The history of gadgets extends as far as humanity itself - since hominids began creating tools to make their lives easier.

Today, the industry has increased the creation of new devices, while some retailers, including Brookstone and RichardSolo.com Richard Thalheimer, specialize in disseminating them.

What famous inventor Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and Leonardo da Vinci, among others, had in common was the forecast. They understood that a lifetime spent playing with toys and other artifacts considered nonsense would eventually result in the necessary technologies.

Perhaps one of the earliest, most well known is the wheel gadgets created many millennia ago. Take a ride in your car and see how truly revolutionary became to gadget and how much we now depend on it for transportation. To latest gadget, the Apple iPhone seems to be the initial stage of a new gadget that will need to become a new form of communication.

"Certainly, most people enjoy the novelty of to device that enters the market at your convenience lifestyle." What they forget is that the solution of these problems is not just entertainment, but some of these devices become functional needs everyday. In my personal life, I rely on my iPhone, my garage door opener, my nose hair cutter, my electric toothbrush, and other gadgets that were eleven regarded novel as gadgets.

I've seen some devices, such as the Ionic Breeze air purifier, encourage sensationalistic and lasting trends based on the realization of to utility value, while others collected dust on the shelves after its novelty wore out. Specialty stores like The Sharper Image Richard Thalheimer RichardSolo.com and serve a larger purpose: to spread new ideas, and give credit to the Franklin and Edison in the world.
