So it just certainly does go to say that it does not matter if man was able to create other gadgets like the washing machine or the remote control - the mobile phone just topped the charts.

4000 people were surveyed and as the top scorer, the mobile got around 20% of the whole number of votes. The survey was done by Foundem. One spokesman even for the group did express, “We were surprised by some of the results - we didn’t expect the vibrator to make the top 10.�

    Hehe, I see vibrator on the list. ;)
