There is no doubt about it: we live in a technological age. From MRI scans to security cameras, technology has been harnessed to keep us safe and well and, with innovations such as online banking and household appliances, save us time that we can spend on leisure activities. Technology also provides a myriad of ways to spend your leisure time. That being said, here are four pieces of tech to help to live an enjoyable life.

1. Vapes

If you are a smoker, you might be going through the quitting journey. If you are, understandably, finding this difficult, vapes are a new stop smoking aid that might just help you quit for good. Vapes, also known as e-cigarettes, are electronic devices that allow you to inhale nicotine in a vapor, bypassing the harmful elements found in tobacco smoke. Vape juice comes in a vast variety of flavors for you to enjoy. From classic tastes like menthol and tobacco to more unusual flavors like mojito and gingerbread, you are sure to find a vape to suit every mood. 

2. Smartphone

A smartphone is perhaps the most essential piece of tech to own, due to its many applications. These small devices can be used not only to text and make phone calls, but to watch videos, listen to music, browse the internet, and check your emails, amongst many other apps. While iPhones are the quintessential smartphones to a lot of people, there are many other smartphones made by other brands for you to try, for instance, Samsung Android and Huawei P Smart. 

3. iPad

iPads are a good halfway point between a smartphone and a laptop. With many apps available for download, you can customize your iPad to your needs. You might use yours for word processing (with the addition of a keyboard), creating presentations, or conducting Zoom meetings, if your iPad is primarily for business use. Or, if you are using it mainly for pleasure, you can browse the internet, edit photographs, and watch films and television shows on streaming sites such as Netflix. The major benefit of an iPad is its portability. It is small and light, meaning that you can easily take your iPad with you wherever you go. 

4. Gaming technology

The video game industry has an interesting history involving continuous innovation since Pacman in the 1980s. Most households are not without a gaming device like a PlayStation or an Xbox, even tablets or phones, letting you play away the hours on engaging, character- and story-led games with you, the player, at the helm. Video games inspire tremendous loyalty in their fans, as evidenced by the numerous gaming conventions taking place all over the world every year, such as The Games Awards and Comic-Con. With virtual reality (VR) technology quickly becoming the new gaming innovation, keep your eyes peeled for VR helmets and other devices. These are sure to make your future gaming sessions even more thrilling, immersive, and fun.
