As a rule, devices that exclude autonomy can fall under the definition of such a concept as a "gadget". Today, this concept has certain extensions and can cover almost any subject that is used by modern users.

One of the first and well-known assistants was a calculator. Such a mini computing device gained popularity all over the world very quickly and opened the horizons for new innovative assistants.

Starting from 1984 of the last century, the possibilities of the calculator were expanded by supplying the device with an organizer and a phone book. Several companies at that time were trying to invent the best gadget for that era.

The 1990s saw a major technological breakthrough that saw the introduction of the first large-screen handheld portable computers. The purpose of such devices was to perform many tasks, as well as to contain small lists of pre-installed game and work programs.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, technological progress has taken on a more rapid pace. This has led to the emergence of modern smartphones, electronic home assistants, tablets and various add-ons to them. To date, the choice of these smart devices is very diverse and large.

Modern gadgets are in great demand among users around the world, and they are divided into the following types:

• Portable devices (smartphones, tablets and other communication devices).
