Gadgets

The Mobile PC magazine published a top 100 list of all the gadgets we have lying around.

It was interesting to find finnish products like Polar HRM or Nokia mobile phones from the list and also some gadgets I don’t even think as gadgets but more like everyday accessories: can opener, compass and maybe some others.

What happened when a Swedish instrument maker named Gunnar Tillander hooked up with Sweden’s most famous orienteer, Bjoern Kjellstroem? They invented the gold standard of compasses, which everyone from Boy Scouts to the military in dozens of countries still rely on.

And the first place goest to something I have been using 10-12 years ago and still sometimes take it out of the closet and use it. It is always nice and fun and enjoyable.
