The Top 100 Gadgets That Have Changed Our Lives

Very recently, there was a list compiled from a survey of thirty nine hundred (3,900) gadget lovers. But, I'm going to point out some things that I didn't think about and some that bother me.

The list starts all the way back in 1913 with the zip.



Zippers, a terrifying idea, interlocking metal teeth next to your junk. Nonetheless, it works and I always question people who wear pants with buttons.

Moving on, we go throughout the years:

Radio tuners.



The self-winding watch.



The modern day can opener.



Aerosol cans.



The colour television.



Radar.



Helicopters.



1941, the artificial heart.



I love that the Slinky is on this list...



...right before the Kidney dialysis machine.



Next, we have the Casio digital watch.



LEDs.



And then, Pacemaker.



The good old Sony Walkman...



...and then the CD version of it.



The world wide web.



And then, video games jump into the mix with the Game Boy and the SNES.

The iPod of course is there.



MicroSD, I almost forgot, that's a massive deal.



iPhones in 2007.



And then, in 2008, I've got a question, Beats by Dre?!?



Obviously, it's (most definitely) because, in 2008, Dr. Dre realized that a sub par product could sell really well with a really proper marketing campaign. And I type that as someone who has used Beats by Dre (the original one), and also used cheaper headphones that are far superior.

Moving on to 2009, we have Twitter (that makes sense).



That shit revolutionized news, and how information or misinformation could spread the world wide.

And then, we jump to 2013, were the PlayStation 4 has been crowned!



My problem with this, is that it's not out yet!! It doesn't make any sense!!! We're consumers right now, it's an "idea"! This makes about as much sense as getting an A before you take a test!! Or, I think, even more proper, Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 (Incase it's unclear, Obama was awarded that shit based on what he said he would do, rather than it actually happening. Yes, you read that right, he won that shit based on words and happy thoughts. You might want to Google it if you feel like I'm bullshitting).

Ultimately, the inclusion of the PS4 just makes me question the people who took this survey. Maybe they're time travellers.

Here's the full list of one hundred.



Now, lemme pass the question onto you: In the past 100 years, what do you believe is the most important gadget ever created?
