 WHAT ARE IT GADGETS ?
 In the software industry, "Gadget" refers to
computer programs that provide services
without needing an independent application to
be launched for each one, but instead run in
an environment that manages multiple
gadgets.
 There are several implementations based on
existing software development techniques, like
JavaScript, form input, and various image
formats.
 The earliest documented use of the term
gadget in context of software engineering was
in 1985 by the developers of AmigaOS, the
operating system of the Amiga computers.

HISTORY OF GADGETS ?
• The etymology of the word is disputed. The word
first appears as reference to an 18th-century tool in
glassmaking that was developed as a spring pontil.
• According to the Oxford English Dictionary, there is
anecdotal (not necessarily true) evidence for the
use of "gadget" as a placeholder name for a
technical item whose precise name one can't
remember since the 1850s; with Robert Brown's
1886 book Spunyarn and Spindrift, A sailor boy’s
log of a voyage out and home in a China tea-clipper
containing the earliest known usage in print.
• The usage of the term in military parlance extended
beyond the navy.

 HISTORY OF GADGETS ?

• In the book "Above the Battle" by Vivian

Drake, published in 1918 by D. Appleton
& Co., of New York and London, being the
memoirs of a pilot in the British Royal
Flying Corps, there is the following
passage: "Our ennui was occasionally
relieved by new gadgets -- "gadget" is the
Flying Corps slang for invention! Some
gadgets were good, some comic and
some extraordinary."
• By the second half of the twentieth
century, the term "gadget" had taken on
the connotations of compactness and
mobility.
