I think that list is poor, surely there must be more interesting stuff than that!

 

Yeah - I don't get that either. Gadget? Now the camera - that is a gadget!

Just an aside . . . the other day I was working on my house, repairing a bay window that had some bad wood (not a good angle anywhere on the thing . . . of course, it's over one hundred years old. Come to think of it, I'm not near as old as the house and there aren't many good angles on me for that matter . . . :-D). Anyway, I got to thinking what a cool gadget someone from, say, the bronze age would have thought my simple hammer was . . . and considered how our gadget awe has become jaded with our bounding technology.

Of course, I may have been out in the sun too long . . . :confused

 

with the shoes is it refering to the 'nike +' bit? thats a gadget surely?
its a small transmitter thats goes inside the sole of the shoe which links with your ipod and tracks distance and speed etc.
