Black Enterprise Staffers Reveal Holiday Tech They Gave and Received

Carolyn Brown , Senior Editor, Small Business
Gave: Bluetooth Stereo Neckband, iPad Mini
Carolyn says: I gave a friend a Bluetooth Stereo neckband for the iPhone 6 and iPad, and I gave my mom a mini iPad (Apple) to play casino slot games, although I am hoping, before 2016 is out, to get her to use it for other applications. She is a senior citizen but slowly moving toward using new gadgets and technology. Her group of senior friends is slowly starting to use smartphones, iPads, and other devices with the aid of their grandchildren helping them to understand the technology and, in some ways, helping them to connect/feel connected to younger generations.

Wireless neckbands are ideal headphones for music lovers on-the-go or those who want a headphone to stay in place while working out. Prices vary from about $10 to almost $50 for a top-of-the-line pair.

The iPad still reigns as tablet supreme. The mini iPad is sleek and ultra-portable–measuring 6.1 mm wide and .65 pounds.
