Great Tech Gifts

Tech gadgets have changed the way we live. It's no surprise they make great gifts.


In this digital age that we live in, it seems like every day there is new tech product hitting the stores, from smart phones to eReaders to all kinds of computer add-ons and accessories. A lot of these devices have improved our quality of life prompting everyone to search for the next best thing. When it comes time to give a gift--whether its for the holidays, a birthday or a milestone such as a graduation, a tech gift is something bound to be appreciated.


E-Readers


Ebook readers are gaining on popularity for several reasons, mainly because the prices are going down. Most online bookstores have their own brand of eReaders and costs can be between $80 to $190. The eReader makes a perfect gift for the tech-savvy who love to read. Books are downloaded in minutes and readers can also download samples for free to demo the books before they purchase.








Cell Phone Accesories








Most people don't get themselves extra cell or smartphone batteries, so they can make a great gift. You can also get cell phone covers to protect the phone's outer covering. There are myriad charger options out there, like car chargers, outlet chargers and USB chargers. Make sure you know what kind of phone your recipient has before making a purchase.


Digital Storage


From an extra hard drive to a flash drive, computer and information storage devices are great tech gifts for any tech-savvy person. You can buy storage drives to back-up your recipient's digital audio in case their iPod or mp3 player's memory somehow gets wiped out. With some mp3 players holding up to 180 MB of storage, an extra back-up drive can be the perfect gift.


Software


Software is as tech-driven as it gets; it's what all tech runs on. Getting your recipient a copy of Windows 7 could be a great idea if they don't have it. Updating a Mac's operating system with the latest software can thrill any tech-head. You may even want to look into the latest word processing programs for computers or programs for art and music.
