The Gadget Show

Episode 1 (19x1)

Data de estreia: Fev 24, 2014

This week, Ortis joins Rachel and Jason to reveal why the desktop PC has gone the way of the dodo and we should be throwing the beige boxes of yesteryear on the scrapheap. Jon pays homage to a piece of retro tech. He meets up with the Beatles’ former photographer Paul Beriff to follow a Beatles tribute band around Liverpool, snapping them using three of the latest digital cameras with old-school styling. YouTube gaming stars Matt and Darren are back on the show, this time testing portable gaming devices. Will any of them be good enough to convince people to stop playing games on their smartphones? Ortis takes a short hop over to Italy to visit one of Europe’s most advanced technological institutes. The IIT houses a collection of robots staking their claim to become part of our daily lives, including the iCub, which can learn skills by interaction with humans. Finally, Jason and Rachel build a gadget-protection device to keep thieves at bay, using none other than Ortis Deley and the Great British public as their test subjects.
