With so many developments in our gadgets in recent years, it can be hard to know which ones are worth getting, and which ones are just flops. As technology progresses it seems like there are more and more flops as well as hits. This can make it hard when trying to decide which of these new gadgets to get and which ones to leave at the store. For clarifications sake I’ll detail what to me is the definition of a “gadget” any device which implements current technology to make your life easier. With all the choices we have today it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that you might be a bit short on ideas of which gadgets would be useful to you. That is why I’ve generated this top 10 list of gadgets for 2010.
