Unleash your inner geek
Men get maximum pleasure from their gadgets and that’s not likely to change. From their need to play to their aspiration to make an impact on the ladies, men will continue to use gadgets for generations to come.
My man spends more time with gadgets around him and shares a special bond with his gadgets. At times I wonder what is more important to him. Me or his toys?
He has a bullet, two cars, all types of cool gadgets, game centres and watches. Needless to say, his garage is overfull with junk. By cool gadgets, I mean the most advanced phone, TV or any other usual devices. I mean the devices that are fun to use and that bring a cool quotient to his otherwise geeky life.
I’ve got some distinct tech lovers in my family as well (my dad and my broda), so this piece was really easy to put together.
If you’re like 99% of men that adorn this globe with an entirely unnecessary obsession with gadgets of any kind, then this article is for you.
While both sexes love gadgets, there seems to be an exceptional rapport between gadgets and men. Perhaps it’s the enthusiasm of seeing and holding something new and shiny in their hands. Possibly it’s just a hangover from the days when our forefathers used equipments to hunt.
Drone: Remember that drone from the Hindi movie 3 Idiots? Yes, the same one that Aamir Khan’s character Rancho was seen flying. That’s one tech gadget that is topping the charts these days. More than just a remote helicopter, these drones in fact have cameras. That means they can be utilised for way more than just playing around (and I’m not talking about spying). You can film your house from the air.
Virtual Reality Goggles: Want to visit the other side of the globe or attend a concert in a faraway town? Virtual reality is a pipe dream no longer; the technology is here, and it's awe-inspiring. Instead of experiencing entertainment on a flat screen, you can now put yourself in the action and physically look around digital worlds.
Automatic Car Adapter: This is the ultimate high-tech gadget for any man with a car. The Automatic car adapter simply connects to your car and basically tells you anything you need to know about your car from your phone. It has a GPS locator, so it can tell you where you’re parked, it can tell you exactly why your engine light is on, it will remind you to slow down if you’re driving over the speed limit, and can provide support if you’re in a car accident.
Bluetooth Helmet: You might have noticed that motorcycle helmet technology has moved very speedily (which is the pace of most technology) and that today’s bike-to-bike communication systems are reasonable and work very well. Bluetooth devices are rapidly replacing older forms of short-range communication technology. They operate evidently, effectively, and with relative safety. Consumers eager to add a Bluetooth device to their motorcycle gear have the choice of either purchasing a motorcycle helmet that already features a Bluetooth device or installing one later.
