Gadgets

People always invent something new and unusual. Such things aimed to simplify people’s life always become an important part of it. For example, it is difficult to imagine the modern life without computers, television, cars, mobile phones and so on. We use them in our everyday life. Besides, every year all such inventions are developed and become faster and “smarter”.

Nowadays we often hear a popular word “gadget”. What is a gadget? It is a small device aimed to simplify the life of people. We can meet gadgets in different fields. For example, we use different kinds of fit bits in sport. It seems to me that one of the most unusual gadgets is used in medicine. It is an electronic adhesive bandage. It traces different things such as pulse rate and body temperature. In software industry the term “gadget” is also used. However in that field it means some additional icon, for example, which shows weather forecast.

As for devices it is impossible not to mention such gadgets as virtual vision video glasses, game consoles, smartphones, tablets, MP3-players and many other things. Smartphones are mobile phones which combines the functions of a phone and a computer. Tablets are devices with touch screen which gives a user an opportunity to control different computer software programmes. E-books are also gadgets. They allow people to read books everywhere without necessity of carrying printed books.

In my opinion, gadgets really simplify our life and allow us do many things when and where it is convenient for us.
