In terms of introducing new mind blowing things, I agree that 2013 was not good at all (the new consoles deserve a special mention for completely failing to generated any enthusiasm at all) I also think though, that it was an incredible year for bridging a gap - specifically, the number of people becoming comfortable with using technology in their daily lives, and much more common than 2012. The sheer number of gadgets I see on a daily basis on my commute is unbelievable and very exciting. I think we have finally jumped over a hump where even grandparents have at least one decent device (ipads seem to be the most common). The coming years will only be more exciting because of the legwork done by this year.
