Does life exist beyond gadgets? We believe that the answer to a common college student will be "No." All of us use them all the time in different ways to make daily deals easier and quicker. And teenagers who were born in the electronic era and now study in college are the striking example of the confluence with gadgets. Let's recall the ways they are used the most.
Three Unquestionable Ways In Which You Use Gadgets
1. Studying. Writing reports, doing research, buying college papers from experts, checking writings — it is not an exhaustive list of academic tasks you can deal with with the help of gadgets of different types. Studying gets easier, but it doesn't mean that professors don't know about it. The major reason you receive more homework today than ever is that professors know how much time you save using gadgets and try to compensate for that both with complexity and amount of tasks.
2. Communication. Talking with friends and family, sharing pictures and life events, following celebrities, and many other social activities that are available thanks to the Internet. This opportunity is especially important in a pandemic situation, as a lack of quality communication can cause anxiety, cognitive problems, and even depression. It is not obligatory, but we recommend to spend more time communicating through video calls than through messengers. Video calls are more strictly limited in time and are a better substitution of live communication.
3. Current tasks. Ordering food, paying bills, booking tickets, and hotels. That is what every person does. And it is impossible to survive in this swift world without such online services. Again, after the COVID-19 outbreak, it became evident that most of the mundane routine tasks will soon be carried out remotely and through gadgets. It is a natural development, but it was speeded up by the pandemic. Every time you order pizza via chatbot, you make the robot revolution closer. Just kidding. Or not.
But let's return to the most important five gadgets that can do all the things above and be comfortable and simple for usage. This list shows that five is enough and even more than enough for a college student.
Gadgets Beneficial to Every Student
1. Smartphone
It is not necessary to explain what it is used for. Most tasks are possible to solve using modern smartphones. Not all are comfortable (typing, searching are much better to do with a PC), but all are available. Smartphone cameras are excellent and give quality, similar to professional cameras. Navigation is installed and works exceptionally. All books are on smartphones, and the problem with downloading them is in the past. Online banking, personal emails are with you all the time thanks to this small clever device. You can lead your life just switching between the apps, especially if you are genuinely fond of social media communication. It gives the possibility to be always online and react immediately to any question.
2. PC/Laptop
We all started with this device. Nowadays it's functions are delegated to other gadgets, but still, it is useful when you need a big screen and a lot of typing. Programmers and students need it. For some tasks, it might not be enough power for a simple laptop, but for every kind of writing, researching information on the Internet, using VPN connections, and checking emails, it will be enough. Modern notebooks are so light and thin that it seems imperceptible in the bag. Thanks to this ability, every student can take it to college and work during breaks as much as he needs.
3. Smartwatch
This gadget appeared not so long ago, but functions that are added with every release are astonishing. From the very beginning, smartwatches just repeated some of the smartphone's possibilities like telling time, messages, incoming calls, etc. But this device is independent now. It measures pulse, pressure, and reminds you to calm down when it understands that you are nervous, counts steps you passed and floors you climbed. They mostly replace the smartphone if you don't need a bigger screen for your task. Secret dictaphone is also on your hand. Maybe someday that can even take photos, but only developers know it for sure.
4. Wireless headphones
Do you remember that day when hands-free appeared? You stopped keeping the phone in your hands. This irreplaceable thing for drivers is still used a lot. But headphones also developed to separate devices. Sure that has less independent functions than smartwatches because they work only with ears and all they do is give information only using this communication channel. Anyway, they are necessary for every college student. Thanks to it you can listen to urgent messages and information during any event where you are present. Vacuum headphones can protect you from the noise around if you need to concentrate right here right now. They are adaptive to every ear so everybody can enjoy the comfort they bring.
5. Electric scooter
The youngest gadget with a bright future. It is more useful for those students who live not far from college and like to move quickly. In big cities with huge traffic, it also becomes popular more and more. You can take it with you underground and extend your way later from any station. They are eco-friendly and cheap compared to electro cars. Sure, you can't use it to go on a long journey, and it doesn't have a boot, but it is quick and doesn't need roads. If you are not sure about using this device, you can rent it and decide whether it's good for you. A lot of companies open points for this kind of rent, especially in tourist places. So try it before buying it.
Final Thoughts
This list is not full, but we believe that all other devices are more specific. In general, students are the social group that reacts fastest to changes and innovation in the market. Students react positively or negatively and start buying gadgets because they are always open to inventions.
