  1. She stared at the pocket watch; who had one of these nowadays? She trailed her eyes over the intricate patterns that buried themselves into the brass skin of the cover. She had to admit – it was a beautiful gadget. Beautiful, antique, old, yet timeless.

  2. She was the only one who drove. The only one with a mobile phone, which kind of defeated the purpose. The only one with a sat-nav. Perhaps it was because she was so young by comparison, but she didn’t shy away from gadgets and technology the way the others did. She embraced it.

  6. Oh, no – gadgets – used to love ’em . Now/ they seem to kinda, sorta, screw me up – I just ovewrloaded the washing machine with far too much soap powder – result dead gadget… I want to return to a world of horse and cart,

  7. I have a lot of gadgets, probably many of which I don’t need. They’re instantly outdated as soon as I take them from the shop, and are eventually worthless. Why is everyone so infatuated with gadgets? We continually waste hundreds of dollars on them, and then go out and buy more. And more. And more.

  8. gadget

    Gadgets, and gizmos,
    all over the place.

    tedious decisions.
    I soon face…

    Gimbal devices,
    with no direction.

    Mod con appliance,
    missing their extensions.

    an injector,
    an accelerator,

    This contraption of sorts…

    I think it’s mechanical,
    but it’s missing a cord?

    cleaning my house,
    is the worst chore.

    Items of novelty,
    I don’t know why,
    I even own…anymore.

  9. Listless people lift that black remote, that gadget that added not one but twenty-five pounds to their useless, lazy frames. Useful as it seems to be, it adds to the uselessness of the human society.

  10. a mechanical device that provides a function you are not able to do for yourself. like a robot that is invented to supply someone with bone marrow their body cannot produce. NO, not a robot, a person – but this person is a clone, not unique flesh and blood because they are modeled after you. a gadget of your own cells and skin, someone with no real voice. in a world of disasters and castaways this perfect person has become your life raft. but not because they have something nice to say, or they are comfortable to be around – no, this person is only important to you because you need something from them.

  11. Inspector Gadget is my dearest freind. People misunderstand his awsomeness and supremicy, but i see and i understand and that is why at the apocolypse i shall live and you my freind, you shall die. Amen

  12. Defined as “a mechanical contrivance or device; any ingenious article,” gadgets usually refer to the whatsits or doo-dahs we stumble across in shops when we’re not looking for anything in particular. But ingenious articles… surely every article is ingenious. Every human, certainly. I’d like to think so. I’m a gadget (:

  13. DEVICE – HELPS IN AUTOMISING MANY TASKS THAT OTHERWISE HAVE TO BE DONE BY HAND. IT CAN BE ANY ELECRTICAL KIND OD INSTRUMENT LIKE A CAMERA A MIXER A WATCH A FAN AN AIR CINDITIONER HAIR DRYER.

  14. My eyes seemed to pop as I looked at the mountain of technology before me. Gadgets of all shapes and sizes, whirring clicking and flashing, a feast of temptation. Hands twitching, I walked to the nearest table. There was a small orb, golden and shining. But as my fingers were inches from it, the sound of footsteps came from behind me. My heart stopped, eyes darting for an escape. But the door had opened. Too late.

  15. Gadget is what you use! people use each other, but not as gadgets…gadgets are tools…kinda…tools that arn’t really useful…i wish i could reach through this computer screen and make l

  16. the gadgets used for human entertainment are not fun. the gadgets have become to complicated and hard to understand.

  17. The ultimate gadget. One that allows me to teleport from awkward situations with the flick of a wrist. Genius. Trademarked. Wait, maybe escape isn’t the answer?

  18. just like robots, uh God i hate all these mechanical, scientific words. Ew, they make me cringe and just… ehhhhh. I don’t even want to write about them, they’re just so ugly.

  19. He held the gadget in his hand, staring at it and flipping it around as if it were the first time he had ever seen it before. Then again, given his current situation… maybe it was.

    “So… what… does it do exactly?” Timidly, the teenager asked, looking back up to me with those same startling sapphire eyes he did before. I straightened a bit, finding it odd that my hypothesis was correct about him for once.

    “It…” How do I explain what it does to him? And without raising up too many more useless questions to go with it? Try as hard as I did in that moment to think up a method, I really had no clue. It was like explaining to a cave man what a television was.

    So I gave the easiest, simplest answer I could possibly fathom to give, “It… shows you alternate outcomes based on the decisions you could have but didn’t make in the past. What things could have been, if particular circumstances and choices were made.”

    Greyson stared at me with sheer confusion before looking back at the palm-sized contraption once again. I had expected a ‘how?’ or ‘why would someone make that?’ from him next, but no such questions came. Instead, I saw something set in his eyes, in his countenance. He stared at the thing with an increased sharpness I had never seen before.

    There was something he wanted to see. Badly.

    And I couldn’t help but wonder… what could that thing be, to cause such a disturbingly grim expression on this soft, timid kid?

  20. gadgets are interesting things, which generally allow us to be lazier as human beings. doing multiple jobs for us, combining everything we need into a selection of compact devices. I think gadgets are great, iphones, cameras, kindles, whatever, but the minimisation of human interaction and actual manual work is sad as anything.

  21. The pretty little mouse in Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers cartoon is the first thing that comes to my mind. And now I am thinking of cellphones that come out every year but I never bother to buy

  22. Little shiny piece of useless hardware. Beeping incessantly like a particularily irritating life support patient. Where do I hold the pillow down?

  23. Captain Spingo slammed the gadget down on the console. He stared at Eddie, the starship’s electronics specialist. “You told me this data frammistammer would get me the coordinates for the the Bligmak Froonisplandt quadrant. All it does is beep.”

    Eddie gulped and looked down to the console, where Spingo had placed his electric toothbrush. It did not bode well for him, 27 parsecs from Base Station Pluto, if it was discovered he’d lied on his résumé.

  24. “Oh that looks….um….amazing!” I tried so hard to sound convincing knowing that it was darned obvious that the new toy my boyfriend had bought me was more for his amusement than for my pleasure! Sheesh.

  25. A gadget is a small technological object that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are invariably[citation needed] considered to be more unusually or cleverly designed than normal technological objects at the time of their invention. In the software industry, “gadget” refers to computer programs that provide services without needing an independent application to be launched for each one, but instead run in an environment that manages multiple gadgets. There are several implementations based on existing software development techniques, like JavaScript, form input, and various image formats.

  29. Gadgets – bane of any woman in a relationship of any kind, because men are obsessed with them. They’re almost never of any practical value, and usually finish up relegated to anywhere in the kitchen where they get in your way when you’re trying to get anything done!!

  30. a gadget is anything that brings simplicity in our day to lives. But sometimes, these are the causes of our live being complicated at the first spot..so they are a necessary evil.

  31. It’s something you have that can do anything for you. It’s what lets me straighten my hair. It’s what lets me talk to my boyfriend. With it I can listen to music, change the channel, I can cut my hair and clip my nails. It’s anything I need it to be.

  32. Why is finding the gadget you really want so hard?! And when you are not looking for it, it is everywhere…sigh…

  34. A gadget is a tool. But not like regular tools. It’s not a hammer, it’s not a screwdriver; it’s a gadget. It has use. It has purpose. It’s usually invented for convenience. When I hear gadget, I usually think of Inspector Gadget. The cartoon. He’s full of surprises, as most gadgets should be. Gadgets should be not only portable, but accessible and useful as well. A perfect example of a gadget would be a handphone, because it fulfills all the gadget requirements. It’s handy and beneficial for communication.

  35. The leaves of the willow overhung the bench on which the lovers sat – a woman pulled by a dog on roller skates was approaching silently on the smooth park path way — surely we could try something new — were stuck in a rut – I’m just not interested in kinky stuff -the dog rolled by

  36. techonology, memorabilia, something you love about somebody you loved. Something we hold with us which means something nobody else knows. I dont like technology but i love my personal gadgets.

  37. I once owned a gagdget. A gadget in my heart. It swore it was magic. I swore it was art. I wanted to see the magical gadgets that I could unleash. When I used my gadget with my gadget and then my gadget used me. I couldn’t comprehend, just how tragic this would be, until the rabbit had it and marked my left knee.
