A gadget is a device or an appliance and history
A gadget is a device or an appliance that has a useful specific practical purpose and function but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are invariably considered to be more unusually or cleverly designed than normal technology at the time of their invention. Gadgets are sometimes also referred to as gizmos.
History
People where using gadgets since the beginning of history. These devices that have been created by people make their life better and full up their bellies. So what are those best gadgets that we still use today? Of, course he use modifications of those but the principles are the same. They have let humanity learn the basics of sciences and technology and lead us to this level of development.
At the very beginning people where gathering berries, plants roots, fruits and vegetables they were finding to feed themselves. Then they started hunting using sticks and rocks to kill animals. So the best gadget created at that time was a simple bow. Bow hunters were the most successful and they also used bows to protect themselves from other people. This would be the most popular gadget on digg if only they had digg back then. Well, the problem is that they did not have any social networks because they did not have Internet they where only planning on creating something like that, but I am sure they were discussing this news very much.
Later on, ages later, when humans needed to carry heavy stuff they have just designed wheel. Why so late? They just did not need it earlier. However, the result of their wheel creation we have cars and all the things that use round things. For example watches have gear wheels, our cars have wheels, most of mechanical devices have something that looks and functions like wheels. Hey, even iPod’s controlling wheel is round. See, what would we do if those people wouldn’t create the wheel we would have a square one?
