Nowadays, gadget is a most important things and needed
thing in human life all around the world. The gadget that I mention here is the
machines or technology which created by some of the intelligent person and
founder to ensure human get a better life and easy to communicate with each
other generally.
First and foremost, before we talk more detail about
the gadget and all of the new gadget
that we have in market right now, we will see first the history of the
existance of all of this gadget. We will flash back from the root of its and
how it become a very useable and important things for a human being.
The origins of the word "gadget" trace
back to the 19th century. According to the Oxford English Dictionary
there is anecdotal evidence for the use of "gadget" as a placeholder name for a technical item whose precise name
one can't remember since the 1850s; with Robert Brown's 1886 book Spunyarn and Spindrift, A sailor
boy’s log of a voyage out and home in a China tea-clipper containing the earliest known usage in
print. The etymology of the word is disputed. A widely circulated story holds
that the word gadget was "invented" when Gaget, Gauthier & Cie,
the company behind the repousse construction of the Statue of Liberty (1886), made a small-scale version of the
monument and named it after their firm; however this contradicts the evidence
that the word was already used before in nautical circles, and the fact that it
did not become popular, at least in the USA, until after World War I. Other
sources cite a derivation from the French gachette which has been applied to various
pieces of a firing mechanism, or the French gagee,
a small tool or accessory.
When we talk about gadget, we know that there are many
gadget who exist in our surrounding right now such as mobile phone, notebook,
camera and some new technology likes I Pad and tablet. All the stuff here can
be afford by all level of human cluster. It is because all this thing are

they already provide a messaging system called Blackberry Messenger (BBM) to
ensure that the person who used this item will not pay even for a cent if they
have a chat and message with anybody who use the same application. So, it will
reduce a cost of messaging and very saving plan for a person who often have use
a messaging system and conservation.
Same goes to the person who love take a picture, they
are exposed to a new technology of camera called DSLR camera which much more
