How can anyone know what gadgets will change "this decade" when it still has another year to go?

Personally, I blame Prince. He originally wrote the line 'Party like it's 2000', but then realised way more things rhymed with 'nine' so changed it |

True - it does depend what decade you're talking about; the "naugties" or "the 1st decade of the 21st century" .
FWIW, I'm obviously seriously "uncool", only having owned 4 of the gadgets (iPod, Garmin GPS, USB stick, and Kindle). Last edited by HarryT; 12-10-2009 at 09:18 AM. |

9/15 for me if I 'de-Americanise' the list (i.e. there was no point me buying a Kindle in the UK, so I've counted my Sony Reader; TIVO doesn't exist in the UK, but Sky Plus or Sky HD do the same thing so I've counted that).

That's cheating. My count would be doubled if I'd not only counted the specific models listed . Eg, I have a digital SLR, but I didn't buy a Nikon D1. I have a flatscreen TV, but not a Samsung one.

Going strictly off the list, I own 2 items. A Sony Play Station 2 and a USB drive.

Well, according to my kids, I am "the uncoolest man in the world", so I guess gadget ownership isn't the only criterion available.
Also, it is possible (just possible) that owning gadgets isn't cool at all! Which would make you the coolest person to respond to this thread so far |
