Consumer Electronics: Do You Have a Cool Gadgets Wish List?

“The name’s Bond.  James Bond.”  Who doesn’t love James Bond?  He’s a secret agent.  Everybody likes secrets.  Plus he’s handsome.  Definitely not hard to look at.  But what or rather WHO do people really love about Mr. Bond?  They love Q!  The guy who invented all of those cool gadgets that James Bond uses when he goes on a mission for Her Majesty’ Secret Service. Admit it.  Some of the most memorable scenes in the James Bond films is when he visits the Q Branch and he’s given a demonstration of the various types of gadgets he will be needing in order to successfully complete his assignment.

People love gadgets, don’t they?  After all, most people never grow up.  The child is always in their heart.  And what does a child love?  TOYS!!!  Kids love cool toys to play with and GADGETS ARE REALLY COOL TOYS!!

Most popular gadgets these days are not just toys though.  They’re used for serious purposes.  Not to accomplish a secret government operation.  But many gadgets either address home security and safety or they address one’s health, such as fitness trackers or other wearable technology.  Me?  I rather fancy entertainment-related gadgets with bluetooth technology.

Most gadgets these days are described as “SMART”.

“SMART is a mnemonic acronym … The letters S and M generally mean specific and measurable. Possibly the most common version has the remaining letters referring to achievable, relevant and time-bound.”   (Quote Source:  Wikipedia)

One of the most popular gadgets selling right now is a small wireless smart camera that has night vision and a 2-way audio.  Another popular item is a smartwatch that tracks heart rates and other health indicators, and it has a lot of other apps.  You can even use it to call a cab!

Do you like to buy gadgets?

What kind of gadgets do you buy OR what kind of gadgets are on your wish list?

Consumer Electronics and Gadgets Wish List

A fellow freelance writer published his list of the Top 5 Technology Gadgets Christmas Wishlist. However, that was in 2018. Since it's 2020 and I know how fast technology is outdated or invented, I compared that list to tech gadgets on two lists for 2020.

• Tech Radar published a list of Best Gadgets for 2020; and 
• Best Products published The 100 Coolest Tech Gadgets of 2020.

For those who like gaming, TR's list includes the best games console; and for those into health and fitness, TR's list includes the best fitness tracker. (Singular. They only listed one tracker.)

As for me, the Robot Vacuum is still on MY wishlist.

But in that list of 100 gadgets, here are the tech toys that caught my eye:

* There is a Portable Photo Printer. I'm from the Polaroid generation. I remember when one of my brothers got a Polaroid Instant Camera for Christmas. When I saw that gadget I felt this really strong nostalgia vibe.

* The Compact Wall Charger is awesome! Carry it in your pocket or your purse and if you need to rapidly charge a smartphone or tablet, just stick in an electrical outlet. It will charge your device and has a feature that protects from overheating.

* The Robot Vacuum is Number 35 on this Top 100 List and still Numero Uno on my list.

* The Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip I like because my kids said that I should like it. They usually know what they're talking about for a lot of this tech stuff.

* The Hot+Cool Cryptomic Air Purifier. To me, this should be the first gadget on the list. Everybody needs to breathe pure air. I believe in air purifiers. I have worked in companies that had air purifiers in the offices. They are amazing!

* Number 100 on this list of 100 is a product that I would have never guessed. It's a Wind-Resistant Umbrella. An umbrella is not an item I usually list under tech gadgets. But this umbrella is no ordinary umbrella! It can survive wind gusts up to 72 mph. Uh-huh. I'm not buying it. I have no need for that. According to the Beaufort Wind Scale, gale-force hurricane winds for a storm are 64 - 73 mph. I grew up in Miami, Florida. I don't go outside in hurricanes and we get enough advanced warning to know that we're supposed to find shelter. I have no need for an umbrella that can withstand 72 mph cause I'm not stupid enough to go outside and try to brave that kind of wind force!

Anyway! That Top 100 List is very easy to peruse. It's a gallery of photos with a description of about 1 or 2 paragraphs and tells you where you can buy these gadgets and how much they cost.
