Until a few years ago, I believed that electronic gadgets were assembled in some warehouse somewhere. I thought there were hundreds of thousands of unopened boxes that had been stacked into mountains. They were all ready to be shipped and be placed on display in a store near you. Boy was I ever wrong.

There are so many hidden secrets behind the gadgets we use every day. I hope this post will shed light on some of the most fascinating places where our favorite gadgets come from.

Electronic products often come from taiwan and china

Electronic gadgets come from many places around the world. But some are more popular than others for certain types of products. The most common sources of electronic gadgets are China and Taiwan, which have been manufacturing electronics for decades. In addition to being able to produce high volumes of products at low costs, these countries also have well-established supply chains that can provide parts quickly and efficiently.

Other major sources include Japan, South Korea, the United States and Europe (particularly Germany).

Other countries in east asia are big producers of electronics and computer parts.

Partly because of the high cost of labor in the U.S., electronics are often made in Asian countries. Other countries in east asia are big producers of electronics and computer parts. These include Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and China. Some American companies have moved their operations abroad to save money on labor costs.

However, this has created some problems for U.S. consumers. For example, many computers sold by Dell Computer Corporation now come from China or Mexico instead of being assembled in Texas as they were before. This means that if you want to get a new computer from Dell's Web site, you may have to wait longer than you would expect because your order has to be sent overseas first.

The most popular gadgets are made in massive factories.

A gadget is a small tool or household item that has multiple uses. Gadgets are usually electronic, mechanical or electromechanical in nature and often made with a specific purpose in mind. In addition to gadgets, there are also gizmos, doodads and thingamajigs, which are similar to gadgets but without the same level of functionality.

The word "gadget" first appeared in print in 1769 and was used as a synonym for "trinket" or "toy." The term came into common usage during World War II when soldiers made up nicknames for various pieces of equipment they needed to use. In the years since then, the term has expanded beyond its original military meaning to include anything small and portable that performs multiple functions.

The most popular gadgets are made in massive factories where hundreds or thousands of employees assemble thousands of units per day. The process starts with raw materials — usually plastic or metal — which are cut into various shapes and sizes according to specifications provided by engineers working on the project.

Once all the pieces have been cut, they're sent through an assembly line where workers put them together according to plans drawn up by engineers working on the project.

Many gadgets have processors made by intel

The term "gadget" has been around for centuries, but it wasn't until the 1960s that it was used to describe electronic devices like calculators, radios and televisions. Many gadgets have processors made by Intel or AMD. These chips handle the calculations that make your computer work. The processor is also called the central processing unit (CPU).

The CPU's job is to take information that you type into your computer and make it do something useful. For example, if you type in a word like "dog" and hit Enter on your keyboard, the CPU will look up all the files on your hard drive that contain "dog." It will then find all instances of "dog" in those files and replace them with an image of a dog so that when you open the file later on, it appears to be about dogs instead of words that happen to sound like dogs (like book).

To Sum Up

That's really the big question, isn't it? Or at least one of them. After all, many of us know the laborious process behind the birth of your typical gadget. But where do they come from specifically? In order to help you get a better idea behind this, we'll take a closer look at the iPhone.
