I ask myself this question many times and I still have a fascination with gadgets like I think a lot of people have and I think men even have more of a fascination with gadgets than women. It can be the novelty or the coldness, but deep down we all have this mentality that we like new things that are fascinating to our minds. I’d like to put the gadgets into several different categories.

1. Geeky Gadgets – This category would include most people who want electronic gadgets, from computers to simple electronic wonders that come and go with our time. Many geek gadgets can be a new fascination for a new type of mouse for a computer or even an electronic lighter.
2. Gadgets for men: In my opinion, men are more intrigued by gadgets than even boys. Men like to see something they can touch or feel, and not necessarily an electronic device, although I am personally fascinated with anything related to computers, especially wi-fi or Bluetooth devices.
3. Gadgets for women: Women like gadgets for personal hygiene, hair gadgets that make the job of styling hair faster, and especially kitchen gadgets to make their lives easier.
4. Electronic Devices – I know this is a broad category, but everyone likes devices that make life easier for us, and yet they may be more appealing to one group than another, depending on what type of device it is. The latest devices like the Echo Dot and Home are just some of the artificial devices that you talk to and respond to once you give them voice commands. Just look at our smartphones that can control our lights, security systems, or order products online. Just think how advanced GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) has become, capable of finding almost any place in the world. Electronics has become such a big part of our lives, almost anything with the name “smart” in front of it can be a new electronic device.
5. Silly and funny gadgets – I group them together because if you are a prankster then there is a gadget for you, it can be a spy camera inside a pen or a camera attached to a tag on a shirt or jacket. . How about a box that does nothing, stupid to some people, and hilarious to others? There are political gadgets and others that will simply give you ideas for your next party.

So why do we like gadgets? Psychologists believe that we want to have what others have, for example the launch of a new smartphone will find people lining up just to be in the “crowd”. Marketers use many clever means to sell new gadgets, that way they can entice you to feel like you must have that special item. These studies are based on market research. A new field called “neromarketing” has opened up, which is the science of smart marketing whereby companies seek to understand consumer behavior and why they are attracted to certain products, such as gadgets.
