    What is your choice for "GADGET of the DECADE"? (gadget must be released between 2000 and 2009)

    This would include electronic devices (ex: ipod, netbooks), web sites (ex: google, wiki), software (ex: windows-xp), games consoles (ex: wii), service (ex:3G, internet broadband, free wifi), etc

    If you have to choose just ONE, which would it be and why?

    Broadband Internet. Almost everything else revolves around it. Fast internet extended the lives of older computers and literally changed lifestyles.

    Of course, speed varies from location to location. Where I am......whoosh!

    From Wikipedia:
    A gadget is a small[1] technological object (such as a device or an appliance) that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are invariably considered to be more unusually or cleverly designed than normal technological objects at the time of their invention. Gadgets are sometimes also referred to as gizmos.
    In this regard, for me it's a toss between Ipod, thumb drive, and GPS navigation.

    I'd say it's broadband internet for the enabler, and wiki for bringing power to the people....

    services: broadband internet and wi-fi service
    websites: google, friendster, facebook, multiply (i bet mas angat ang facebook)
    electronic devices: ipod, laptops, flash drive, celphones, gps, madami eh
    game consoles: ps3, xbox 360, wii
    software: i bet for windows xp and linux

    sa electronic devices kasi, dapat may categorization like for communications, navigation, media player, mass storage, and more. pero those that i put in electronic devices are the ones who are the biggest innovation of this decade

    For me, it would probably be the popularity of broadband internet in general, both wired and wireless technologies.

    Because of faster internet, it made other technologies more practical and/or even possible as a business, leasure activity, etc

    pwede naman cellphones kasi early this decade gave us cheaper 2g and 3g phones and low cost plans which gave more people the chance to afford a mobile phone.

    Anyone remember the Nokia 3310?

    kung technology nga, broadband din. parang hindi ko kaya ng walang broadband, mawalan na ng cable wag lang broadband. hahaha.

    sa mga gadgets, hindi kasi ako gadget person. pero bukod sa affordable cellphones, netbook.

    My wife brought back a couple of those from her last visit. I told her to forget it. I'm not singing.
