The new James Bond movie releases next week and I can’t wait. The best part of watching a 007 flick is seeing all the new gadgets that Q has cooked up for Bond to use. Over the years their have been some really great ones going all the way back to the Sean Connery era in the 1960’s. Even though the new bond movies don’t include the same amount of cool 007 gadgetry, I thought it would be fun to do a blog on 7 of my personal favorites from the Bond series anyway. When these gadgets were showcased at the movies they were bleeding edge and futuristic. To that end, I thought it would be cool to see if these gadgets have become commonplace today or are still years away.
