We have all been there on Christmas day fiddling endlessly trying to get that new gadget working and finally after another few drinks putting it to one side…

Researchers have claimed this week that £23bn worth of gadgets are gathering dust rather than being the life saver we thought they would be. This number does not include when we cant figure out how to use a gadget and get a fraction of the use we could from it! I think everyone would have at least one item which would dont get the most from ie multimedia players where you can only play music and cant get the radio, video, sound recorders etc to work, flash phones with loads of functions you never figured out to use, dodgy Satnav and the worst offenders of course are PCs/laptops which are only use for a few mins a week to check emails or do a little bit of shopping.

In fact, millions of people are switching off their Satnavs and driving ‘old school’ due to their Satnav taking them to somewhere irrelevant! Dodgy gadgets can infuriate the best of us and misleading gobbledgook instructions rarely help to remedy the matter.

So a couple of recommendations would be to avoid over cluttered gadgets with ‘kitchen sink’ features when we are not going to use them, spend more time in a shop trying out gadgets and dont be scared to ask shop staff how to get gadgets working and finally there will be online support for many premium gadgets which may make more sense that instructions printed with your gadget.

With more and more people investing in increasingly complicated and expensive gadgetry this propblem will only increase!

These days keeping your gadgets safe is becoming more and more difficult what with criminals being gadget savy, tighter restrictions at airports and new combination gadgets (think iTouch or iPhone media player/phone/etc).

UK Gadget Shops has a few tips to Keeping Your Gadgets Safe:

- Dont check in expensive gadgets with your airport baggage as officials have power to check bags and have been known to relieve bags of goodies such as expensive phones and iPods.

- Dont ‘flash’ your top of the line phone or iPod in a bar or train station or bus terminal, there may be people watching.

- Write down serial numbers of devices for insurance purposes.

- Dont leave desirable items in full view when you leave them in the car, use the glove box or under a seat.

Millions of pounds worth of gadgets are left on public transport so be careful you take all you stuff when you reach your destination!!
