Let’s all be honest. Technology has become a huge part to everyone’s life: not only because there is practically a gadget for everything. But, also because technology is becoming more affordable than ever too – you can have a tablet for under 100 dollars easy. For this reason, here are the top picks of the must have gadgets every person should own because sooner or later, you will most likely need/want one of the below.

#1 GoPro Camera

Never has it been a better time to buy a camera so that when the time arises to record your memories, sports and activities, you have the right equipment to do so.

The great thing about GoPro cameras is that they do not have to be just for sport like they are advertised. There have been some great videos such as the YouTube video of David Finlayson attaching a GoPro to the end of his trombone. GoPros can be used to record anything and because they are waterproof, shockproof, dust proof and, for that matter, life proof, they are the perfect companion to take with you wherever you go.

#2 Fitness Wearable – Fitbit Charge HR

Fitness wearables have now been with us for a few years now and the market is still booming. Why? Because everyone wants a fitness tracker to help monitor their lives and see how healthy they actually are.

For this reason, the best fitness tracker to get for the price is the Fitbit Charge HR. Although it came out last year, buck for buck, nothing can beat it yet. It offs 24/7 tracking, a great app which syncs using your smartphone over bluetooth and is comfortable and not invasive to wear. The heart rate monitor is a great feature to have and having it on a wrist makes fitness wearables a truly must have gadget.

#3 Next Generation Gaming Console

Next generation consoles have been with us a few years too, just like the fitness wearables. However, 2016 is the year of next gen consoles because of virtual reality. With all of the biggest tech companies realizing their VR headsets in 2016, it is the year that you must have a next generation console so that when the VR storm comes, you are prepared for it with the right hardware.

If you need guidance of what to choose, your best bet is to go with the Playstation 4. Although the Xbox One is likely to have their own VR headset, we can be sure that Sony are producing their own VR headset which have rumors to be a very good device, on par or better than what Oculus are likely to bring to the market this year too.

You will probably have heard people saying every year that this year is going to be the year of technology. But it is not a cliche to say that 2016 is really going to be the year of tech. With advances in VR, smartphones, fitness wearables and 4K recording capabilities (and beyond that for that matter) it really is a necessity to stay up to date with the best tech gadgets out there.
