Ten years ago, if you had a PDA, it was a gadget, now everybody and his grandmother has a smartphone.
So, what is a gadget these days?

I agree. I think it's not necessarily that the gadget is going to disappear, it's that more gadgets have gone mainstream. People today don't think of their TVs as "gadgets", but I can assure you that my grandfather did.
Witness Issybird, a self proclaimed "Luddite" who owns two mobile phones, multiple tablets, ereaders, fitbit, and probably more that she doesn't think of as "gadgets" anymore because they're ubiquitous.
Gadgets aren't going anywhere...the definition is just changing.
