“1,080p high-definition television, portable music players and mobile phones.”
“Obviously, the iPod has revolutionized the music and entertainment industry, and I think the DVR has done the same for TV. I don't think I could live without either one these days.”

“I can't live without my BlackBerry, on which I have been totally dependent for 24/7 voice and e-mail communications.”

“I can't live, or drive, without car navigation. Since the day I arrived in California [summer 1995], I have had navigation so I never had to learn the local road system. I am a certified nav junkie.”
“My entire CD collection. Over 850 discs with over 11,000 songs are loaded on my Yamaha MusicCast MCX2000. Instantly, I have access to all of the music I have collected over the years.”
“HDTV. In the early 1980s those first big-screen rear-projection analog TVs were pretty cool, but nothing like the amazing resolution and all-encompassing entertainment experience of HDTV. ”
“TiVo. Not DVR, real TiVo.”
“My laptop with wireless Sprint card and my cellphones. My phones give me global presence 24 hours a day, If we didn't have instant messaging, Skype, laptops or cellphones, the world would go right past us.”
“The simple cordless telephone. It freed consumers from being tied to a single location. It was a necessity waiting to happen. And my Toughbook laptop PC. It's like an extension of my brain.”
