High School English: Paragraphs About Electronic Gadgets

Part 1:
Go online and find a new electronic "gadget" that you would like to share with your fellow classmates.

Gadgets include handhelds, GPS, cell phones/combo's, gaming systems, cameras, and any other small self-contained electronic gizmo. The item can already be available on the market or it can be in development.

It has to be very unique!!! Write a paragraph about what you found.

Part 2:
