How embarrassed should I be to admit that I still own and use a number of those gadgets? I just packed my Atari system up in preparation for moving!

I have later permutions of just 4 items and actually have one. My parents had an 8 track player in the 80s. I'm not a gadget person.

Check item 11. The list is for the first appearance within a genre, and PS came out first, representing a huge upgrade from previous video game consoles.

Funny about number 1 being Sony Walkman. Sony just lost a 20 year old lawsuit to a Brazilian guy who actually invented it first and offered it to Sony.
