Ben’s Gadget Heaven
With modernity comes technology and it is everywhere here. It seems rare to see someone on the street who isn’t clutching an iPod, a computer or a mobile phone (often using several of these things at once!) Ben was particularly delighted to discover that the technology fair was on and he took himself off to the exhibition hall to sample Japan’s latest inventions. Actually, he was a little disappointed at the lack of weird, new gadgets, getting excited by only 3 products: surveillance cameras in buttons and pens, a digital projector that would fit in your breast pocket (if you had strong pockets) and a pen that records what you’re writing in order to transfer the information to your computer into text form. We’re now the proud owners of one such pen!
