Once upon a time, a school essay had to be tapped out on a

typewriter instead of a keyboard. A rented movie was a tape that said

“Be kind, rewind!” on the case. If you missed an episode of your favor-

ite TV show, you could only hope to see it the next summer, when the

channel showed it again. Games mostly came in boxes. Birthday cards

only came in paper envelopes. The telephone was attached to a wall!

Today, all those things have changed because of gadgets that make life

faster and easier than ever before—gadgets that put a whole world at

a girl’s fingertips. These gadgets are changing how we work and play in

ways that we never could have imagined only a few years ago.
