Most Important Consumer Technologies: Not PCs or Mobiles

Though we sometimes forget it, the devices we rely on most are not mobile phones and PCs, but cars, clothes washers and dryers, air conditioning and other mundane things we don't even typically think about as "technology."

Someday, though, mobile phones and PCs probably will  be in the category of things we use everyday but don't necessarily consider to be "technology."

Right now, even air conditioning in one's automobile and TV sets rank higher on technology "needs" than PCs or mobile phones, though.
