Consumer Gadgets
The devices that made their way from labs into everyone's pockets and homes.
Smartphones
The touchscreen smartphone is only as old as the 2007 iPhone, yet it's now the main route online for much of the world.
Gaming Consoles

Drones
A technology that went from a specialized military tool to something available at ordinary consumer electronics stores in a remarkably short span of time.
Wearables
Your wrist gadget quietly tracks steps, heart rate, and sleep, and some models even keep an eye on blood oxygen.
Smart Home Devices
Smart home gadgets' biggest headache has been less the tech than getting one brand's devices to talk to another's.
