As for the demise of the gadget, the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot, the Ring doorbell and the Nest thermostat tell me gadgets aren't going anywhere (unless I have a misunderstanding of what is defined as a 'gadget').
No, you don't misunderstand.

Just add in Amazon Dash barcode scanner and button, Roku and FireTV video streamers, generic Android STBs, stick PCs, connected external drives, internet connected dolls, connected door locks, connected thermostats, connected home security and garage door openers, connected fridges, washers, and who knows what. The whole Internet of things is a tidal wave. We're surrounded by connected gadgets, all entirely new products, most from companies hardly anybody heard of just a few years back.

The author of the article clearly doesn't get out much.
Kinda typical for his employer.
