of 1923 to the present day. The devices shown were divided into the categories entertainment, communication, cameras and even a "gadgets ahead of its time," for devices that exceed the standards being launched. The magazine's readers have placed in the top 5 iPod, Kindle, Game Boy, iPhone and iPad - Apple dominating the rankings with three devices.
In less than 100 years these 100 gadgets changed our society and the way that they interact. Jaron Lanier says in his book “You are not a gadget”: “I am always reminded of how small changes in the details of a digital design can have profound unforeseen effects on the experiences of the humans who are playing with it. The slightest change in something as seemingly trivial as the ease of use of a button can sometimes completely alter behavior patterns.
The complete list of gadgets can be conferred on the magazine, have a look and chose the one that changed your life more.
