        When talking about gadgets we cover a large area of different instruments, tools and accessories. Most of us might remember the highly popular cartoon “Inspector Gadget”. If you remember it, because you surely saw at least one episode at one time, the clumsy police inspector was basically built of gadgets (thus the name “Inspector Gadget”). These tools helped him in his quest to catch bad guys and save the world. It is true that the gadgets were useless in his hands but turned out useful in somebody else’s more capable use. That is of no interest whatsoever.
Just like with Inspector Gadget we now live in a world filled with different gadgets. Most individuals do not even know what that is but still use such appliances on a daily basis. Did you know cell phones, some watches, laptops, IPods, keyboards etc. are actually gadgets? Let us see know what a gadget really is and what we are talking about on this blog.
Technically speaking an accurate definition of “gadget” is “a device that can be used with a specific function and with a practical purpose in mind”. Practically speaking you can use the term “gadget” with a lot more meaning. Here is where the difference with other devices kicks in. Terms like “gizmo” or “novelty” are often confused with gadgets. To put it all simple, a gizmo is different from any gadget because it has moving parts. As a simple example, an analog watch can be considered a gizmo while a digital watch is actually a gadget. “Novelty” on the other hand is just something that has a clever, elegant, beautiful design but has no purpose whatsoever. Using a combination like “gadget gizmo” is basically a grammar mistake and should be avoided.
Talking about the actual word, its etymology is disputed. There are two versions to the appearance of the word in modern usage. One states that it comes from “Gaget, Gauthier & Cie” (the company that is behind the casting of The Statue of Liberty). They built a smaller version of the statue and named it with the title of the company. Others claim “gadget” derives from the French word “gâchette”. It has been used to define different parts of a firing mechanism.
In modern times the popularity of gadgets started with cartoons, just like the above mentioned “Inspector Gadget”, and the highly popular series featuring James Bond. In both cases the heroes used highly scientific gadgets in order to win their fight with evil. Furthermore, other characters like Iron Man, Batman, Robin or the Swat Cats made the idea of useful gadget even stronger. They created the basis for the constant invention of new devices and the constant improvement of existing gadgets.
