Consumer Gadgets
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
A device small enough to sit quietly on your wrist all day, yet packed with enough sensors to estimate your heart rate, sleep quality, and blood oxygen level.
Smart Home Devices
A category of devices whose biggest historical headache wasn't the technology itself, but simply getting one brand's gadgets to talk to another brand's gadgets.
Smartphones
A device that most people now check dozens or even hundreds of times a day — despite the entire category of "modern smartphone" being less than two decades old.
