This is an interesting topic and one that I had just recently been musing about myself.

When I first read of the Palantir back in 1974 it seemed magical, even though we did have telephones and television, but some 34 years removed it seems more of a technological innovation similar to the iPhone, as has been mentioned.

I really liked the explanation for Sting.

The Mirror of Gladriel has some kind of physics application and usage beyond my knowledge as it could view events from the past, the present, and into possible futures.

Gandalf's lighting of his wand could be produced with batteries and a bulb.
