PC World has an article out titled, The 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years. Their number one gadget for the past fifty years, The Sony Walkman (1979). I think everybody my age had one, though maybe not the very first ones which were around $200. The items were a must when you were on your way to school or taking a walk. You know, besides the Walkman, it was also the first time I wore portable stereo headphones. Before then, all I had ever used was a single earpiece that plugged into my AM transistor radio.
