The Most Important Gadgets of the 21st Century
Here are some of the most important gadgets that were invented and introduced in the 21st century:
Bluetooth technology was planned in 1999, but manufacturers began to adopt it in mobile phones at the start of the 21st century. Now, with more connected gadgets than ever, Bluetooth has become an important part of our daily lives.
Kindle puts millions of books at your fingertips. You can get any book you want and begin reading it in minutes without leaving your house. It is a gadget for every reader, whether you’re a book reader, magazine reader, or newspaper reader.
Portable MP3 players had been around for many years before Apple lauched the iPod in 2001. It was the technology that changed the way people listened to music. It doesn’t only serve as a gadget that plays music. Video games are also playable on various versions of iPods.
Skype has changed the way people communicate across borders. It used to cost a lot of money to call someone abroad, but Skype made it possible to talk to them – and even video chat – for free over Wi-Fi. Users may also transmit both text and video messages, and may exchange digital documents such as images, text, and video.
A smartwatch is basically a mobile device, including the computer and the display. While early models could perform basic tasks, such as calculations, digital time telling and game-playing, 2010s smartwatches are wearable computers. Some models, also called “watch phones”, have the same functions as a smartphone.
