Yesterday’s gadgets and today’s

It is difficult to pinpoint when the first gadget was invented. The definition of a gadget is a small mechanical or electrical device that has a particular function. However, there are some gadgets that have been around for centuries, such as the abacus and the compass. Gadgets were first invented during the industrial revolution, when people started to move away from traditional methods of production.

During this time, there was an increase in technology and manufacturing processes and it was during this period that many of our modern day gadgets were invented. Some examples include: The bicycle - In 1817 a German inventor named Baron von Drais invented a two-wheeled vehicle that was powered by human energy; it did not have pedals, but instead had stirrups for you to place your feet on and push off with your legs.

It was called a ‘draisine’ (a forerunner to the bicycle). The telegraph - The telegraph was invented by Samuel Morse in 1844 and it transmitted messages over wires using dots and dashes to represent letters of the alphabet. This allowed messages to be sent quickly over long distances without having to travel by horseback or boat!

Gadgets have been around for centuries. A gadget is a tool that helps you do something more easily. It's a device that performs a function that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to perform with your hands alone. The word "gadget" comes from the French word "gadget," which means "a small machine of any kind." The first gadgets were simple machines like levers and pulleys used to help people move heavy objects.

In the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution brought rapid advances in technology and manufacturing. As new materials were developed, they were used to create more sophisticated gadgets that could do more things than ever before. Today, there are thousands of gadgets available on the market — from cell phones and computers to iPods and gaming systems.
