The New Gadget Era is upon us! – Top 5 New Gadgets you don’t own


It can seem really difficult to navigate the newest technology coming out so quickly and seamlessly if you aren’t paying attention, right? Happens to me all the time. So here is a short list of gadgets from the Consumer Electronics Expo 2013[1], new to the consumer, that is sure to stir up some excitement!

1. Samsung “Youm” – This is just a code name for one of the hottest new gadgets 2013 has to offer. What is it? Samsung has developed a flexible OLED screen for cell phones and TVs that can bend and flex without breaking!

2. HAPifork Smart Fork – This is one gadget you don’t want to sink your teeth into. The developers at HAPifork have developed a fork and a smart phone app that can monitor how fast and how much you had to eat. Perfect for monitoring your portion sizes.

3. Oculus Rift – Think 3D is a fad and not here to stay? This virtual reality helmet creates a completely immersive 3D world where the wearer feels like they can walk around in their favorite video game or movie. This new gadget made an appearance this year at CES 2013 but is expected to take flight in 2014.

4. Nvidia Project Shield – A cool Android-based hand held gaming console for PC gamers who want to be mobile. Gamers can stream their PC games over Wi-Fi and enjoy an immersive experience on a portable console.

5. Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon PC – Have you ever wondered about eating breakfast and reading the newspaper on your kitchen table? At the same time? As far as new gadgets 2013 are serving up, this 27-inch desktop PC when flipped horizontally can be used as an interactive table. Launch the Monopoly app it just got that much more intense now!

Do you like the direction that some of the newest technology is going in? Will you buy?
