It's a Gadget Freak Blast From the PastIt's a Gadget Freak Blast From the Past

It's been years and years of Gadget Freaks. Design News launched its popular feature, Gadget Freak, more than a decade ago. Since then, we have posted nearly 300 original gadgets.

When we launched Gadget Freak, we didn’t even present original gadgets. We searched the Internet and collect what we thought was cool. One was the first Apple iPhone, which we found quite amazing. That quickly exploded into something quite larger than a quirky gadget.

The Gadget Freaks we’ve presented here are the first original gadgets that we began to present in 2009. As you’ll see in the slideshow (with links to each Gadget Freak presented), we started out with some very sophisticated devices. The goal was to offer something cool with sufficient instructions that would enable you to build it in your home shop.
