  1. A little silver thing. I can’t even describe it’s shape. But it had blue edging it with a miedium sized screen stuck in the middle. I have no idea what it was.

  2. It’s been sitting on the top of the sink for ages, now. Just a little green and gold thingy-ma-jig. Something left over from the Wonder Years, when things actually happened. Exciting things, y’know? Like that time when you and I took out the Evil Henchmen in One Fell Swoop. That was a great day.
    That little thing, that little green and gold thingy… Damn, I don’t even remember what we called it.
    Guess growing up makes you lose your imagination, and your sense of magic and mystery.

  3. gadget, an instrument to open something or help in making working easier, such as a can opener, a kitchen gadget is a familiar word. I use gadgets around the house, they are usually small in structure. Sometimes a gadget can be an object used for something else.

  4. gadget is kind of an ugly word. i never really liked it, it reminds me of inspector gadget. it says i have 60 seconds to write on this word but i dont see the countdown never mind i found it. No one really even uses this word….probably cuz its an ugly word, and thats how i really feel lol

  5. His wrist watch wasn’t just a wrist watch. It allowed him to know exactly where and when the boy was taken, as the security feed alerted him of the kidnapping.

  6. This was my first date in college, and my fashion-conscious roommate had been psyching me out all week about the importance of dressing well. I tried on a gray pea coat and a black fedora. He looked at me deadpan for a moment, then belted out, “Whoo-whoo! Inspector Gadget! Na-nuh-na-nuh-nuh! Whoo-whoo!”

  7. A tool, fairly limited use and can perhaps be better replaced with a more traditional method of doing whatever it is its inventor intended it to do. Slightly derogatory, but with perhaps a growing cachet in an era of electronic devices and geek chic.

  8. I’ll make you think you’re mine. You’ll be my slave, my gadget, my trophy–I can make you think like that. Little lover from an abusive father, you’re such a cliche, you’re a nightmare in that faded-pink dress, even color is desperate to get away from you, look at that. And they say that places can keep emotional charges, that’s why you see ghosts, at the places of murders or car accidents–when they died, an explosion of their energy, at just that moment, too heavy for the wind to blow away, decaying at the slowest rate, and when you walk into it–you’re bathed in it, no wonder you feel like shit, that apprehension, that tension, that nervous heartbeat.
    And that’s just what you are, you’re that terrible place, you’re not a body, you’re geography, a deposit of bad energy, and I’ll tear out all your roads, all the devils’ bones buried in the crossroads, and I’ll make you mine, girl, we’ll change all that

  9. something used to make life easier. Or more complicated. Often something you don’t need, but that is pretty cool. Weird shit.

    Lauren
  10. There are many types of gadgets in this world…Probably a new one each day that is invented. We use them to accomplish daily tasks that we otherwise couldn’t complete on our own. Some examples include the Apple Iphone, computers, and GPS

    Allison Zettlemoyer
  11. Computers robots and ipods. Unhuman but made by us for us to take us away from us. No nature just programs that send us to another place. Refigerators that keep our food cold and then we throw it away.

  12. The old man sighed. He watched the youth parade around the streets on their cell phones, iPods, laptops, and whatever other new-fangled gadgets this high tech world was providing. It was just another way for people to become disconnected from each other. Or was it more connected? He didn’t understand. He never did. It made him uncomfortable. They were good ideas, sure- he wasn’t that behind. But was it really worth it? What ever happened to the days where people just hung out with each other. Laughing hard, drinking beers and shooting shit away for hours. Eventually it would catch up to them. Eventually, everyone would just stop speaking to each other. Eventually, love and innocence and confrontation would just be a thing that ‘ma and pa’ did back in the good ol’ days. He sat back and looked up at the ever welcoming sky. “I’ll be there soon, God, and when I am, I don’t want to see one damned cell phone- just promise me that.”

  13. gadgets are used to distract. They arent completely necessary; but we believe they are. If we didnt have them, we would be better off. Mundane, daily chores may not be as convienient, but we would actually communicate with other humans.

  14. the thing that I can never understand. technical, technology, tech savvy. WHY am I bad at gadgetry, Not the go go gadget of my childhood. Not the gidget of my blonde skinny dreams. No, not widget, or wag, or a gauge of character but rather gadget. What a silly word.

    Hannah Burkhauser
  15. what we take for granted
    like the sun and the air
    the family and friends and time
    the school, the bus and you
    like a gadget
    and still I do not appreciate it
    and still I live my shameful life

  16. A tall man in a camel colored coat. The pockets were bulging full of things. Lots of little gadgets. Microscopes, magnifying glasses and tweezers. He seemed fun to be around. To bad I would have to arrest him for having all of it.

  17. He could never understand these human gadgets. What was so difficult about a cookfire? What use did these things have in battle? He could not fathom bringing a ‘toaster’ to war. What use then did it have?

  18. my mother has a gadget for everything. I mean EVERYTHING. It’s ridiculous. But you know what I love it, because if I ever need anything she can provide it for me.

  19. ipods are great these days thye let you block out lots of inwanted noise and crap like that. but these sorts of gadgets are getting smaller and smaller which scares me quite a bit, what is the world coming to? i dont know, mostly we need technology to stay alive, but im unsure about these gadgets as they make us very unsocial.

  20. Go-Go-Gadget… something I used to watch as a little kid. Such a carefree period of life.

  21. gadgets are boring because they are all technical and boring and show how shit the world has become, they are good in the way that they have enabled us to cure disease etc., but stupid pointless things that make people lazy, boring, mindnumbing fucks are not so good. i am quite anti gadgets, i dont really g

  22. There strewn about the work table, his many tools. Things that would otherwise go unnoticed to the untrained eye. Upon the table were blinking lights and instruments that serve no purpose but to delight his own amusements. What would he use next? And on whom?

  23. koji moj pa da pise, reci su izgubile svaku vrednost jer ih niko ne cuje sem ako nisu sopstvene pa i one se sve manje ciju. To je cela slika sa kojom propadamo. To je sve. Hey you.Pink Floyd

  24. no idea what to think abt it but it reminds me of those fool cartoons with gadget the captain or smth haha that guy, and gadgets? not my fav word, so strange to write/spell

    Curly
  25. Inspector Gadget! Go go gadget automobile!

    How would that even work? At least Inspector Gadget is slightly possible, but a car for an arm?

    That’s just outright farce.

  26. is something you usually don’t need but sometimes makes your life easier, more fun, or otherwise enriching.

    I tend to think of many at once, dangling from toy-store ceilings, beckoning to children who pass like so many mobiles. Chinese dragons, finger-puppets, otherwise. But these are all toys and not really gadgets at all.

  27. Gadgets and gizmos. Perfectly good words. Can describe many things, few or no limitations on them. So why aren’t they used more often? It doesn’t make sense. Gadgets and gizmos and thingamabobs, oh my.

  29. A gadget can come in handy in a variety of tight situations. Gizmo’s, gadgets, and tools that are necessary for practical incidents conform peaceful order.

  30. Gadget’s are an interesting thing. This reminds me of Just a Minute. When I was younger I think I was more preoccupied by gadgets than I am now, I remember how much I desired an iPod, then I got it and was ecstatic. Perhaps financial constraints, growing up have diminished my desire for gadgetry. I prefer soft toys.

  35. technology is like a thunderstorm that hits us when we are fast asleep. it jolts us into an endless fury of calculating, reacting, continuing into a new wave of ourselves. influenced and weakened we become complacent.

  36. gadget, device used to make things.. i guess, possibly gadgets make things
    things. object made by gadgets, or gadgets in and of themselves…
    themselves… would probably like to be referred to as gadgets.

    Jarrett Johnson
  37. He broke into the store with no sounds. He looked at the time and realized that he was ahead of schedule. He realized quickly that he was doing what he always did: he got complacent and this, like many other times before, would be his downfall.

    Nam
  38. There was no way of understanding the foreign gadget that laid before them. No matter how many times it was turned over, poked and prodded and eventually thrown at the wall…it still baffled the mind that such a thing existed. Eventually the two of them decided to call it a day and went up to the bed they had called paradise for years. A cell phone really has no place in the life of a 91 year old anyways.

  39. It sat out in the garage – the first gadget that began my brother and father’s gadget war. The old computer, running DOS. I only knew I liked playing with the torn-off sides of the dot matrix printer paper to make necklaces out of them.

    Dianne
  40. there all kinds of gadgets that i don’t know how to use, or even what they are for. I like that magazine on the airplane that has all the gadgets in it…very cool stuff. I like gadgets, they are fun and useful and useless.
