TheVerge named the top 100 electronic devices in the past ten years
The science and technology story of the 21st century is a process in which electronic devices move from the edge of people’s lives to the protagonist. Tools for creating and consuming culture are ubiquitous now, providing people with incredible new features, while also requiring people to spend more energy on these devices than any consumer product in history: we focus on fickle batteries Twist your body in search of better wireless signals, and ask them to listen to instructions from people.
The development of electronic equipment in the 21st century began with the fierce battle for smart phones. After Apple, Google and Samsung dominated the field of smart phones, the industry is rushing to develop new hardware. The combination of hardware, software, and services has never been so close: the light bulb is the terminal for cloud services, and the sound from the speakers comes from the data center.
In this decade, the headphone jack has been gradually phased out, and USB-C is ushered in. Electronic equipment has become extremely calm. Each device has become a temporary product that has been weighed by the company to take care of key businesses. Once shipped, it will not carry out more public relations activities or celebrity marketing. Some processors are fast and some are slow. Some keyboards are durable and some fail. Some batteries have a long battery life, some are not disabled, and others may explode.
When the device is really easy to use, people can use it to do some incredible and unexpected things. As a result, many devices (below the list) are important not because of a goal their developers want to achieve, but because of what people can do with them.
