To coincide with the launch of The Sunday Times Tech List consumer research was conducted looking at gadget and technology trends together with spending plans this Christmas.
When asked about their technology preferences, the public voted the laptop as their favourite gadget, followed by the mobile phone, despite the current tablet trend. The research also discovered the sacrifices people would make to afford their most-wanted piece of technology - 24% of people would give up alcohol, 15% their social life, 11% their annual holiday and 6% would delay a marriage proposal or wedding.
Despite an increasing reliance on technology in everyday life, some still struggle with common phrases - 16% of people don't know what HD (high definition) stands for, with more women (84%) in the know than men (81%).
The Sunday Times' technology expert Matt Bingham, who oversaw the creation of the list, commented: "Gadgets are at the top of many people's Christmas wish-lists and the average British adult spends nearly half their waking hours using some kind of technology. So it is no surprise that there are thousands of high-tech products to choose from. The Tech List's top 100 Gadgets will help everyone cut through the techno-babble and enable them to choose the best possible gadget this Christmas."
