A gadget is a device that has a specific purpose and function, generally of
small proportions, practical and at the same time novel. Gadgets tend to be
more ingenious in design than current technology.
Many technological devices of reduced size can be considered gadgets, such
as mobile phones, remote controls, iPods, PDAs, calculators, watches, etc.
Also Google has its sidebar with many (virtual) gadgets that can be used
with the Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac and GNU Linux operating
systems. The pen (mechanical pencil), the wrench, the comb, the fork,
among many others, also fit within the less technological definition.
