FACTS ABOUT GADGETS: INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GADGETS

Twenty years ago, almost the entire population of Earth didn’t know what a gadget was, nor the amount of happiness it can bring in the lines of teenagers. Nowadays, it is a very common word between internet enthusiasts, but of course, there still are many people that don’t know what we’re talking about when we refer to a gadget.Ok. What is the gadget, actually? This term is a recent invented word that refers to a device that has a purpose and a well defined function for everyday use. The gadgets concepts have a widespread area that includes MP3 players, PDAs, smart-phones, tablets, among others. To put it simple: an electronic object. But it is not necessarily a physical object. On the internet or, more simple, on the average computer system you’re likely to find… what do you think?! A gadget. In this case, it stands for software or for a software module, tool or service that can be added to a higher platform. Example: Google Desktop, Windows Vista, Mac OS X, and Gnome are environments that accept some types of gadgets, adding functionality to the desktop computer. Believe it or not, the gadgets tend to have a social status, in addition to its traditional one. This appears when dealing with high-priced technology. To the extent that relate mostly the latest technology devices come with often high prices. The term Gadget is in reference to a technology product for a few, but it’s used generically when it comes to software. It is impossible to deny, that we are now well and truly in the digital age. Resistance is futile. Ambitious, if slightly extraordinary concepts in films such as Torn, Blade Runner, Back to the Future and more recently I, Robot, gave us a ‘glimpse’ of what the future may hold, but how far away are we really from witnessing the ideas of these over-stimulated directors come to fruition? Unfortunately, we are still some way off being able to pop to the shop on a Marty Muffle Mattel hover board, but that is not for the want of trying. Many designs and prototypes have been made, but none have come close to reproducing the experience depicted in the film. The idea of human-built robots uprising and attempting to overthrow their creators is nothing new, and the Japanese are currently leading the way in designing and building eerily life-like robots, but the threat of a rebellion is about as likely as a DeLorean actually traveling back to the Future. So what gadgets are readily available to us? To first understand this, we must consider how they have come about. Consumerism and the modern way of living have demanded that our gadgets operate in a certain way, as the following are expected of them:

1. Information/Labour-saver – A gadget must either make menial tasks easier, or provide us with information.
2. Efficiency – Speaks for itself.
3. Speed – If it is going to take longer than doing it the old fashioned way, then what is the point?
4. Compactness/Mobility – No gadget can really honor that title if it does not at least have a mobile counterpart.
5. Looks – It needs to look cool, futuristic, and mysterious!

The key, which has already been mentioned, is digital. Watches were digitalized, then along came the internet, then radio and TV were given the digital treatment. I really hope that after this small article you’ll have a better understanding of this object that tends to invade out everyday life, but of course, for the better.

so below is a list of the gadgets that can truly claim to have changed our lives or the way we interact with our environment and other people.
