My Gadget love and how I got my Gadget Fix

The find is what I crave. Do you find something online or in a store and just get a tingle that says I need to buy this?

Gadgets, things, devices are all stuff, these are all materialistic objects but I think that these objects can do more then just help you complete the task at hand, or just be a cool object to say you have. I found that gadgets, not just any gadget, I am talking about that weird or aggressive thing that can make a person say something to you about it, or spark a conversation because you want to tell someone about the device and maybe they will buy that same thing and then the conversation continues with that persons friends.

This is a web of communication that was sparked by one individual cool gadget that initiated an interest from someone else.

I believe that a really cool gadget can help create relationships, bonding and preliminary conversation between individuals.

Have you ever seen something really cool, that your friend, family or stranger had, so much so that you had to ask about the gadget?

Will electric cars be the new Gadgets for men? They are slowly invading our streets

Imagine our world never having gasoline-powered vehicles to rip up the streets with. This isn’t just a case of future technology turning into a fad. Here are some facts about a really cool subsection of the car industry.

Electric cars do not run on anything that produces emissions (Zero) making them the greenest and most eco friendly cars on the planet.[1]

You can even take your regular car and fit it with a universal electric car conversion kit. You can swap out your old transmission and gas tank for completely electric ride and it will only cost you $5,571.[2]

For the skeptics, and lovers of gadgets for men, who think electric cars have no power, should check out Tesla Motors and the two high-end performance models they offer to consumers. Think of a Maserati meeting a Dodge Viper, but you can plug it into your wall at home.

Even though it is not considered future technology anymore, electric cars have not really made a splash into the consumer market yet. Could this be because of its still relatively high cost to produce? Will there ever be, in our lifetime, a chance for fully electric cars to take over the industry? Nostalgia always has supporters, so in my opinion we will always have gasoline powered cars, even if it is to keep the aficionados happy

Do you think the direction of electric cars is headed straight for us? Would you install an electric car conversion kit?

A Happy Story that began with a few neat gadgets

The first real moment of true happiness in my life was when I got the Nintendo Entertainment System as a 4-year-old child. My parents and I were visiting family in Chicago when a box holding the newest technology was given to me and met with pure joy.

That began my love affair with gadgets and technology. You see, when I got a bit older I was into spy gadgets like the "Talk Boy" from Home Alone 2 and invisible ink.

From there I got older and more mature so I started looking into TVs, game consoles and cell phones. As my first real purchase with my own money I naturally went for the PlayStation so I could keep up with all my friends. After that, video games were a way to bond with other people and spark common interests.

As an adult, slowly progressing out of hardcore gaming (sigh) cell phones replaced the spy gadgets of years past. I will never forget standing in line at the Apple Store in New York City waiting to get my hands on the iPhone. I couldn’t wait to get home and have it unlocked so I could show off the pinnacle of the newest technology. I can safely say it all began with a few neat gadgets, and the passion will probably never go away.

Do you have any influential gadgets that helped you grow as a person? Leave your happy story bellow.
