    #1 – Cell phone… Seriously, when I was a kid the idea of a cell phone was something Captain Kirk used on Star Trek.Now, even kids have them and I even feel out of sorts if I leave mine at home.#2 Wireless internet. Between phones with it or laptops and netbooks, the ability to be online anywhere and everywhere is astounding.
