Q. I am researching new market trends that are likely to produce more gadgets in 2013. Efficiency, especially in terms of how we run our daily lives, is essential here. I have looked at websites such as Kickstart.com and have gotten a few good ideas, but would like any more suggestions. This is NOT a homework assignment. I am looking for investmentts.
A. You will find things you never new existed in this list. If you are like me, you will also find yourself wishing you were a kid, just so YOU could get some of these hot toys. I know they didn't have cool toys like this when "I" was a boy.Technology is something that kids understand a lot better than us old folks. Many of these toys and gadgets are technology based (although not all of them). Kids understand them and love them.
What makes some kids instantly cooler than others?
Q. At school there are the populars and unpopulars. The populars are animals, they make out with people, sware, attack people (physically, emotionally, mentally, and verbally), they do drugs and drink. What makes them cooler than us when we do the right thing, we don't sware, we don't make out, we dont drink and do drugs, and every fricken girl/ boy wants to be their bf/gf. Every kid bends to their every will. Why are they cool.
A. They are popular for all the wrong reasons.
The country, the mass media and popular culture celebrates materialism, selfishness and pride, all at the expense of others. It’s like if you are in a criminal gang and all they do for a living is deal in drugs, kidnap, rob, rape and kill; you’d be very popular and cool if you did a lot of that. BUT law enforcement and the rest of the country would want you arrested and executed.
So the kids at school who are popular and cool are misguided, spineless and unoriginal people who stoop to all kinds of evil because they don’t have the courage, wisdom and moral fibre to be good. Those who think they are popular and cool are equally misguided, unoriginal and spineless themselves.
If you look carefully, you will see that those who are popular invariably employ all kinds of outright or subtle intimidation so that others fear them for the bad that they can do to them. They are not liked ---- they are feared. They are not so much popular as they are notorious.
Besides, they are people who are so insecure inside that they are constantly upgrading their wardrobe, buying the latest gadgets, doing the latest prank, going to parties, etc, basically being very, very busy with all kinds of transient, meaningless things, like the way monkeys get so busy if you plant a fake tree and throw in a few used tires in their cage. Would you call monkeys cool? We laugh at monkeys because they look like clowns swinging, running, jabbering and fighting inside their cage all the time. But if you see a monkey sitting in a corner and he's reading a book and pondering the deeper things in life; now that's one helluva cool monkey.
ONLY KIDS WHO DON’T KNOW ANY BETTER BEND TO THEIR WILL. Most adults will kick their asses if they so much as try their antics on them. Why? Because we think they are weak, insecure, notorious little idiots who are up to no good. Popular and cool? Not by a trillion miles!

What kind of being was Inspector Gadget?
Q. I was reminiscing about an old cartoon I used to watch on Nickelodeon as a kid called Inspector Gadget. Today it has me wondering just what the hell was this guy? Is he android, human, or a mix of the two? And who or what made him? His niece, Penny, was Gadget really an uncle towards her? Instances when he'd extend his metallic neck many feet into the air would have me puzzled. How can someone do this, and still manage to be alive as a human?
A. I guess you'd call him a human cyborg. He's a person with robotic parts. Unless it was some secret to the story, Penny was his real niece and he was her legal guardian.
As to the extent of the gadgets, that's just the cartoon aspect, which like many cartoons, requires a good deal of suspension of disbelief.
