A gadget is anything which serves many purposes and makes a
task much easier to perform. The history of gadgets dates back to the 1800’s,
where people like Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell anticipated how
obscure things like a telephone would be a part of everyday life decades later.
Today, there are extremely few areas which are yet to be simplified with the
help of gadgets. In short, gadgets make our lives a lot swifter, let’s look at
how.
Gadgets are great
fun: Every now and then we see a gadget which leaves us in awe, and wow
being the only word on our lips. We each have our reasons why we love gadgets,
for some it’s the games, for others the functionality. However, I think it’s
simply because gadgets are like toys for grownups. We enjoy them in every way
possible, right from their design to their many uses, the iphone being the
perfect example of this.

Gadgets save a lot of
space: Gadgets help us save a tremendous amount of space. This is because
they perform the functions of several products in one. For example, all smart
phones and blackberry’s today make it possible for one to do almost everything
you can do one a laptop or computer. You no longer need to carry your laptop
around to send emails and make presentations on the go; it can all be done on
your smart phone.
Gadgets have multiple
uses: Most gadgets serve many purposes; they are multi-use products. Right
from a printer which also serves as a scanner and Xerox machine to a Swiss Army
Knife which has between 10-50 products in one, gadgets are all about being
multi-use.
Gadgets equal
convenience: Gadgets make tasks a lot easier and create a high level of
convenience. A good example of this is a watch which can monitor the distance
covered, steps taken and calories burnt while you take a jog or even an armband
where you can place your ipod to ensure your hands free while running is a
great gadget.
These are just a handful of reasons why we are surrounding
by, and to an extent dependant on gadgets. If you know of any other reasons why
we always sought after the latest and coolest gadget, feel free to share them
