Out of Cheese

I’m not a gadget freak by any stretch of the imagination — I use my cell phone about two or three times a week and I don’t even know how to use its camera — but PC World’s 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years is a great read. Maybe that’s because I love history, and this is full of historical tidbits that I didn’t know. The first pager, the first answering machine, the first cordless phone — they’re all here. Neat stuff.
