Each December, I am asked the same question over and over: why should I buy my nerdy tech-savvy friend, spouse, co-worker, boss, etc.?
It is an excellent question, however, there may not be a good, single answer since technology is so personal! Just last week I was asked by a parent of a college-aged son what cell phone they might consider picking up for their child for Christmas and unfortunately the best I could do was offer a less-than-helpful “it depends!”
However, there is one stocking stuffer that I would very much recommend for any tech-savvy person: the excellent Belkin SurgePlus Mini Travel Surge Protector!
Power is one of the most critical needs of a technophile. As our bags and pockets fill up with gadgets and devices that run on power, we have a greater need than ever to pick up extra juice on the go. If you have ever been to a conference, professional development workshop or meeting, this need is complicated by fact that not only are you carrying around 2+ devices that require power, so does everyone else in your meeting! Outlets are at a premium and are quickly filled by others.
