In the computer context, "chiclets" was last heard as the term for really cheesy calculator-style keyboards in early PCs, the Commodore PET comes to mind.

What comes to mind for me are monolithic ceramic capacitors. It was so sweet when they arrived on the scene, compared to the funky dipped ones that came before. This was a few years after the PET.
