Go gadget go. It's a wonderful gadget filled world out there, but try to think about what that word means to you. When I think of it, I think initially of James Bond. Or more specifically the gadgets James Bond uses. I'm talking about rocket launching watches and bullet stopping tuxedos, but I realise these are perhaps a little farfetched. Or at least, they are being worked on and will hopefully be out in the not too distant future.

Sometimes, when I think about what the word gadget means to me, I think of less cool things. Sometimes I think of pointless or flimsy and breakable things. I must say that these don't really do it for me. I don't find them funny, even when I first see them. Some gadgets are just lame, and I don't get why people would like them. I can't really think of a specific example but you can understand what I'm talking about I'm sure. These sorts of gadgets are out there, but there are some cool ones out there too. Not as cool as the James Bond style of gadget, but still cool. Let's take a little look at them.

It's winter right now, and like a lot of people I've got a smart phone with a touch screen. Its 2012 people and still we can't actually use our phon
es with a pair of gloves in. Well, those geniuses at gadget HQ have come up with gloves that can actually work on a touch screen. Pretty good. Now you can keep your hands warm and text at the same time. That's pretty sweet. You know what, I've actually had a few occasions where I've been wearing gloves and my phone has started ringing. By the time I've taken my glove off and got my phone out of my pocket to unlock it and answer, the call had gone to voicemail. So there's another reason why this particular gadget is cool and not lame. They have this conductive fibre that's interwoven into them, and they work on the fingers and thumbs.

Here's another not lame gadget. A key finder. The definition of a lame gadget to me is something that isn't actually useful. Being able to find your keys is definitely useful. You can get a key finder that works like this. You attach a little device to your key ring, known as a fob, and you then have credit card sized device that you press which then sets off the fob. It will make noises and flash so that you can find your keys easily. Pretty cool.

Okay, so that's my little summing up of gadgets. Not lame ones cool ones. So it's a slippery slope for me, I still don't know about the James Bond style gadgets. But these are some good alternatives.
