Gifts For Early Adopter Dads!
Is your Dad tech savvy? Has he always been an early adopter? My dad has. He bought high tech gifts for us when we were little…I think most of them might have been for him too!
We had one of the first handheld calculators, it cost $99 and today you could pick up one from the dollar store that had similar functions. He bought one of the first home computer (a Radio Shack Tandy). We had one of the original home video games (Pong). As kids, my brother and I had one of the first black and white portable TVs, we rolled it between our rooms on a portable TV stand.
So you know, with my dad just turning 80 this year, I am eyeing all kinds of tech savvy equipment for him. So look at what just arrived for Father’s Day and all your summer fun at Best Buy…
Oh my, it’s a 3DRobotics Solo Drone! A personal smart drone, that is the first-ever drone powered by two integrated Linux computers, making capturing the perfect shot easy for anyone!

My grandson would actually love this….I don’t think that will be happening. 🙂 Technology keeps growing. It’s amazing how it has come for those “amazing” calculators and even early computers to today’s smart appliances and drones.
Im sure most men would want one of these. Personally Im not sure they are good to use , to many people use them for the wrong reason.
My husband would love this,
I think my husband would enjoy a drone. He has a lot of helicopters.
I didn’t realize they had a screen like that. You hear so much about them now, but if used correctly then I know they would be a lot of fun. I’m looking for something for my son-in-law. I think he would love this, it would have to be a more low cost drone. Thanks for all the information on the drone. My dad would have loved them also, he used to work on TVs in the 60’s. We even made our own transistor radio from a kit and extras that dad had laying around the house. He was just learning the computers before he passed away. He was more interested in taking them apart rather than using them for information. I think when parents are really interested in hobbies and such, it really shows their kids how living life is so exciting and wonderful.
My husband would really enjoy playing around with this!
I don’t know if I like these drones. Some people having been causing havoc using drones at airports. Very dangerous!!
This is actually very cool and I’m sure something my father in law and my husband would enjoy!
WHOA! That is awesome! I’d totally want one for Christmas…hint, hint. LOL!
