Very interesting interactive infographic showing the average price and units sold of gadgets throughout the years, from cellphones to laptops to digital TVs. The average price of a cellphone in 1984? A cool $4,212.

As a new year’s gift Reykjavík-based firm Gagarin created these pencils based on “Six Thinking Hats,” a creative thinking method invented by Edward de Bono early in the 1980s. “The pencils are colour coded and each colour stands for a certain direction of thinking. Each participant selects one pencil and then approaches the discussion with a mindset matching the pencil’s colour. By switching pencils the participants systematically redirect their thoughts on the subject. “
