Just bizarre that the telephone has been placed so low... And what about the ordinary Personal Computer?? Edited by Joren |

CD player. #14. That's my tops. I know some of you love vinyl, but I hated all the pops and skips. Digital made life fun.

Correct me if I am wrong, but is a gadget not something useless that we do not really need but acquire for the hell of it? This would have therefore a negative ring to it. Well I saw a few of those in that list but most of them are actually very usefull and the Swiss army knife actually saved lives - mine among others as I had forgotten the corkscrew on a picnic (pique-nique) and friends were about to kill me. That was a close brush with death!!! It is my top one. Edited by Sean Trane |

I got a leatherman for Christmas many years ago. I have kept up with it and it still gets frequent use around the house. Hail Hail. How the mattel magic 8 ball was ranked higher is beyond me. My step son's hasn't worked since it was dropped. What good is a kid's toy that cannot take a good blow? |

81. ZIPPO WINDPROOF LIGHTER, 1932
I thought I was the only lunatic that collected this items, I have 95 but most bought about 5 years ago because the stores are crazy about today's prices. Iván |

I think I still have my HP-35 lying round under a pile of papers somewhere. The pocket calculator, what a great invention.
Speaking of which, if I could invent a device that would allow me to slap people over the internet, I'd be a rich man. |

3. SONY WALKMAN, 1979 This with a pair of headphones to block out the world, was nothing but an ingenious solution to much of my problems back then. Edited by L.V.X. |

That would turn pervey the moment it got out. My girlfriend would have an arse redder than a baboons, by the time I'd finished work. |

My favorite gadget of all time is the string winder for guitars. It cuts the time I spend on re-stringing my guitar in half. Very useful and very clever. |
