The Top 100 Gadgets Of All Time
I’m not quite sure how the scoring works at The Top 100 Gadgets of All Time but the Mattel Magic 8-Ball (”Is this really one of the most important gadgets ever? Signs point to yes!”) came in better than the abacus (”Nearly 1,800 years before the first electronic calculators, the Abacus let its user multiply, divide, add, subtract, and calculate square and cube roots … in both decimal and hexadecimal.”) Anyway, a fun little browse.
