No. 1 holiday wish: a computer
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Move over, peace and happiness. Computers are what Americans really want nowadays.
The machines outrank peace, happiness and clothes this year as the most wished-for gifts, according to a U.S. survey by the Consumer Electronics Assn., an industry’s trade organization.
Last year, the most popular answer to the annual survey’s open-ended query about respondents’ holiday wishes was clothing, followed by peace and happiness, money and computers.
This year, after computers, peace and happiness, people want a big-screen TV, clothes and then money.
