Attending the Gadget Show Live has become a bit of a traditional trip down south for Geek Native. We’ve been going since 2011. This year the expo managed to recapture some of the energy that had been missing from the more recent incarnations. It’s worth understanding what you’re going to. The Gadget Show is a […]
Review of the Gadget Show Live 2014

Festo’s flying and morphing shape – new robots ahoy

The Gadget Show Live 2011 review
I say this is a review of The Gadget Show Live in 2011 but be informed that this is the same Gadget Show Live that Jason Bradbury appears, on stage, in a mankini. Everything else seems to pale in significance! First off; there are two parts to The Gadget Show Live out in the National […]
