Setting up my mother (now 74) so that I can access her laptop remotely to solve her problems (rather than attempting to do so over the phone) in the best gift I ever gave MYSELF! :)

I still remember the time I was asking her what she saw down in the lower-right of her screen and, after being confused for about 5 minutes, realizing she was describing the lower-left side of her screen...

In app purchases is the future.. at least for those who want to make more money off their software. Just wait until you find out you need to buy a comma pack for $1.99 when using MS Office in the cloud! :)

Nice. Being a parent, the first thing I noticed was how much stuff will be within reach when the baby begins crawling and walking..

Still patiently waiting for the Fitbit Flex, which is (almost) the same thing in bracelet form. I've read of a good number of people losing or accidentally washing their Zip, so I am hoping this is a better solution for me.

This is cool, but... "little used"?? We use ours for ironing all the time. I love it. Much better than having an ironing board!

5 Sounds That Have Disappeared
In the Last Decade

My wife's Droid DNA offers the dial up modem sounds as an alert sound.

Similar to what @Katalyst said, I miss the sound of the track changing on my 8 track...

And it may be a bit pedantic, but just the fact that you have examples of the sound means they haven't "disappeared" ... more like sounds that were once prevalent, but no longer are.

Got my son a Crosley portable radio for Christmas 'cause it looked cool and portable. Unfortunately, it seemed rather poorly made and half the functions did not work. Was on sale at Target and when I returned they had no more in stock.

Based on the build quality of the radio, I am not sure I'd trust my vinyl with one of these...

@gofram - if you find out who did, let me know. "I'd like to shake his hand. He made my baby fall in love with me." :)

I see what the artist is getting at, and while clever, it is hardly comparable. For example, if I use an address book as face book, if I write something in it, all my friends in my address book do not automatically see it. Likewise with a post-it note.

You could just as easily point an arrow at a written snailmail letter and call it a phone if you want to go back far enough.

I don't think anyone is claiming these are all new idea so much as ways of using technology to share/make it better.

@hrhprincessfiona - if Warhol had done a portrait of Hitler or Stalin, people probably would have them displayed...
