Wired Magazine finally came up with its list of top gadgets for 2008 and the results are interesting simply because it was such a great year for the development of imaginative and absolutely practical gadgets of all kinds.
One of the top gadgets was not really a gadget but actually a chair. The Herman Miller Embody Chair was more like a body suit. It is just that the back is covered with the most precise engineering and as a result your back benefits. There are controls on this chair to adjust every part of your spine as well as your hips, neck and lumbar spine. There is also a multilayered seat that can cradle even the tiniest shifts in weight. Your rear end is well support no matter how much or how little you move.
Another biggie on the list was a pair of headphones called “Monster Beats by Dre”. This gadget is collaboration between Monster Cable and Dr. dRe to produce a set of headphones that can finally produce deep rich bass sounds… These are over the ear phones and they are quite a break through as until now nobody has really produced noise cancelling headphones that also can bring you that low satisfying thumping.
Cheap flip video cameras were also really big news all this year and although the Flip Mino HD was considered to be more popular Wired Magazine voted the You Tube ready camcorder called the Z16 to be the best in terms of turning out a real quality video.
Wondering which wide screened television was thought the best by the notoriously snarky and fussy magazine. For high definition they voted the Mitsubishi Laservue flat screen HD television as the best even though it cost seven grand. The reason it s that this television has twice as much color as any other television due to the large size of the internal lasers providing the light. This television is a rear projection television and they start at fifty inches in size. It also has lasers that not only make it brilliant and sharp but also enable to use it one third of the energy of other televisions. So not only is it really contemporary. It is also a Green television. That is why it got such high marks from wired.
There were also a lot of netbooks on the market this year and if Wired Magazine had to choose just one it would be the Netbook – MSI Wind. The magazine saw most of this crop of netboxes as being mediocre plastic boxes. The reason the Wind got top kudos from Wired is because it seemed to balance better than other models and you can implant Apple Os X on it using Wind’s Linux based OS.
