Tech for the Lame Man

Gadgets Everyone Should Own

Technology is growing and growing fast. Technological boundaries keep getting broken frequently, making lots of gadgets available for acquisition but not every gadget is necessary or at least useful to the common man. In this post, I am going to list a couple of gadgets I think everyone should have in his or her arsenal.

  1. A Laptop
    Everyone needs a Personal Computer (PC) in his or her life and a laptop is usually the safest bet (due to its portability). A laptop will help in a lot of aspects in your life. You can shop on your laptop (online shopping), write codes (programming), prepare projects and presentations, watch movies and much more. The laptop you decide to get depends on many factors, some of which include your preferences, your budget, what you intend to use the laptop for and many others. If you don’t have the slightest clue about laptops but want to get one that’s just right for you, here are a few things to consider, The Weight; Laptops are meant to be portable and easy to carry around, carrying around a toaster would do you no good at all. The Specs; These determine the processing power of your system and how easily it can handle tasks. The Price; Your budget will determine which system you will be able to afford, it’s always advisable to keep to your budget and not buy a system which will leave you scraping the bottom of your purse or wallet.
  2. A Smartphone
    Although this might seem like a no brainer, not everyone in this day and age has a Smartphone for one reason or the other but the truth is having one is essential. Everything is becoming digital at a fast rate and you need a Smartphone to keep up. There are several brands out there which produce Smartphones but the Smartphone battle is usually between Apple and Samsung Devices which are a bit pricey but are usually worth every penny.
  3. A Smart Watch
    A Smart Watch to accompany your Smartphone is a brilliant idea. Smart Watches have a ton of features which make handling a Smartphone easier than it already is. They can help answer your calls, receive notifications, access your music playlist, tell time (obviously) and much more without even bringing your phone out of your pocket. The Smart Watch you invest in really determines on the Smartphone you own, for example, if you own an Apple Smartphone, it would be wise to invest in an Apple Watch which has been tailored by Apple to meet iOS user needs. Other smart watches exist and would work with your Apple Smartphone but they won’t work as well and seamless as the Apple Watch would.
  4. Headphones
    Once in a while, you feel the need to pass the time and listen to some  music. You open your music player and start to play some tunes but you soon realize that background noises are hindering the sounds from your phone or you are in a place where loud sounds will not be appreciated, this is where your headphones come in to play. You connect them to your phone or any other device you have and just like that, you are listening to your favorite tunes in solitude. Headphones come in wired and wireless variants and there are a lot of good headphones out there so you can’t go wrong with any.
  5. Portable Speakers
    There are times when you will be hanging out with friends and everyone would like to listen to music collectively, this is where the portable speaker comes in handy. Most portable speakers offer both wired and wireless connections making connecting to one a breeze and in no time at all, everyone would be listening to your favorite jams and turning up.
  6. Battery Case/Power Bank
    Sometimes you will be short on power in your phone for some unfortunate reason or the other and really need some power and there is no electrical outlet in sight, the battery case or power bank helps keep your phone alive and even most times give it a full charge, keeping you connected to the digital world.

If you don’t have some or all of these items, I suggest you save up and invest in them. They would make your life a hell of a lot easier.
