474 Entries for “gadget”

  1. I hate that this is the word that popped up.
    I hate this word.
    I wanted to write something beautiful about something beautiful,
    but no.
    I got “gadget.”
    It isn’t even a pretty word.
    It doesn’t inspire anything.

  2. It’s recycling powers crushed the tiny kittens into a lumpy paste and filtered it out at the end. The small bones were strained and the smooth liquid squelched out onto the converter belt.

  3. The gadget looked difficult to use and I was immediately bored with it. My repeated attempts to turn it on had failed and now I was just sitting there with the gadget in my lap, feeling like an idiot.

  4. The robots have taken over. I don’t know how it happened… must’ve been a gradual takeover. It was just BOOM! they control everything.
    There’s no one else alive.
    I’m the last one.

  5. Where has my gadget gone?
    What will i use to save me?
    What weapon will my hand behold,
    When the waves soon overtake me?
    How will I fight?
    Will I survive?
    Whats the reason that we strive,
    To live in this world,
    Though it is so cruel?
    Where has my gadget gone?
    What will I use?
    To save the world?

  6. Gadget makes me think of that old movie, ‘Inspector Gadget’. I don’t remember the name of the guy who plays him, but he plays a cop that almost dies until they fit him with a prototype, ‘half robot, half human’ body. He has all these gadgets inside him and he’s virtually indestructible. That’s what gadget makes me think of.

  7. i don’t want to write about a gadget..sooo I’m gonna talk about penguins. penguins are cute and flufffyyyy! :) Men sit on eggs. coo. quack. Penguins could quack if they had bigger beaks. And if it weren’t so cold. unless we’re talking about those weird “tropical” penguins…

  8. gadget
    sometimes thought of as electronic
    the word that comes to my mind is steampunk
    steampunk gadgetry, and lots of it.
    lots of gears and watches and awesomeness
    I think that’s about it…
    OH AND ROBOTS!
    All your base are belong to us.
    (I had to click back, so I wrote this in my second sixty seconds)

  9. It worked. One step forward every second. Step. Step. Step. Step.

    He sighed as he placed his head on the table to watch the small gadget walk slowly across the wood. He wanted it to scurry. Then it would be a success. His little baby gadget.

  10. the thing that is a thing. An invention. Purple. Lego’s. Albert Einstein. Inventor. New things. Ideas put into play. Go go Gadget. Inspector Gadget. Robots. vacuum cleaners. Patents. New things.

  11. everything is a gadget. what isn’t, when you break it down, not a gadget? i lied. lots of things. what the hell am I talking about. I’ll figure this out someday without thinking about gadgets and instead write about what i’m thinking which is not “gadget”.

  12. The girl starred at the bronze gadget in her small hand. She glanced up at the time traveler with pride.

  13. As a kid my brother and I got along great. Looking back, we only had one fight. It was over Inspector Gadget. I hated cartoons and he loved them. One day I had it and it was Inspector Gadget that put me over the edge. I could not handle that guy…His sidekicks, his gadgets, too much for me. If you are wondering, I won.

  14. inspector gadget was in a very grim mood because his niece and sidekick dog pet were kidnapped by the evil Dr. smithside. he uncorked all of the wine bottles in the cellar and used the corks to make a boat to go to the galopagos islands to save them, and ran into a feller named charles darwin. he made up a story about evolution and amazingly enough he bought it. so he did not save his niece and sidekick, but he did change the world.

  15. i love it, so full of technological whimsy. nothing about this gadget is controlled or limited, it continues to grow and thrive forever. i love its glow of all knowing intelligence, i wish that i could hold on to its never ending thoughts, but it’s too late for such a hope.

  16. It clatters and clangs
    Whizzes and whoops
    And at the end of it all
    Nothing gets done
    But I put it away and smile
    And I feel a bit better
    For trying

  17. Wow, I wish I had a special gadget that would get all my work done for me. I’m tired. I want to be done. Two weeks have never felt so long. I want some crazy magical being to just pop into my life and say “poof, your finals are done, you have all A’s.” But that’s just a dream. Not reality. Nor a gadget.

    I think of gizmos when I see gadget. Or inspector gadget. Huh. Serious throwbacks. A gadget is just a tool really, nothing too fancy.

  20. inspector gadget was the best movie to ever come out when i was little. it made me not afraid to die. in the movie a man almost dies and is put back together with lots of gadgets infront of him and i was always so happy i didnt have to be afraid.

  21. My shop holds plenty of items. Some dangerous, some lethal. I have to admit that I knew there would come a day that this job would finally get to me. You can only sell these kinds of torture devices for so long before you start to worry about the victims who soon follow. I just never thought I would see my wife.

    Kate
  22. Inspector gadget was a terrible movie. It made me upset and ruined my childhood. The guys claw was really stupid.

  23. you told me that you couldn’t even make calls on it, raising your silvery eyebrows one by one as you gazed at me in confusion. “every time i dial a number it takes me to this screen!” you shove the phone in my face, the screen glaring back with bright colors and a dancing worm. “no, grandpa”, i say. “it’s simple, see?” as you smiled back and pretended to understand so i would be happy.

  24. the way the world turns, and works, the way we fidget and fuel our minds and lives and thoughts. turning and spinning, the beeps and clicks of hardwork, honesty, no–earnestness that is lost. but all of it is simply something that we wanted to breathe and be, to feel accomplished. like maybe we weren’t mistakes, and simply something else.

  25. life dependent
    annoying
    taking over EVERYTHING
    never leave home with out it
    it is home

    well actually they already have
    we’re its mind and body.

  27. there are plenty of them in this world. The movie robots was a massive advocate for gadets and gizmos. Literally i love to just mix them together and make all sorts of cool things. If you go into the mall they always have these gadget shops where you can buy noveltie stuff thats just plane fricking sick. Then you get it and like 5 minutes later you get tired of it. Its a viscious cycle.

  28. Bartholomew wasn’t just curious, he was determined. Today was the day he was going to be able to leap from the aluminum gutters, push the “on” button, and never have to talk to his brother at the dinner table ever again.

  29. I pulled the purple ipod from my pocket, my heart was set on Regina Spektor. The sound of my cry was not heard because of the subway that passed by. No one but myself could feel the pain of a low battery.

  30. Gadget.
    This reminds me of
    Inspector Gadget.
    Remember all those times watching those stupid movies?
    When I was seven, I was at a swim meet where a girl was trying to be nice to me, but I was rude to her. She invited my friend and I to watch the Inspector Gadget cartoon with her swim team. I was like “He’s not my FRIEND, he’s my BROTHER. Geez.” She blinked really fast. “Oh, sorry.” We sat on her towel and watched it with her. I was so high and mighty when I was little. My brother and I against the world.

  31. electronics are my life
    never leave home without the gadgets in my pockets
    all 3
    they always should be charged
    Inspector gadget
    gadgets should be nice looking :)

  32. It’s artificial somewhat. Technological, I’d say. Of course that’s fairly obvious, but it’s the first thing to come to my mind at this point and time. It helps you, it’s a friend, but it’s no organic, at least not to me.

  33. computer, trendy, mac, apple, Ipod, silocon valley, metal, china, bad for environment, not needed, modernization

  34. This gadget I’ve been using is driving me crazy! The only thing it does is crash and crash every five seconds. It crashes almost as much as my relationship does. Like for example 5 seconds before I started writing me and my boyfriend got into another fight.

  35. gadgets are so fucking cool but completely useless to most people since they all have specific functions. why not just get one thing that does it all and avoid the hassle that way you don’t end up losing money on things that need updated and replaced and stuff? it makes no sense….

  36. Gadgets are cool little electronic devices. I think men like to get gadgets for their birthdays, but I’m not positive. How about that movie Go-Go-Gadget? That exemplifies their usefulness, doesn’t it. I think so. I’d like an iPad. :)

    Veronica
  37. Sometimes a mysterious item which can bring great pleasure while trying to figure it out. It does not necessarily need to have a reason to exsist.

  38. Gadget’ll getcha well, if’n you’s predisposed to bein’ got. Gotta get while the gadget’s hot, like they say. As for me, I’ll pass.

  39. inspector gadget was on tv when I was a kid, it was a little over my head for the time but I watched in awe. How could one man do so many things. I remember that he had a cave lab, or an office underground and some friends.
