1. The "Phablet"     
         - the mix of the words "smartphone" and "tablet". it all started with the iPhone in 2007 to the iPad in 2010. It is meant to serve as a communication and internet device at a cost lower than a full tablet, and a screen slightly bigger than a smartphone but much smaller than the traditional tablet.

2. The New Apple iTV and Smart Television
            - It is possibly true that Samsung Smart TV set the pace in modern television, but there is much in the waiting that may just revolutionize how television viewing is done.
A smart TV is different from the traditional TV set in that it runs a specialized operating system, which seamlessly integrates web services, multitasking, modern gaming and enhanced human interactivity – all in addition to normal TV services.
A major step should possibly be realized with the launch of the much anticipated iTV from Apple.

  -  A case in point is the patent filed by Apple on 11th August 2011, where it unveiled plans to integrate mini or pico-like projectors into future devices. Integration of the projector would enable the user project video or image data presentation on any surface or better still, anywhere without a surface.                      




Personal Views:
                     These gadgets were used for the good of mankind. Basically, for our society to prosper. These inventions shaped the lives of many people, even improved their lives. These may also have negative effects on the people. Computer Addiction may be an outcome of all the negativities one may get. so it is not only our right to possess these things but also our responsibility.
