GADGETS AND THEIR USES

 Extension cord – is used as a power extender or
extension lead that allows electrical appliances to be
used at the same time.
 Doorbell – is a signaling device typically placed near
a door to a building's entrance. When a visitor presses
a button the bell rings inside the building, alerting the
 occupant to the presence of the visitor.
 Plugs and sockets – are devices that allow
electrically operated equipment to be connected to
the primary alternating current (AC) power supply in
a building. 
 Lampshades – aside from its decorative element, it
is used to diffuse or redirect the light emitted by the
bulb for maximum effectiveness
 Wireless CCTV camera - are basically used to
monitor places such as banks, airports, museums,
commercial centers, shopping malls, car parking
areas, public events and other places. Today the
Closed-Circuit Television Cameras are used in homes
too for security purposes
 USB player - is one of the most modern music
equipment used by music lovers
 Oven toaster – is used to bake cookies, cook quick
snacks,and toast foods
 Cellphone - any portable telephone
which uses cellular network technology to make and
receive calls
 Laptop/Desktop –is used to store huge amount of
data ad perform many functions that have made our
life easier.
 Flat iron –is used to press clothes to
remove creases
