Cool gadgets, hot gadgets, gadgets to simplify your
life or make you look sophisticated; gadgets with uncommon uses or
special features; every glossy advertisement seems to make at least one
such claim. Think of a need or a want; there’s a gadget to fill that
void in your life! A decade ago, many of them were unimaginable yet
today they have become commonplace.
Kayla Matthews of Technology tell wrote recently ‘While most gadgets won’t match the success of the iPhone, they may very well win over your heart and transform your life.’
Even so, yet some are still hard to come by, because they’re designed to be exclusive or priced to be exclusive!
Nowadays, gadgets don’t just perform cool tasks; they’re designed to look
cool too. Gone are the days when complicated tasks were performed by a
mass of buttons, wires and lights; appearance is important. Doctor
Frankenstein’s huge and intricate laboratory was very impressive to the
unsophisticated movie audiences of the thirties, but these days people
want to look modern and cutting-edge. They are more attracted to cool,
sleek gadgets- beauty with brains!
Of course, many gadgets hide their true function. There have always
been examples of disguising an object’s true purpose – think of the safe
that looks like a can of beans or a book – but this has usually been
for security reasons. Not any more; can you imagine a remote control
that looks like a tarantula? Not a very endearing prospect if you live
in South America or Africa. Or a projector that looks like a Christmas
star? How easy would that be to misplace on your tree?
The king of the hidden gadget has to be James Bond. From the
magnetized watch to the exploding keyring, there was nothing Q couldn’t
disguise. But it seems that anything that is portrayed in the movies
will one day become a reality – there’s even talk of work being done on a
Star Trek-style transporter beam, and light sabers are only a matter of
time.
Even though that technology is some way off, it’s still surprising
what you can buy now. Today, GPS in cellphones and cars is common
enough but have you ever imagined GPS in cycles? Well, even that is
possible with your Smartphone, but where would you fix it on a cycle?
That’s where a new gadget comes in handy, allowing you to leave your
phone safely in your pocket or bag. Your Bluetooth connection sends the
GPS signal straight to this gadget’s screen, conveniently and securely
fastened to your handlebars.
So, next time you are on vacation in an unknown city and you decide
to take a leisurely ride through it,don’t worry about getting lost; take
your own GPS and map your own routes. You can choose direction arrows
orthe voice assistant to guide you through unexplored territory. What
an innovative way to combine technology with creating a greener world.
Who said technology has to damage the environment? All we need now is a
digital assistant to ride the cycle for you!
