Looking Back: Gadgets from 1968
From Unplggd: Our site that untangles your wires

We can still see ourselves using this record player today, not to mention some of the other gadgets highlighted by New York Magazine.

Would anyone happen to know which size Glo-ball lamp is in the "George's Green Genius" photo? It looks like the mini to me, but I'm not quite sure.
