Dads just want to be Bond!
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 12:49PM To coincide with Father’s Day, GadgetHelpline.com polled 2,000 British fathers on their favourite all-time movie gadgets and devices and it seems that when it comes to gadgets the UK’s male population have one role model who makes all others pale into insignificance – James Bond.
From the Omega laser watch and exploding pen in Golden Eye, to the vehicle-controlling Ericsson mobile phone in Tomorrow Never Dies, or the Magnetic Rolex Watch in Live and Let Die - all of which topped the poll - British males seem to want nothing more than to put on 007’s famous tuxedo and thwart the bad guys with one of Q’s ingenious inventions.
“Deep down it seems that British dads want nothing more than to have access to the range of ultra cool gadgets and gizmos developed by Her Majesty’s Secret service and who can blame them,” says GadgetHelpline.com founder Crispin Thomas. “James Bond’s gadgets are cool, exciting and guaranteed to get you out of any scrape you find yourself in - and modern gadget companies should definitely turn to the Bond movies for inspiration.”
