Top 10 Gadgets of the decade

Screw the 90's and their alleged technological revolution, I say the 00's defeats all other decades technologically!

10. DVD + DVD Player- Since the arrival of the DVD at the turn of the century, playing your favourite movies now means placing a disc onto a slick shiny tray which would retract into an even slicker/ shinier player and watching the movie in unrivaled quality.

9. Digital Cameras- Although the digital camera was invented in the 1990s, its safe to to say that the digital camera really took off in the 00's. Gone are the days of waiting a few days for Kodak to develop your photos, now its simply a button away from viewing the photo you just took, and a click away from sending it to a friend.

8. Sat Navs- The Sat-Nav directly influenced the extinction of folded paper maps, no more will there be lost drivers. Technology that used to be restricted to the military et al is now available to the consumer. Garmin and Tom Tom are just a few of the big names that have forced their way onto your dashboards.

7. Apple iphone- The gadget that single handedly begin the touch screen era, since its release in 2007, other phones and mp3 players have included the touch screen feature to their product.

6. Blackberry- One of the first phones to have the feature of email, and a mini keyboard. This little bad boy is a must for any businessman on the go.

5. Sony Playstation 2- The best selling game console of the decade (138 million as of August 2009), the sequel to the Playstation has managed to out sell and out last competitors such as the XBOX and the GameCube.

4. Nintendo Wii- Continuing the trend of game consoles, Nintendo's release of the movement sensory based game console is currently leading sales in the current generation of game consoles at 56 million units.

3.Netbook- The super light and super small laptop at rock bottom prices seemed too good to be true. But its not, the netbook exceeds at performing simple PC tasks on the go.

2. USB Drive- The quickest and easier way to transfer and back up data between computers, the USB stick is constantly growing in size and has virtually wiped out the floppy disk.

1. Apple ipod- The gadget that popularized mp3 players and the mp3 format. Gone are the albums, and gone are the walkmans, the ipod enabled easy storage and listening of your music on the go.

BUT not to rain on your parade or anything, the DVD player and DVD Disc was developed around 1996 and released in different regions between then and 1998 but was popularised after 2000.
