I know my Dad is always inquiring about the latest app, the best streaming service or new features for his iPhone, but typically a man’s love of new gadgets and technology runs deeper than that. Overall, 52% of adults say they “feel more comfortable using familiar brands and products,” when it comes to technology and 39% describe themselves as preferring to wait until they hear about others’ experiences before trying new technology themselves. If you don’t want your Dad peeking over someone’s shoulder looking at a friend or colleague’s new smartphone, tablet or travel accessory, you’ve come to the right place.
Don’t go searching blindly for that perfect ‘techy’ gift for a Dad that lives OTP, here are some of Rick’s suggestions:
