What was the one travel-related item that rocked your world this year? We asked four of our nerdiest editors to come up with an answer, and come prepared to defend it.

Sneak peek: someone cheated and picked two; someone else droned on about ... well, drones; and a few others got trapped in the age-old debate of form versus function. It's been a great year for travel tech, after all. In the end, though, we came up with five ultimate items that most travelers could probably live without—like a 360 camera in the age of the selfie stick—but shouldn't.
